This year's annual edition of The Design Hotels™ Book comes with 220 unique and inspiring hotels worldwide featuring 21 new member hotels and including new destinations like Sydney, Bogota, Portobelo and Nairobi. In a world where the shift of rural to urban is changing the way we live and interact, it is the neighborhood that adds color, flavor and that much-needed personal connection.

With the new book, readers can explore the gateways to some of the most creative neighborhoods around the world - Design Hotels™' member properties. Whether it's the little street of old-time weavers or an area where a new generation of "urban artists" express themselves on walls, furniture and whatever else they can find, each locality is unique and each one tells a special story of where you are.
