Edit: This post has gotten quite a bit on attention, so if you’re looking for more information about this “Wild Swing”, check out: Wild 5 Swing.

Their first hotel, located in Cape Town, South Africa, features 130 “hip and happening rooms”, a variety of lounging areas, a 5 story climbing wall on the outside of the building, and all of the action sports an adrenaline junkie could possible dream of. It’s definitely a unique take on the traditional hotel style, and one that will definitely appeal to its intended audience.
