In an age of fast, easy access to the furthest corners of the globe, few destinations remain fresh and undiscovered. That is, unless you know where to go…. In the newest addition to the
HIP HOTELS® stable, Herbert Ypma finds the most extraordinary, inspiring Highly Individual Places yet.
Live like a maharaja – with a maharaja – in the splendid Umaid Bhawan Palace in Rajasthan, a unique Art Deco architectural fantasy designed for one of India’s most monumental homes. Admire the flair and extravagance of one of the Orient’s most flamboyant houses in the Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion in Penang, a tribute to feng shui. Relax in a guest villa of King Sihanouk, whose Sixties-inspired modernist aesthetic is the perfect antidote to days spent exploring the nearby temples of Angkor. Or venture to the Commune by the Great Wall, a vibrant, highly innovative development set beside China’s most famous monument.
Sublime monuments, ancient traditions, tantalizing locations and startling modernity make HIP HOTELS: ORIENT Herbert Ypma’s most exciting book to date.
Herbert Ypma grew up on three continents, and has remained a global nomad ever since. HIP HOTELS: ORIENT is the latest volume in his bestselling series.
