Cotton House Hotel, Barcelona: Cotton on to those good things in life

I'm standing at the top of a six-storey spiral staircase which is suspended from the ceiling by industrial-looking metal rods. My head spins as I stare down the shaft, blinking rapidly at the tiny square of floor below. Somewhere to my right, Alfredo, the hotel's general manager, is telling me that this staircase is the only one of its kind in Europe. The structure – though perfectly stable to walk on – actually hangs in the air, held only by thick, steel cord. It's all fairly remarkable, not to mention beautiful. I just wish I didn't feel so queasy.
