This book was announced already in 2007.
Haagsche Suites was considered, but alas didn’t make the cut.
Times Online picked it up: Among the 10 Coolest mentioned by Bill Tikos, Cool Hunter’s editor, in The Times are:

I like Vigilius’ adobe walls.
Amsterdam based FG Stijl (the F comes from Finegan and the G from Glintmeijer) did the Do und Co interior. Congratulations for them making the cut.
Seriously, where do I sign up for a job like that? I wanna be a cool hunter, too!
I believe The Cool Hunter is still a one man show….
We recently stayed at Vigilius and it’s gorgeous (mostly made of wood actually) a true eco-friendly hotel.
I won’t be buying the Cool Hunting books though… I understand that there are a few of them on the team, but from what I can gather all they seem to do is go through press releases. I don’t believe they’ve ever stayed at the hotels they feature – there are always lots of odd mistakes and strange ‘observations’. I shouldn’t judge until I read the book, though, should I?
There is an Amazon package deal for this one together with the Design Hotels 2008 yearbook
