The Grand Daddy is a boutique hotel in Cape Town. A cool and artsy place to stay, the hotel's stand-out is its seven converted Airstream trailers each decorated by different designers. The main building is an equally attractive (but slightly more conventional!) Georgian townhouse, situated close to the historic Castle of Good Hope. If you're after Cape Town's top shopping and dining, the Victoria and Albert Waterfront is a short walk away.

The facilities

Facilities are relatively small in scale, but exceedingly well done. Most fun is the rooftop Pink Flamingo cinema - be sure to go for one of the weekly screenings of classic and cult films. The ultra-trendy Daddy Cool Bar is all cocktails and curly Georgian-inspired décor, while The Showroom Café serves an ever-changing menu of locally-sourced cuisine.

The rooms

Each of The Grand Daddy's 29 guestrooms is smart and contemporary, balancing clean-lined furniture with metallic fabrics and flock wallpaper finishes. All come complete with marble bathrooms and satellite TV. If you're after a truly memorable stay, check in to one of the seven uniquely-decorated Airstream trailers: the ultimate kitsche treat.
