Forget about the crappy maps and dubious advices from the usual hotel directory folder, these five lifestyle hotels have created exclusive designer city guides and beautiful neighborhood maps, filled with great local tips. Leading the way of what hotels are meant to be: the best insiders of neighborhood life and nightlife.
