The Silo is a unique ultra-modern structure which has been transformed from a former grain silo into a magnificent luxurious hotel with a dramatic futuristic feel. This industrial-style marvel of architecture and design is positioned above the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA), home to an ever-changing series of exhibitions, featuring some of Africa’s most talented artists. It's a brand new addition to Cape Town’s iconic skyline in a prime position on the lively V&A Waterfront, with astounding all-round views of the harbour, the City Bowl, and Table Mountain.

Twenty eight en-suite lavishly decorated rooms, including one spectacular rooftop penthouse suite, are located across the upper hotel levels, with staggering views of the city, harbour and Table Mountain. Each is individually decorated, and features original African artwork and elegant urban-inspired designer touches. The rooms vary in size, with plenty of vertical space and floor-to-ceiling pillowed glazing panels which have been cleverly designed to give the windows a slight balloon effect and a beacon-like glow at night.
The pure, unadulterated luxury of the enormous rooms. Every detail will make you feel like the King (or Queen) of the world.
Not all rooms have views of the city and mountains (the best vista in our opinion!) so make sure to request a southern facing one.
The bar and restaurant can get busy so expect to wait a few minutes for your pomegranate daiquiri at sundowner time.
