Veggie Hotels is a Coffee Table Guidebook to the Best Vegan Hotels around the World

It’s hard not to love a travel and food book that includes page-sized photographs of beautiful places you can visit and delicious meals that you can eat. Especially if you are a vegetarian or vegan looking for that a special spot where you can be all that you can be without compromising your uniqueness. VEGGIE HOTELS is one of those books.

What is a veggie hotel? The answer a simple, it’s a place where vegetarians like to stay and resort. The luxury guidebook VEGGIE HOTELS is a collection of over 60 vegetarian, vegan, and vegan-friendly hotels and bed-and-breakfasts from all around the world. The hotels range from the United Kingdom to Peru, from Spain to India, from Croatia to do United States. Many profiles also include delicious recipes of a healthy and vegetarian nature, such as fennel in Apple Salad, Black Venere Rice with Carrot Aioli, and Vegan Nut Cutlets with Beet-Horseradish Carpaccio and Quinoa.

An example of hotel selections is the Essentis Ecohotel in Berlin, which is an entirely vegan hotel in the center of the city, and is the first organically-certified hotel in Berlin. The hotel’s restaurant is called Amaranth, and only serves organically-grown and created food.

If you’re looking for something a bit warmer, head down to the Mani-Sonnenlink in Greece. The hotel is considered an oasis built around feng shui principles, and is the first organically-certified hotel in Greece. The location offers both bungalows and apartments. The founders originally installed themselves in Greece to live the simple life of olive farmers, and to follow those daily rhythms and practices. Now, they own the globally-distributed prize-winning organic Mani Olive Oil family of products. The hotel follows that purity of spirit of the olive oil farmer, and is 100% Mediterranean in nature and appeal. The water at this boutique resort is deep blue and turquoise, and is where guests can get together for company, meditation, music, or privacy.

If this wets your appetite, there are plenty more veggie hotels to discover.

Tonino Lamborghini Debuts 3 New Watches in its Luxury Product Lineup

The Tonino Lamborghini company is celebrating their 40th anniversary. The company is known for a wide range of luxury products created with a beautiful Italian flare. Founded in 1981, Tonino Lamborghini has evolved into a luxurious lifestyle company that distributes their products around the world. They are known for their accessories such as sunglasses, smartphones, and of course, luxury watches. They also have restaurants, hotels, furniture, hospitality projects, and branded beverages that are distributed in 40 different countries.

Founder Tonino Lamborghini debuts a new line of watches during the Couture Show located at the Wynn in Vegas, and the new line is sure to dazzle the audience.

Says Tonino, “In 1981, I started up my new Tonino Lamborghini Style and Accessories company. At the time, I assisted my father in the family group, but I felt the need to do something exclusively of my own, different from the world of engines. I have always been interested in design and accessories, and I took inspiration from my engineering background.”

The three types of watches that are premiering are the Spyderleggero Chrono Automatic, the Spyder Chrono Watch, and the Cuscinetto Automatic. Each design has a striking and sleek look; perfect for a person who loves style and luxury. The watches certainly make a statement and are made to be extremely high quality.

 

Spyderleggero Chrono automatic

Like the Spyderleggero Skeleton, this watch incarnates the ambitious, determined, competing, and combative personality of the Italian Tonino Lamborghini bull brand. The Chrono version with day and date complications is the Tonino Lamborghini Swiss Watches 2019/2020 line model. It summarizes all the special features of the new branded timepieces: stylistic sophistication, bold design, manufacturing research, light materials, ergonomics, and performance. The minutes and hours dials recall the image of a sandglass, epitomizing the passage of time because – as Latins used to say – “Tempus fugit” (time flies).

 

Spyder Chrono Watch

The Spyder watch, developed in 2007 by the Centro Stile Tonino Lamborghini, was created as a homage to the shield that encloses the famous “Miura raging bull” in the brand’s logo. The latest version for the new collection features a dial with a double pattern: carbon fiber in the upper half and côte de Genève in the lower one. The deployant buckle is also personalized with the Tonino Lamborghini writing and a 3D version of the Bull, present in all the sports models. 

Cuscinetto automatic

Cuscinetto dates back to 1983 when Tonino Lamborghini created one of his first watch models taking inspiration from a mechanical element, the ball bearing (in Italian, cuscinetto). He created this model using a special bidirectional rotating bezel with a design recalling the machine element that constrains relative movement to the desired motion and reduces friction between moving parts. 38 years later it has been redesigned with the case in titanium with Torx® screws and four different colour variations, mounted a new movement, and inserted a branded deployant buckle.
