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.
