Smith Slips Between the Sheets in South-East Asia


Fix yourself a Singapore Sling and settle in for that characteristic Smith mix of wry humour and need-to-know detail with the release of Mr & Mrs Smith Hotel Collection: South-East Asia.

The seventh book in the bestselling series of hotel guides by intrepid style-hunters Mr & Mrs Smith, it's a coffee-table essential for the discerning traveller.

Mr & Mrs Smith Hotel Collection: South-East Asia is a carefully curated selection of the region's most gorgeous getaways ranging from beach hideaways in Thailand, Malaysia and Bali, to Indochine-chic retreats in Laos and Cambodia, and slick city bolt-holes in Singapore and Vietnam.

Expect witty reviews, seductive photography and 19 insightful destination guides to:

BANGKOK * BUKIT PENINSULA * CEBU & MACTAN ISLAND * CHIANG MAI

HANOI * HOI AN * HUA HIN * KEP * KHAO YAI * KOH SAMUI

LANGKAWI * LUANG PRABANG * NHA TRANG * PHANG NGA * PHUKET

SIEM REAP * SEMINYAK & TABANAN * SINGAPORE * UBUD

Each hand-picked property featured in the book has been visited anonymously by respected reviewers from an international talent pool of fashion, design, media and the arts - so you'll get the insider lowdown on every detail, from the best beaches to the most romantic rooms.

We dispatched some 30 Tastemakers (Smith super-sharp reviewers) to glean the nitty-gritty on each hotel and then report back to Smith HQ. Internationally renowned master of Thai cuisine David Thompson, respected restaurateur André Chiang, Singaporean fashion designer Jo Soh, and film-makers Tony Ayres and Krissada Sukosol Clapp all share their stories, alongside travel writers and musicians, every one of them inspired by the sights, sounds and smells of South-East Asia.

Perfectly partnered with evocative photography, Mr & Mrs Smith's honest and entertaining content brings you the kind of wisdom and wit you'd expect from a well-travelled friend.

The book also contains an exclusive membership card that gives guests life-enhancing extras at each hotel featured as well as special offers at Smith's worldwide collection of more than 700 hotels and luxe self-catering stays.

Typical treats for Mr & Mrs Smith members include a champagne breakfast or a spa treatment on the house.

So find your favourite, pick your partner and pack your bags!

Mr & Mrs Smith Hotel Collection: South-East Asia has an RRP $45 and is available from independent book stores nationally or from www.mrandmrsssmith.com, from November 2010.
