About the Hotel

The Silo Hotel is a magical space towering above the V&A Waterfront surrounded by the natural wonder of South Africa’s Mother City. The Silo Hotel has been built in the grain elevator portion of the historic grain silo complex and occupies the six floors above the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA). Zeitz MOCAA is a contemporary art museum that rivals the likes of the Tate Modern in London, MoMA in New York and Museo Nacional del Prado in Madrid. Zeitz MOCAA is a not-for-profit partnership between the V&A Waterfront and Jochen Zeitz, whose collection forms the Museum’s founding collection.

Reviews for The Silo

Views Worth Price!

TripAdvisor Traveler Review Rating Reviewed 2 weeks ago

Price is really steep for South Africa, but I guess the market is willing to best the price. For a more budget friendly option in the Waterfront I recommend the Queen Victoria Hotel. Thar being said, we really liked the hotel and location. Rooms and of course views are amazing. Service was good if not very polished. Location is great and having stayed at the Cspe Grace previously would pick the Silo just for the views. We enjoyed walking around the waterfront and visiting the Museum of Modern Art Africa attached to the hotel. Splurge for one of the nicer rooms and request preferred view if that matters to you.

The lifetime experience !!!

AMAZING !!! NO WORDS !!! WORTH EVERY PENNY!!! I was fighting with my greed and was very happy to win and to book Delux Superior corner room overlooking waterfront ! i did never paid so much for hotel room. But i understood from first step into my room that i will never regret about this choice. The reality is much more impressive than presented on booking.com. Around 6 meters ceiling ! Breathtaking views from all rooms and bathroom to port and sea. Great design ! A lot of complimentary snacks, wines, sweets, drinks... Hotel management thought carefully about any possible needs you may want. I did not want to leave room till end of my stay. With a small exception to swim in swimming pool on top of hotel which you can visit 24h .So, swimming alone at nigh under stars were unbeatable. The breakfast was piece of art as well. All hotel make impression that you stay in museum (not only the basemen with real museum of MOCAA ) I dont have wish to be back to Cape Town. But maybe i will do exception just for The Silo hotel to fulfill me with its incredible energy !!!!

They work as a team. Guests treated like Kings. Hotel tours given on arrival. They are friendly and you feel at home.

Its unique and surrounded by interesting places for tourists. At its roof top you can see the beauty of CT. Watch the sun set. Splush in the pool and find peace of mind. Each employee did his duties perfectly including helping with lagagges. Cleanliness.

Pricey but so worth it

Yes this is a pricy hotel but the attention to detail, service and the rooms are amazing. The rooftop bar and pool are wonderful and breakfast is a real treat. The bar at night has such great reflections it’s hard to capture. I would visit again and go for the Royal Suite again ❤️
