The South African Grand Daddy Hotel project, located in the center of Cape Town, features [seven customized Airstream trailers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gulf-stream-coach), which local artists have embellished with several design themes. The latest four-star accommodation is “Goldilocks and the Three Bears," and was created by Mark and Joe Stead, among others. Carrying the much-loved [fairy tale theme](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/storyliving-community) through, all the way down to the custom made furniture and porridge bowls, complete with ransom note, the space is certainly a [great escape](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/unique-stays-club) and most likely a fantasy come true for some. Check out the video to see it in all it’s glory!
