The Silo Hotel
Architectural triumph inside a historic grain silo towering over the V&A Waterfront
About The Silo Hotel
Designed by Thomas Heatherwick, this world-renowned luxury hotel sits directly above the Zeitz MOCAA contemporary art museum, featuring dramatic faceted pillowed-glass windows.
Built within the grain elevator portion of the historic 1920s grain silo complex, The Silo is an extraordinary architectural achievement. Its signature bulging, geometric glass windows glow like lanterns at night across Table Bay. Each of the 28 rooms is individually curated with vibrant contemporary African art and bespoke chandeliers by Liz Biden. The rooftop pool and champagne bar offer 360-degree vistas taking in Table Mountain, Signal Hill, and the working harbour.
