Louis Vuitton is heading into summer with a new format for its long-running City Guide collection, introducing City Guide Resorts with dedicated editions for Bodrum, Marbella, Portofino and Taormina. Since launching the series in 1998, the House has approached travel guides with a mix of practicality and cultural perspective, and this latest release leans further into that idea with a more compact, illustrated format designed for warm-weather escapes.
Each destination is explored through contributors with close connections to the cities themselves. Sailor, chef and poet Fatih Baş guides readers through Bodrum, while gallerist Isolina Arbulu takes on Marbella. Architect, designer and journalist Clara Bona covers Portofino, with artist Alessandro Florio offering his perspective on Taormina. Alongside them, artists Blexbolex, Brice Postma Uzel, Aline Zalko and Audrey Spiry bring the destinations to life through original illustrations that capture both the landmarks and lesser-known corners of each location.
The guides feature a curated mix of hotels, restaurants, markets, museums, shops and local favourites, continuing Louis Vuitton’s approach to travel through an insider lens rather than a standard tourist checklist. Each 96-page edition comes in French and English, includes a set of destination-specific luggage tags, and measures 107 mm by 163 mm to make travel packing easier.
Louis Vuitton’s City Guide Resorts collection launches June 19, 2026, with each edition priced at 25 euros, approximately $40 CAD, in Louis Vuitton stores, online and at select bookstores and concept shops. Digital editions will also be available on the App Store for 5.99 euros, roughly $10 CAD, per destination.
