What could Philippe Starck possibly be on about now? He's talking to Tablet Hotels (www.tablethotels.com) about the inspiration behind his design for the Faena Hotel + Universe in Buenos Aires. The rest of the Starck interview is in the second installment of the Tablet Hotels book series: Tablet 10: Top Ten New Hotels, The Americas 2007 goes on sale today at www.tablethotels.com.

"This edition presents Tablet Hotels' picks for the most unique and innovative new hotels west of the Atlantic and east of the Pacific," says Laurent Vernhes, CEO of Tablet Hotels and editor of the Tablet 10 book series. "The book includes 250+ color photos, as well as interviews with some of the big names and some of the new players in the design and hospitality industries." Christian Liaigre, Andre Balazs, Philippe Starck and Carlos Couturier are just a few of the names included.

"The rules are the same for each book we publish. All of the hotels are newly built or newly renovated, and all bring something special to their location. Each hotel has its own personality and each followed its own complex course of evolution. This book is about the creative process and the visionaries behind the hotels," says Mr. Vernhes.

Stylistically the book's featured properties range from the understated, simple luxury of Le Sereno in St. Barths to the daring and often vulgar style of the Hotel Des Arts in San Francisco. Pictured in this edition, along with scenic shots of Mexican palm trees and the Napa wine country, you'll find mounted unicorn heads, oil-tank swimming pools, grown-up bunk beds, bedroom-wall graffiti of questionable taste, and one Brazilian beachside spaceship-hotel. "We had a lot of fun putting this book together, and I think it shows. We kept it informative and insightful but we also made a point of letting that sense of fun come through," concludes Mr. Vernhes.

Tablet 10: Top Ten New Hotels, The Americas 2007 is available exclusively at www.tablethotels.com. Hotels included are Le Sereno, Calistoga Ranch, Hotel Cocoon, Condesa df, Hotel Basico, Faena Hotel + Universe, Hotel Des Arts, The Standard Miami, Hotel QT, and Bobo Hotel.
