There’s nothing ordinary about going all the way to the United States of America to source seven vintage Airstream trailers and then hauling them back across the Atlantic and hoisting them onto the roof of an urban hotel. Then again, there’s nothing ordinary about the Three Cities Grand Daddy Hotel.
Take the Three Cities Grand Daddy Hotel’s vintage elevator to our rooftop location in famous Long Street and soak in the alluring outline of Table Mountain as reflected in the polished aluminium of the American Dream.
The seven trailers were designed according to fantastical themes, revamped by seven local creatives and parked in a neat garden, complete with US Postal Service mailboxes.
Airstream trailers are incredible works of craftsmanship and their classic shape is unforgettable.
The Three Cities Grand Daddy Hotel likes to take things up a notch and our Airstream Rooftop Trailer Park is no exception. Long Street’s boisterous energy, relentless sense of humour and creative drive have been harnessed to conjure up the most unique – and creatively fun – experience you are likely to find anywhere in the city.
We’ve reeled in top local creative spirits to do the interior design of these over-the-top, tongue-in-cheek and always-surprising capsules of glee.
Dorothy by Sarah Pratt
Sarah Pratt, a fine artist and lecturer at Michaelis School of Fine Art, is responsible for the trendy Dorothy Airstream.
Sarah has reinvented the airstream with a duck-egg blue foundation colour and covered every inch with white polka dots. Some of the dots are three-dimensional and hinged to contain mini-exhibition items inside. The mini-exhibitions are changed every three months.
Afro-Funk by Carla Soudien
The trailer’s earthy colours set the tone for an African experience – minus the wildlife. Carla was inspired by the street fashion of Cape Town, which is represented in her careful attention to texture. Afro-Funk is chic, streamlined, comfortable and proudly South African.
The Ballad of John & Yoko, by Tamsin Relly, Cara Rosa and Chloe Townsend
With the bed taking up three-quarters of the trailer, the design invites relaxation and celebrates the peace and love that John Lennon and Yoko Ono so believed in. Guests have the opportunity to spread their messages of love and peace on the trailer’s creativity board and, if so inspired, they can pick up a musical instrument to add on-board acoustics.
Earthcote Moontides Airstream, by Susan Woodley and Brigitte Dewberry
Freeworld’s Earthcote Paints collaborated with the Grand Daddy on the Airstream Rooftop Trailer Park project, supplying edgy coatings and working in close association with project developer Jody Aufrichtig and his team of artists. “This is kind of like a place where love and magic collide, giving visitors a subliminal feeling of the strands and layers that connect us,” says Brigitte.
Love of Lace, by Tracy Lynch
Tracy’s signature colour pink provides a feminine appeal and intriguing seclusion that says boudoir not bordello. Tracy invited iconic South African women to select heart-stoppingly beautiful lingerie, which has been decoratively framed for added effect. The Fabrics were sponsored by the Silk and Cotton Co.
Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, by Mark and Joe Stead
Use this Airstream as a mini-set in which to tell the much-loved bedtime story of a little blonde girl and some bears. This fantasy Airstream mirrors the times-three theme of the actual fairytale – a bear suit and Goldilocks outfit, tiny cups and saucers …
With its single bunk bed above the main bed, this trailer is appropriate for couples with a child under the age of eight.
Pleasantville, by Liam Mooney
Pleasantville’s interior was designed by Liam Mooney, creative director and designer of Whatiftheworld and creative director of the Airsteam Rooftop Trailer Park project.
The trailer is a utopian, 1950s-style heaven, incorporating a wide variety of period-piece finishes in mint green and cherry red, decorative wall ducks, and blue melamine.
