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.

Reviews for The Silo
The Best Views in Cape Town! Architectural Magic ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Silo Hotel is an absolute masterpiece of design and easily one of the most stunning buildings I have ever stepped into. We booked a spot at The Silo Rooftop for sunset drinks, and it completely blew us away. Being at the highest point of the V&A Waterfront gives you an uninterrupted, 360-degree panoramic view of Table Mountain, Lion's Head, and the entire harbor spread out below you. Lounging alfresco with a masterfully crafted cocktail while the golden hour light hits those iconic, bulging geometric glass windows is an unforgettable visual experience. The vibe is sophisticated, exclusive, and lively, and the service was completely immaculate from the moment we stepped into the elevator. A flawless 5-star bucket-list experience in the city!

Sunset suprise
This was an amazing experience! We went to the hotel for a high tea, a tea tasting, which in itself was some of the best food I have ever tried. Then our hostess took us up to the rooftop bar, where you have a 360-degree view of the Harbour and Cape Town. We were we had sundowners and watched the sun set over the Atlantic

The Royal Afternoon Tea Silo Hotel
I had high expectations for the Royal Afternoon Tea at The Silo Hotel, but unfortunately, it was a major disappointment. For a venue of this caliber, the experience felt unrefined and significantly overpriced. The food selection was incredibly repetitive. It felt like "gluten on gluten" with very little variety, creativity, or balance in flavors. They only offer 3–4 types of tea. The leaves are left to brew indefinitely, resulting in a bitter, over-steeped cup. There was no understanding of different tea varieties or the specific brewing times required for each. The cutlery felt overused If you are a tea lover or looking for a high-end gastronomic experience, skip this.

Breathtaking views
Absolutely beautiful hotel. The views from the rooftop pool, bar and restaurant are a wonder in and of themselves. Highly recommend. Myself and our entire party felt safe, relaxed and well taken care of at The Silo. Unlike other luxury hotels that rely on having been trendy at one point, The Silo maintains their property. Your 5 star experience doesn't dwindle with age. I appreciate that.
