Design Hotel Book Sightings!
We are starting a new feature on Travel Diaries. Whenever we come across a real Design Hotels Book (or “vintage” Yearbook) in the wild, we will publish them here!
All submissions welcome. Simply send your image to J.Silverman@designhotels.com
To kick this feature off right, we are going to keep it a little old school as our first reported sighting comes courtesy of Leah Lee, who is a former E-marketing intern. Leah wrote in… “I went to the local bookstore in Bangkok during this summer vacation and found Design Hotels Yearbook 08 !! ”
