On Long Street, the hotel's a local landmark which promotes local design. Heritage touches remain, not least in the vintage elevator. There's a glimpse of Table Mountain from the rooftop bar during the day and by night the stars come out to sparkle by the truck load. It's a buzzing place with the bar, restaurant and rooftop open to all, not just guests.

Sit down, this is quite the list. And not the norm. 

7 Airstream trailers on the roof. All decorated  in different styles from the Karoo to the Gold Rush with animals and wine thrown in for good measure. Queen size bed, wet room with shower and WC. TV, aircon, bar, fridge. The trailers are right by the bar. Right. By. The. Bar. Expect a lively night and a great opportunity to nip out for a nightcap in your pjs.

The hotel has suites, luxury, superior and standard rooms.

2 suites - the Grand Daddy and the Sugar Daddy. Both have king size beds or twins. LCD TVs, lounge, marble bathroom, music system.
