Book Description
Fantasies, originality, style, location—all the ingredients that make a Hip Hotel—are available at economical rates, if only you know where to look. This collection, like all Hip Hotel books, is truly global in range. Urban or remote, historic or post-industrial, Sunset Boulevard or Australian outback: the experience is yours to choose. The featured hotels include a vast, converted power plant in Hamburg, a collection of thatched huts overlooking a black-sand beach in Bali, a palace in the heart of the Marrakesh medina, and an original canal house on the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam. Budget or not, style doesn't get more authentic than this. Even if money is no object, every one of these hotels offers the priceless, unique experience that defines a Hip Hotel. With 500 illustrations, 400 in color.

I love to travel, but funds are limited and when I'm at home all I think about is travelling. I also don't think that budget travel means some cheap motel off the interstate or miles away from the city you are visiting. I am always on the lookout of hip hotels that make travel fun. This is more of a wishbook than a guidebook, but it's great fun to see what is doable on a budget

Because most of us have eyes that are bigger than our travel budget!

Why travel to a conference and stay in a dumpy hotel? I'll be using this for my next conference! (via OooLaLa)
