The Silo Hotel

The Silo Hotel stands majestically above the V&A Waterfront, offering stunning views of Cape Town, South Africa’s Mother City. This iconic hotel occupies the grain elevator section of the historic grain silo complex, spanning six floors above the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA), home to the largest collection of contemporary African art on the continent.

Champagne and carving trolleys roll through the Granary Café, and the spa is sumptuously serene. Grab a glass of pinotage to sip during sunset from the wraparound rooftop terrace.
