Monocle

Issue 140

£11

Monocle's get-up-and-go February issue highlights 50 ways to hit play after 12-months of pauses. We sit down with the Greek PM to talk about kickstarting a national brand, do a little disaster planning in Helsinki and highlight the businesses to benchmark from Tokyo to Toronto. Readers can also count on a raft of recommendations, recipes, makers and shaker-uppers – and even an imagined Monocle kibbutz. It's time to press on.

The Monocle Guide to Hotels, Inns & Hideaways

£35

This is a handbook for anyone from holidaymakers to hoteliers. We jump up and down on a few choice beds, check out the start-ups breaking new ground and talk to the CEOs of the best and biggest groups. Don’t expect stuffy five-star finery – our selection errs on the side of the honest, charming, quirky and independent.
