The Silo Hotel

The Silo Hotel sets a new standard for luxury Cape Town hotel accommodation. A magical hotel towering above the V&A Waterfront surrounded by the natural wonder of South Africa’s Mother City, The Silo is the ideal base from which to explore all that the city has to offer and is the perfect combination of art, style, architecture, design and contemporary luxury, all helping to create a truly unique experience.

The hotel has been built in the grain elevator portion of the historic grain silo complex occupying 6 floors above Zeitz MOCAA (Museum of Contemporary Art Africa). Zeitz MOCAA houses Africa’s largest collection of contemporary African art. From the outside, the greatest visible change to the building’s original structure is the addition of pillowed glazing panels, inserted into the geometry of the hotel floors which bulge outwards as if gently inflated. By night, this transforms the building into a glowing lantern or beacon in the harbour.

At the hotel itself, guests can relax at the spa, take afternoon tea overlooking Table Mountain, quaff champagne, swim in the rooftop pool, work off the city’s fine dining in the gym or enjoy a guided tour of the museum.

The hotel offers a wide range of dining experiences, with executive chef Veronica Canha-Hibbert and her team having crafted a number of casual and contemporary menus that include lunch, afternoon tea, dinner, bar snacks and a wonderful Sunday roast.

With stunning views of Cape Town through the 5.5m high pillowed glass windows on the 6th floor, the Willaston Bar is the perfect place to enjoy a classic cocktail or a glass of wine from the carefully crafted and ever evolving list of local and international wines.

The Silo has 28 rooms including a spectacular penthouse. Each room has been individually designed and decorated by the stylish wand of Liz Biden to combine the colourful and eclectic pieces of modern and industrial architecture.

The rooms are all en-suite with showers, baths and balconies offering spectacular views of Table Mountain, Lion’s Head and Signal Hill, the V&A Waterfront, Robben Island, Cape Town Harbor or the Atlantic Ocean. They also have air conditioning, a mini bar, safe, satellite/cable television and complimentary Wi-Fi. The rooms have more space vertically rather than horizontally due to the unique architecture and, in particular, the ingenious design of the pillowed window bays which are one of the key architectural features.

The penthouses (one bedroom and 2 bedrooms) are located on the top floor facing Table Mountain with triple aspect views of Cape Town and the harbour.
