Written by one of the world's leading trend spotters and proprietor of the widely-read www.coolhunter.net, Bill Tikos, The World's Coolest Hotel Rooms opens the doors to more than fifty of the hippest, sexiest, newest, and most unusual rooms across the seven continents. Featuring the work of today's top architects and interior designers, this book offers diverse accommodations with one thing in common: impeccable taste with edge. So wherever wanderlust may take you—from an idyllic getaway in Scotland's remote Jura Island to the bright lights and nonstop action of Berlin—there is an amazing place to stay, and Tikos has roamed the globe to find it and the best room in the house. From a personal concierge in Buenos Aires who can schedule an impromptu tango lesson to a spectacular view of Rajasthan's age old Aravali hills from a deluxe suite, every accommodation provides a unique experience. Boring is not an option. There are rooms that fulfill rock star fantasies—complete with soundstage—and others that elevate the meaning of luxury, with sumptuously dressed daybeds in lush, secluded gardens with private pools. Each entry provides the inspiration behind the hotel's architecture, details the room's special amenities, design features, and rate. Local points of interest are described as well. With every entry personally selected by a tastemaker whose discerning eye for the most happening movements, styles, and trends in travel, fashion, music, urban living, and design has earned him a global following, The World's Coolest Hotel Rooms is indispensable for creating a special travel experience.

Is Paris really the eternal City of Love? Dumped suddenly by her Parisian boyfriend, sultry expat Lily is left wondering if je t'aime still exists. Instead of crying into her glass of wine, she decides to heal her bruised ego and quash her romantic doubts with a carefree summer fling . . . or as the French call it: une aventure. Supported by her faithful friends and trusty Saint Amour wine, Lily embarks on her presumably easy quest. Little does she know what-or whom-this adventure has in store! Rather than guide her into the arms of a perfect summer amoureux, the sexy streets of Paris lead her from one impossible candidate to another: disappearing foxy Frenchmen, unavailable Latino heartthrobs, overly-mysterious world travelers, mistress-hunting married men, and not-so-single amnesiacs-oh la la! As her amorous mishaps accumulate, Lily gradually re-evaluates her strategy. But will her good intentions be enough to lead her to the right homme . . . one who might last out the summer-and maybe even beyond? Or will she continue to get embroiled in more mesaventure? This novelized memoir tells the tantalizingly true romantic odyssey of a 21st-Century young woman caught in the mire of desires-which is only intensified by the passion of Paris.

A breathtaking celebration of Instagram's premier solo female travel community, featuring 200 striking photographs—most of them all-new—plus empowering messages and practical tips for solo travelers. “For those with passports full of stories, this book carries you away to every dreamy corner of the earth. I can’t stop flipping through these visually incandescent pages to see where I’m capable of traveling to next!”—Caila Quinn, The Bachelor contestant and lifestyle and travel influencer From backpackers in Peru to artists in Berlin to storytellers in Morocco, Dame Traveler celebrates the diversity and bravery of women from around the world who are not afraid to think (and live) outside the box. The revolutionary Dame Traveler Instagram account was founded by Nastasia Yakoub, who was born into a strict Chaldean-Middle Eastern community where women are expected to marry young and put aside other personal ambitions. But at the age of twenty, Nastasia embarked on a solo trip to South Africa to volunteer at an orphanage in Cape Town, which sparked a love of world travel. Recognizing a void in the travel industry, she founded Dame Traveler, the first female travel community on Instagram, now more than half a million strong. Nastasia herself has traveled to sixty-three countries on solo adventures, sharing colorful photos of her tantalizing travels along the way. Dame Traveler celebrates these women with a photographic collection of 200 stunning images paired with inspiring captions, 80% of which have never been seen on the Instagram account. Organized into sections on architecture, culture, nature, and water, each entry features travel information, plus tips, advice, unique solo-travel experiences, and wisdom from contributing globe-trotters to embolden the next generation of Dame Travelers.
