We’ve just launched iVIP Destination Guides, a collection of luxury City Guides. They handpick the very best hotels, restaurants, sights and hidden gems in cities including London, New York, Barcelona, Las Vegas, Sao Paolo, Amsterdam and Moscow, and feature only the places you MUST go (as recommended by the iVIP concierge).

iVIP Destination Guides are designed for the most discerning travellers.

Developed in association with John Paul Concierge, the guides benefit from ‘on the ground’ knowledge and insight, like hotel owners willing to lend you their pass to the yacht club. Each entry in the guides is the concierge’s pick of the bunch and includes detailed information along with gorgeous images.

The Destination Guides app is free and available on iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. Each City is £2.99 to unlock. The guides can be previewed before any purchase is made.

You can view and download the Destination Guides app in iTunes by clicking here.
