All the ingredients that make a 'Hip Hotel' - fantasy, originality, style, lo cation - are available at less than astronomical rates, if only you know where to look. No less surprising is that they are truly global in range. Urban or remote, historic or post-industrial, Sunset Boulevard or Australian outback: take y o u r p i c k. These are hotels creatd by enthusiasts, and it shows. They include an original canal house on the Keizersgracht in Amsterdam, a collection of thatched huts overlooking a black-sand beach in Bali, a palace in the heart of the Marrak es h me d in a, a nd a vast converted power plant in Hamburg, its massive machinery looming like sculpture over the interiors. You might choose to spend a week in an adobe mud village in Chile's Atacama Desert - or a weekend in Brighton at the new ul tr ahi p, re tro -po p Hotel Pelirocco. The variety is sensational..." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - clean and bright. NF
