About the Hotel
7.9Average Rating
The Silo Hotel occupies the upper floors of a restored grain elevator in Cape Town's V&A Waterfront, and the building alone is worth the visit. The striking glass façade — all bubble-shaped windows that bulge outward like something between industrial heritage and modern sculpture — makes it one of the most visually arresting buildings in a city that has no shortage of them. Inside, the rooms continue this commitment to the unexpected, with individually designed spaces that pull together bold artwork, rich textures, and carefully chosen furniture. Many rooms look out over Table Mountain or the harbor, and those views, framed by those distinctive curved windows, are genuinely hard to leave behind.
Below the hotel sits the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, and the cultural energy of that connection permeates the whole property. The rooftop pool is a particular highlight — heated year-round and positioned to take full advantage of the Cape Town skyline, it draws guests well beyond the warmer months. The spa offers a thoughtful menu of treatments, the fitness center is properly equipped rather than an afterthought, and the bar strikes exactly the right balance between sophisticated and relaxed, with a drinks list that leans into South African wines and spirits.
The location places you within easy walking distance of the V&A Waterfront's restaurants, the ferry terminal for Robben Island, and some of Cape Town's best independent shopping. The hotel offers an airport shuttle for the roughly 13-mile journey from Cape Town International, and the 24-hour front desk ensures arrivals at any hour feel looked after. Families are well accommodated, and with free WiFi throughout, the practical details are handled without fuss — leaving you free to focus on the considerable pleasures of being in one of the world's great cities.
