Time Out "Designed to cater for fun-loving adrenaline junkies (the 'climber' fixed to the wall outside should be a clue), the design gimmicks here add a fun element to one's overall experience." Full review

Lonely PlanetTop choice
"The Grand Daddy’s star attraction is its rooftop 'trailer park' of penthouse suites, made from seven vintage, artistically renovated Airstream trailers. The hotel's regular rooms are also stylish" Full review
