It's not too often that you find something besides a bible and phone book in the nightstand drawer at your hotel, but until the late 90s every Hilton Hotel included the book Be My Guest, Conrad Hilton's autobiography.

Only 3,000 of the guides were printed, which are being given for FREE to guests at any of the Ace Hotels except for Palm Springs, for some reason as well as at chosen record stores in the same cities. Wondering where to find Kim Gorden in Seattle? You might want to check any of three favorite restaurants: Flying Fish, Wild Ginger and Kingfish Cafe.

And yes, we even got excited enough to put down our poolside go-to literature (Us Weekly, let's be real with each other here) when we heard about the sunshine-friendly <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/6/1/145115/1120/hotels/Hotel_Gansevoort_NYC_Offers_Sony_Reader_Digital_Books_By_the_Pool">Sony Readers offered by the Gansevoort</a>. But for some reason we're not quite as excited about the "EPIC Page-Turner" program that's being heavily touted by Miami's new (and highly-praised!) <A href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Epic+Hotel+and+Residences/local/1291">Epic Hotel and Residences</a>. Here's the deal: the hotel offers up Sony Digital Readers "on a complimentary basis to Club Level guests and those spending their day lounging at the hotels 16th floor pool deck."

Once a week, we will review a book about hotels whether it be fiction, non-fiction, historical, auto-biographical or even just a cool coffee table book with incredible photos. These could be the perfect books to kick back with while laying poolside, or while working the late-night shift at the front desk or while entertaining friends with your high-falutin' aspiring hotelier schemes.

Newest on the bookshelf is one from the recently re-branded <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2009/3/13/165755/833/hotels/Design_Hotels_is_Now_Design_Hotels_Made_by_Originals_">Design Hotels</a>; it is simply their "Yearbook," documenting 170 member hotels of their group in glossy style. Available in black or white, we're guessing to help best contrast other colorful hotel books out there, the Yearbook is a weighty 476 pages, ringing in at a similarly hefty price of 44 Euro ($58.80). To spare you the need of lugging one of these babies home from the bookstore, we'll let you in on a few of the eccentric properties featured: <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/The+Limes+Hotel,+Brisbane/local/1296">Limes Hotel</a> in Brisbane, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/New+Majestic+Hotel/local/571">New Majestic</a> in Singapore, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/Hotel+Azucar/ian/253330">Azucar</a> in Veracruz, <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/hotel-reviews/East/ian/221357">East Hotel</a> Hamburg, <a JetSetCD 2009-04-07T12:00:19-05:00 Search HotelChatter Search HotelChatter string http://www.hotelchatter.com/search/
