A new direction for the best-selling series: Hip Hotels focusing uniquely on cities.


In the six years since Herbert Ypma invented a new genre of travel publishing with the original Hip Hotels, an astonishing expansion has brought Highly Individual Places into every neighborhood of one of the most vibrant cities in the world: New York.


This new Hip Hotels book 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 New York's classic Carlyle to the cutting-edge QT, there is a hotel in this book to suit everyone. 300+ color illustrations.
