Ace Hotel Palm , Springs
A city in the desert just off the San Andreas fault, Palm Springs is one of those places that fights against nature. It has unique mid-century architecture, including this beautifully conceived hotel fashioned out of a motel. It oozes style. acehotel.com
Bubby's , New York
This small 100-seater eaterie in Tribeca looks as if it's been there for ever. It's open all day and night and has a small menu, but it's a good one - what they call 'American table'. You can't book. bubbys.com
Langar Hall , Nottinghamshire
This isn't your usual corporate country-house hotel but a very English, and unconventional, dotty fun-house. Cocktails in the garden while watching the sun go down is a treat. langarhall.com
