Design & Local Touches
Each Airstream trailer is styled by South African designers, like Beach House Living Studio and Frans Alexander Interiors. Rooms include smart TVs, keyless entry, and high-speed Wi-Fi. The staff provides neighborhood tips, and the rooftop has communal gardens with timber walkways. The hotel, operating for 120 years, emphasizes local craftsmanship in its decor.
“What stands out is the unique Airstream trailer park on the roof, a feature that elevates the experience beyond the ordinary. Its central City Bowl location places guests within easy reach of the V&A Waterfront, and the multiple dining options, including the Alice Restaurant, enrich any stay. This is a boutique hotel that actively promotes South African design, adding a layer of local authenticity to its urban setting.”
