As someone who loves to travel (and shop along the way!) I've just had the pleasure of receiving a hotel guide like no other ~ **Mr & Mrs Smith Hotel Collection: European Cities****.** If you've ever had your stay ruined by a dodgy hotel where you've been met with dirty carpets, a musty smell and frayed bed sheets (haven't we all) then this is the guide for you. The authors of this must-have book have provided us with a definitive guide to the best boutique hotels across 17 of Europe's most fashionable cities, including my personal favourites London, Paris and Barcelona.

You'll find reviews from big names such as Stella McCartney alongside striking photography, making this the perfect coffee table book. I particularly like the insider tips on where to eat, drink and most importantly, shop at each destination. What makes the guide so unique is the membership card that comes along with it, which entitles you to special treatment at each of the featured hotels. Live the V.I.P lifestyle why don't you. Examples are champagne on arrival, room upgrades and wait for it...late check-out. Heaven.
