Rad new Extreme Hotel launches in Cape Town

Whilst I have a bit of a problem with the word "Extreme" (it's such a frickin nineties snowboardin twat kind of a word) I'm quite tickled by a story in The Weekend Argus on Cape Town's new Extreme Hotel. In an unlikely move dull-as-ditch water hotel chain Protea has created a hotel aimed at "extreme sports enthusiasts". There is a whole bunch of quirky features to keep even the shortest of Gen Y attention spans amused, such as a climbing wall on the outside of the building, a swimming pool that doubles as an aquarium for diners, shark cage style lifts and a smoking room with coffins for seats. Shame none of their promotional shots on their rather sparse website really captures any of this...
