The Silo Hotel
Overview
A celebration of art, architecture, style and design.
The Silo Hotel is a grand display of architectural ingenuity and creativity. Built in the old grain elevator of the historic 93-year-old grain silo complex, the hotel’s façade is a striking feature. The original building has been transformed with the addition of multi-faceted glass windows, inserted into the geometry of the towering structure, that turn the hotel into a glowing beacon at night.
This celebration of design and creative genius is a theme at The Silo which occupies the six floors above the largest museum of African art in the world – the Zeitz MOCAA (Museum of Contemporary African Art). This 6,000 square meter exhibition space features rotating, temporary exhibitions with a dedicated space for the permanent collection.
The hotel stands tall over the vibey V&A Waterfront in the heart of the city with sweeping views of Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean that can be enjoyed from luxurious rooms or rooftop swimming pool. There are 28 rooms in total, ranging from standard to royal suites, with a spectacular penthouse as the cherry on top. This is timeless glamour and luxury of the highest standard.
Highlights
- Exceptional fine dining options
- Direct access to the Zeitz MOCAA
- Ideally located in the heart of the city in the V&A Waterfront
- Rooftop pool and champagne bar with sweeping views of Table Mountain
- Highest levels of personalized service, synonymous with The Royal Portfolio
