Luxe European City Guides by Letizia Rossi

luxe.jpg Luxe has introduced guides for European cities. With the same first-person, opinionated approach and unique perspective that we loved in their Paris, Madrid, and Istanbul are perfect companions for sophisticated travelers. Packed with information on over 300 bars, restaurants, clubs, spas and cultural activities, each entry bears the publishing editor's personal stamp of approval. Knowing you probably have little interest in visiting the same ubiquitous chain stores available at home, Luxe guides focus on artisans and shops producing one-of-a kind innovative designs. Forgoing graphics, photos, and other filler, the streamlined concertina-format books are the perfect size to fit into a shirt pocket and are updated as often as twice a year, so they are always current. $9 each from Luxe.

Hotel Particulier

CH had the privilege of staying there recently (courtesy of the hotel, which just opened its doors in June) and enjoyed the luxuriously appointed rooms and movie-perfect setting—the adjacent pétanque court being the cherry on top of the cake. With a well-curated...
Hg2 Travel Guides
We're digging the Hg2 series of travel books which take in Paris, London, Rome, Buenos Aires and Miami. The series comes in a half dust jacket (which apparently is meant to be removed once you've settled in to your vacation city), sitting over a Moleskin-like journal chock-full of insidery travel tips. It's fun and informal. A bit like the cities they cover. Hmmm. Now...
Luxe New York City Guide
Luxe, the city guides we love for their pocket-size editions covering the best of where to eat, shop, hang out and sleep in major cities throughout Europe and Asia, is at long last tackling the U.S. starting with New York. Hitting stores this week, the guides follow the same format as their predecessors, trimming down info on hundreds of locations to fit on a...
