“Daddy Long Legs Art Hotel hits a sweet spot; it's right on Long Street, so you're in the thick of Cape Town's nightlife, yet the uniquely designed, art-centric rooms offer a quiet escape. I appreciated the free drink on arrival and the morning coffee, felt like a genuine welcome. It's a place that fosters community-more like staying in a curated exhibition than a standard hotel.”
