Cape Town’s own art hotel
Posted on 02. Jun, 2006 by Cassandra in Uncategorized
Tracking the international trend of funky art hotels – we’ve discovered that there is one of these innovative little gems right here in Long street.
Called Daddy Long Legs (get it?) it’s a thirteen-room boutique hotel, which is like being
in an interactive art exhibition. Each room has been designed by an
artist, designer, musician, poet or photographer who has drawn
inspiration from Cape Town.
You can stay in the FreshlyGround room (pictured here) which is dedicated to the Cape Town band, or the Emergency Room (that should come in handy after a heavy night sampling Long Street’s finest). [via]
Cool stuff – at R390 per night it’s almost as good as the City Lodge – just more there.

I’ve never actually stayed in an “art hotel,” and have in fact just recently been hearing more and more about them. But I wanted to say that this particular hotel looks very cool, and much better than the dime-a-dozen rooms that I usually stay in. I’m going to keep places like this in mind for my future business trips and vacations! Thanks for the info.

Best art hotel I’ve ever stayed in was in Brussels, a short walk from the Grand Place you’ll find the Comfort Art Siru hotel, each of the 132 rooms has been designed and decorated by a different Belgian artist. Some really weird rooms in there!

Weird coincidence. Yesterday I met the boyfriend of the girl who sings lead for FreshlyGround.
Nice room. I guess that’s when you know you’ve made it: when your mere existence inspires the decor of trendy hotels! Wonder what a Cherryflava’d room would look like?

Probably pretty much like the Emergency Room.
