About the Hotel

38 Long Street, Cape Town, South Africa, 8001

Grand Daddy Boutique Hotel, a 4-star property in City Bowl defined by the mountains of Signal Hill, Lion's Head, Table Mountain and Devil's Peak, is home to the only designer Rooftop Airstream Trailer Park in the world. This heritage building has operated for over 120 years, offering an incredible range of unique experiences inspired by the vibrant Mother City and proudly Capetonian ethos.

Unique Trailer Accommodations

Seven authentic Airstream trailers collectively reflect a typically South African road trip, each featuring individual decor themes. The Cape Winelands Airstream easily accommodates parents traveling with a child, while all trailer suites include air conditioning, hot and cold running water, and private bathrooms with flushing toilets and showers.

Diverse Dining Options

Trailer 38, located on the ground level of The Grand Daddy Boutique Hotel, serves a mouthwatering on-the-go-gourmet menu with a sublime drinks selection. The menu includes All Day Breakfasts, gourmet sandwiches, wraps, classic burgers, steaks, and vegetarian options.

Rooftop Entertainment Experiences

Guests can watch their favorite movie surrounded by gleaming vintage Airstream Trailers under the stars. Daddy Cool Bar and the Sky Bar offer a variety of cocktails and local wines, while the rooftop provides a unique sundowner experience with Table Mountain views.

Central City Location

The nearby MyCiti bus stop connects guests to most of the city's top attractions. The friendly staff provide tips on what to do and see in the area, while Kiff Kombi Tours promise to take visitors on an alternative exploration of the city's world-renowned attractions and secret gems.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were a bit disappointing in terms of cleanliness and size, not exactly as shown in the pictures, but they were still nicely decorated and offered a comfortable stay. The service was average, with some friendly staff but lacking in overall friendliness. The location was superb, with everything I needed within walking distance, making it convenient for exploring. The dining experience was good overall, with a nice variety, though I had to ask for a menu. The facilities were adequate during my stay.
