^#smrgSAHAF Hip Hotels: City -

Destined to become the bible for traveling fashionistas (or those who just wish they were), this achingly chic photo book is to hotel rooms what "Vogue" is to models. From the sumptuously uninhibited mix of textures at London's Blakes to the crisp, eco-friendly lines at Berlin's airy Bleibtreu to the eclectic funk of Miami's Pelican, the coolest international interiors are represented here. Better yet, the images are supplemented by diverting background information....[Grade:] A. -- Entertainment Weekly, 12 March 1999 About the Author Herbert Ypma has written numerous books on international style, among them London Minimum, Paris Object Trouve, Pacific Island, Morocco Modern, Mexican Contemporary, American Country and Irish Georgian.
