So hip it hurts.

It's winter in Cape Town right now. Luckily, if you shack up at Daddy Long Legs, you don't even need to leave the warmth of your bed to see artwork from some of South Africa's creative geniuses. Since I love maps, my personal favorite is the "You Are Here" room (middle) designed by architect Andre Vorster. But I give an honorable mention to the "Photo Booth" room (right) designed by photog Antony Smyth. The rooms start at a dreamy $85/night -- but no matter how tasty these pics look, the vibe is geared more towards backpackers than boutique snobs. It's on busy Long Street in the city center, but if you can handle the noise (and the lack of TV), it's a fab deal in a unique hotel.
