Fodor's Expert Review Casa Camper Barcelona

A marriage between the Camper footwear empire and the (now defunct) Vinçon design store produced this 21st-century hotel halfway between La Rambla and the MACBA (Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art), with a focus on sustainability (think solar panels and water recycling). There's a free 24-hour snack bar in the lobby, and an honesty bar on the rooftop terrace. Rooms require a tolerance for splashy red accents; those on the garden side of the hotel all have separate sitting rooms across the corridor, complete with hammocks and sofa beds. The cocktail bar downstairs features British club–style deep leather armchairs and two billiard tables. The Dos Palillos restaurant next door is worth a visit for its experimental takes on Asian-fusion cuisine.
