No sooner had I finished my post on their new Book (see my previous post), but a little bird tells me that DesignHotels.com will be re-launching in a matter of days.

A new site will go live on Monday presenting the brand in a new way, in line with their rebranding as the home of the originals.

More details to follow soon, but for now enjoy the last few days of their current site: www.DesignHotels.com.

Design Hotels Book 2009

It has been a while since I posted, so sorry if you missed me.  I have been working on a number of things, some of which will make their way on to this blog over the course of the next few months.

One thing I have not stopped doing though is hunting around for cool stuff….and what could be cooler than the latest Design Hotels Book.  Shipping from 16 March it is available from the Design Hotels website for the princely sum of €44.

Over the next few days we thoughts we would share a few tips assembled from the Metrotels.net team, so here is Part 1:
