Barcelona's Casa Camper opened in 2005, and it quickly became a cult classic, with a hip, no-nonsense attitude that echoes the ethos of its shoes.

24-Hour Room Service: Espléndido Hotel,Puerto de Sollér, Mallorca
Saturday, 26 July 2008
To appreciate fully the vintage charm of the Espléndido hotel, pull in on the antique wooden train that has trundled through the Tramuntana mountains from Palma to Puerto de Sóller since 1912. After plunging through 13 mountain tunnels, you emerge on the island's north-west coast at Sóller's natural harbour. Here, the Espléndido sits pride of place at the top of the bay, gazing down upon the sea with impassive 1950s grandeur. Its unadorned white exterior divulges little of what awaits inside: a modern-styled vintage seaside idyll.

• Andrew Grice: The Chancellor must consider tax hikes.
Despite the weight on his shoulders, the Chancellor remains remarkably calm.
• Howard Jacobson: The lesson of Hitler's deformity.
So Hitler actually did have only one ball. I call that a pity for history.
