The Times Spills On Cool and New European Hotels

This weekend's UK Times published a list of what it thinks are the coolest new hotels across Europe.

We're not sure how much faith we can put on this list, since it does include the Adam and Eve in Antalya, Turkey, home to the world's slowest and most stupid bar staff. It does, however, get a bit of credibility back by adding the Chedi Milan, which probably does warrant the label of one of Europe's coolest new hotels.

So we're thinking that perhaps the new-since-last-month Mystique on the paradise of Santorini, Greece, might also be okay:

Its 18 villas are carved into the cliff face, each overlooking the caldera, and every one flat-screened and hi-fi'd. There's locally quarried limestone on the floor, original art on the walls, cushions clad in antique textiles.

Yep, definitely cool. They also give a tip on the Hotel Fouquet's Barriere in Paris which we've already decided is cool, after it opened in November last year. Perhaps it's all a matter of opinion on what's cool, but we guess a list is at least a starting point.
