"Small enough to fit in your pocket, big enough to change your life."

Luxe City Guides

"Stylish, brutally frank, and sometimes, frankly, brutal."

We bought one of these Luxe travel guides when we spent some time in LA and loved it. They are little pocket-sized guidebooks offering highly selective tidbits of info on the best restaurants, shops, spas, hotels, and more. We are huge fans and will definitely buy their guides when traveling to other cities.

WHO THEY ARE (from the website)

.

"For four years LUXE has quietly changed the face of travel guides, starting from scratch we re-thought the whole concept of why and how we all travel, of what we need when get there and most importantly what we don't. LUXE is now famous for its take no prisoners attitude, avoiding all the padding, photos, graphics and blah of other guides and getting straight to the meat. The result – ultra smart travel companions stacked with priceless information for the discerning and busy traveller.

In the notoriously fickle worlds of fashion, food and entertainment other guides are hopelessly out of date even by the time they reach the bookstore shelf. LUXE guides are not only updated each year, but come with online updates throughout the year. They’re always ahead so you’re always ahead. Saucy, sleek and slinky, the LUXE City Guides unique concertina format is easy to use, small and discreet enough to fit in your shirt pocket and packed with only the very latest and greatest that each destination has to offer. With LUXE you’re not a tourist, you’re a visitor. It’s a big difference."
