This series examines the meeting of lifestyle and interior design. Each volume will concentrate either on "ethnic" or "urban" traditions, encompassing places in the world that provide inspiration to today's designers. The series looks at not only the particular design itself, but the context in which it exists, the inspirations from which it originated, and the ways in which it can be applied. Examples are given from both public and private buildings. This volume looks at the London minimum design theme.

This title combines a history of design and architecture in Morocco with an insight into the most contemporary trends.

Getting away from it all is as much a part of modern life as late nights at the office and rush-hour traffic. We can all use an escape to exotic destinations, but free time is scarce and the choice of where to go is more important than ever. Paradise is the aim--perfect weather, great food, and breathtaking surroundings--and Hip Hotels: Escape features an extraordinary collection of Highly Individual Places in idyllic locations around the globe. Mexico, Morocco, India, South Africa, Tahiti, Jamaica, Cuba, Colombia, Chile, Bali, Portugal, Spain, the Australian outback--Hip Hotels: Escape covers the full range of potential escape experiences. From the Renaissance beauty of J. P. Getty's villa on the shores of Italy to a handful of luxurious tents on a remote jungle island in the China Sea, from the unique mud-hut architecture of the Mandawa Desert Camp in Rajasthan to the lush surroundings of the famous Marrakesh palm grove, escape hotels combine the impact of extraordinary geography with architectural ingenuity. Simple yet sophisticated, rugged yet refined, these hotels cater to both our instinct for escape and our city-bred taste for comfort and luxury. Like the hotels featured in Hip Hotels: City, some of the most famous names in contemporary architecture, design, decoration, and gastronomy have had a hand in creating these seductive retreats. From Jean Nouvel's design of the Hotel St. James outside Bordeaux to Renzo Mongiardino's classic renovation of a thirteenth-century monastery near Siena, from Ralph Lauren's styling of Nelson Rockefeller's former lakeside lodge in the Adirondacks to French superchef Alain Ducasse's conversion of a Provencal farmhouse, these hotels offer paradise exactly the way we want it: perfect.

Hip Hotels: City was the very first book to address a whole new travel phenomenon: hotels of such sheer style and individuality that they have redefined the travel experience. Through innovative architecture, outstanding design, and world-class cuisine, Hip Hotels have become destinations in their own right. But the book did not just identify a trend, it has led it. This revised edition reflects that, introducing ten stunning new hotels. They include Blakes in Amsterdam, Anouska Hempel's latest venture, which brings her Asian-inflected minimalism to a superb piece of Dutch Golden Age architecture. In London there is One Aldwych, one of the finest examples of the new contemporary luxury that is fast turning the traditional grand hotel into a museum piece. The Establishment in the heart of Sydney takes the hotel-as-destination concept to a new level: besides being a superb hotel, it houses the city's hottest bar, restaurant, nightclub, and sushi bar, all in one incredibly radical architectural conversion. And there are new destinations: Stockholm, Marrakesh, and Delhi, whose recently opened Manor Hotel is a total surprisea fine example of fifties modern architecture that was originally built as a hunting lodge.The biggest names, the hippest locations, and above all the most stylish hotels in the world: with this new revised edition, Hip Hotels: City remains the definitive guide. 600 illustrations, 500 in color.

Hip Hotels is all about winter action and sharp style. With ever more people catching on to the thrill and spectacle of the mountains, the choice of ski hotels has become mind-boggling - and overwhelmingly mediocre. In this volume Herbert Ypma, himself an avid skier, proves that there are alternatives to the tired formulae of the typical resort hotel. You can go for a remote lodge in the Canadian Rockies or Wild West authenticity, alpine log cabin or sleek contemporary style.
