On Mondays, from as early as August to as late as April, the Grand Daddy Hotel’s rooftop trailer park of Airstream caravans is the venue for this al-fresco cinema screening old-school movies such as Top Gun and Grease. The regular ticket gets you entry plus a bag of popcorn, a welcome drink and a blanket if it gets chilly. Booking online is essential.
