Start off your 2011 on the road in the right mindset: follow the lead of legendary travel writer & publisher Tony Wheeler (co-founder of one of the publishers we represent, Lonely Planet, of course) and embrace your inner grouch!

2. Hidden powerpoints – I’ve paid a lot of money for this room, why do I have to crawl around under the furniture to plug in my laptop or phone charger?

3. Unstealable coathangers – I’ve never had an urge to steal hotel coathangers, but with these I can’t hang a shirt to drip dry from the shower rail.
