Description
In the newest addition to the HIP HOTELS stable, Herbert Ypma follows in the footsteps of Alexander the Great and Marco Polo to find 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 architectural fantasy with a majestic exterior and daring Art Deco interior designed in the late 1920s for one of Indias most monumental homes. Admire the flair and extravagance of one of the Orients most flamboyant houses in the multicultural Cheong Fatt Tze Mansion in Penang, a tribute to the ancient philosophy of feng shui and the harmonious fusion of East and West. Relax in a guest villa of King Sihanouk, now the setting for Cambodias sophisticated new Aman hotel, 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 by an all-star cast of Asian design talent set beside Chinas most famous ancient structure.
Sublime monuments, ancient traditions, tantalizing locations and startling modernity make HIP HOTELS: ORIENT Herbert Ypmas most exciting book to date.
