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.
