The Smiths’ Hotel Collection: Europe
Step aside, Brangelina. There’s a new act in town. Stylish, well travelled and expert at slipping away for romantic interludes, these Smiths feature reviews of European hotels by cool designers, club owners and restaurateurs. Writers travelled anonymously wit their partners — hence the Mr & Mrs Smith tag. So, reviewer-designer Stella McCartney lazed with her hubby in a canopied four-poster bed at JK Place, a sumptuous boutique hotel in Florence, Italy. The Smith guides also offer a memebership card with each book — a passe-partout to discounts, complimentary champagne and other goodies — and online booking at www.mrandmrssmith.com
