Daddy Long Legs: Part 1 & 2
Posted on 12. Oct, 2006 by Jonathan Cherry in Streetflava
We have written about Cape Town’s own world-famous funk hotel in Long Street before.
It was therefore high time that we got our As into G and headed down there to take some of our own shots of the place.
On Tuesday the hotel, along with top-posh Cape Town diner, Ginja – won an award from local House and Leisure magazine as being the best tourist options in SA.
If you’re not aware of what an art hotel is – briefly, its a new global trend in hotel branding where rooms are individually decorated and give personality. A good global example is the Fox Hotel in Copenhagen, Denmark.
Daddy Long Legs is just over a year old and is owned by two chartered accountants, Jody Aufrichtig and Nick Ferguson who are both still in their 30′s.
Together, they’ve slowly been buying up CBD properties and also own the newly launched Old Biscuit Factory in Woodstock.
Clearly they see major potential in the city and are injecting a new level of creativity into the projects they take on.
More about the owners here.
