The Ultimate in Travel and Style

Jun 7, 2010

When it comes to guidebooks, whether it is to a city or to style, Assouline is unmatched in its ability to visually stimulate the senses and excite the mind.

Four new editions grace the shelves of Hirsleifer’s ETC, and we’re pleased to share these tomes with you.

The Luxury Collection Destination Guides is a passport to the prestigious Luxury Collection Hotels & Resorts in the form of a limited edition set of guidebooks.  The guidebooks unlock the charms of six destinations – Italy, Greece, Argentina, India, Spain and the United States.  The Luxury Collections’ world-renowned concierges act as your personal guide, offering an insider view of each locale’s most unique restaurants, boutiques and cultural sites.  To boot, each book features a passage and recipe from a celebrated chef, such as Mario Batali for Italy!

And when it comes to travel, nothing compares to the moment when, after arriving in a foreign city, the hotel room’s drapes are drawn back to reveal the magical world outside.  Conde Nast Traveler’s Room with a View column, featuring frame-worthy vistas from all over the world, has been whetting the appetites of armchair tourists for 20 years.  This compendium gathers the most breathtaking sights of all time, from Balinese beaches to African savannahs teeming with wildlife.

New York, of course, is a favorite destination among world travelers, and this photographic tour by Tama Janowitz presents a unique portrait of New York City that is at once modern, elegant and bold.

And finally, all these guides to travel cannot be complete without a guide to style, and Hitchcock Style is reflection on the elegance and sophistication that graced Sir Alfred Hitchcock’s extraordinary films.
