30 Dirty Weekends, One Book

Mr and Mrs Smith, the boutique hotel connoisseurs, are launching their latest luxe review in time for the holiday gifting season. Bound in gloss and oozing sex appeal, this coffee-table-cum-designer-hotel-porn is the perfect stocking stuffer for the traveler in your life. The 360-page tome covers 30 destination hotels detailed in the Smith style, wherein a couple is sent anonymously to a Smith-approved hotel to write a cheeky he-said-she-said review of the joint. The Global Shortlist is the sixth book in the series, joining Smith 52: The Game Plan, European Cities, European Coast and Country, and UK/Ireland Volumes I and II.

Highlights of the book include the Bowery Hotel in New York ("With it’s patinated bronze Waterworks features, the bath tub is more like a small pool"), the Viceroy Santa Monica ("The Viceroy combines classic old-Hollywood style with modern chic and sophistication"), and the Setai Miami ("After a soak, we hit the sack, although ‘sack’ seems a disrespectful term for our bed"). Look for incredibly detailed information like “best of” recommendations in terms of room selection and seating options in the hotel restaurants. The credit-card sized Membership card grants access to website perks like package deals and discounts, and the card’s included with purchase of the book.
