The Red Bull Suite

Hippo is proud to unveil the Red Bull Suite, a collaboration with the world's best selling energy drink and one of the hottest global brands. Given carte blanche to do what they wanted with the space, Red Bull brought in Cape Town agency Word of Art who conceptualised a room dedicated to the underground street cultures that Red Bull has supported for many years.
Artists Theory one, Faith47, Wesley Van Eedon, Maklone, Black Koki, 351073, Senyol, Elbow Grease, Toe007 and Warren Lewis created original artworks for the space.
The final result is a fresh urban take on the Red Bull lifestyle, and a hotel room that any hip urban dweller will feel right at home in (and with full views of the famous Table Mountain from the couch, any lover of nature will feel just as much at ease!).
