A new direction for the best-selling series:Hip Hotelsfocusing uniquely on cities. In the six years since Herbert Ypma invented a new genre of travel publishing with the originalHip Hotels, an astonishing expansion has brought Highly Individual Places into every neighborhood of one of the most vibrant cities in the world: London. This newHip Hotelsbook contains district-by-district coverage, including an introduction to the neighborhood that succinctly sums up its particular atmosphere. There are specially taken photographs of each hotel, accompanied by informative descriptions plus essential information: street and email addresses, telephone and fax numbers, and room rates. A new feature of these city books is the listing, for each hotel, of an "absolutely have-to-see" site of special local interest and a local "must-have lunch or dinner" restaurant. From London's eclectic Portobello Hotel to the minimalist Hempel, there is a hotel in this book to suit everyone. 300+ color illustrations.
