Hip Hotels: France

| ‘From louche luxury to minimalist chic, this is absolutely the last word. Throw your other French hotel guides in the bin’ | | – Graham Grant, Arena |
| ‘Where local culture mixes with intelligent design’ | | – Time Magazine |
| 'A book – the word "guide" does not do it justice – that collects some of the country's most stylish hotels and illustrates them in such lavish detail that all you want to do on flicking through its pages is cross the Channel at the earliest opportunity' | – Tim Jepson,
The Sunday Telegraph |

France has it all – a rich history, an incredibly varied landscape, a gastronomic culture that is unsurpassed, and a tradition of good living that remains blissfully untainted by the stresses of modern life. It also offers an unparalleled choice of world-class places to stay – from medieval châteaux and grand city hotels to rural farmhouses and Alpine chalets – and, of course, the very latest in interior design.
Hip Hotels: France brings together the most authentic and individual hotels in the country's choicest destinations. Choose between the ornate style of colonial Indochina or the ultrachic pared-down touch of Christian Liaigre, a fisherman's hut on the south Atlantic coast or the hip modernity of Le Corbusier's Unité d'Habitation in Marseilles. Some are established, some unknown, but every one of these hotels is a unique response to the geography, cuisine and design heritage of its location.
So whether you are an adventurer, a gourmet or a design aficionado – or all of the above – Hip Hotels : France will enable you to plan your itinerary through city, town, coast and countryside.
Photographer and writer Herbert Ypma grew up on three continents, and has remained a global nomad ever since. His bestselling World Design series of visual sourcebooks set a new standard in interior design publishing.
