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
Luxury With a View
An architectural icon offering breathtaking views of the city and ocean. The rooms are spacious, luxurious, and filled with natural light.

Nice place to eat but underwhelmed.
A beautiful hotel with wonderful decor and views. I had booked the Granary restaurant for a special birthday treat, hoping to have a pre diner sundowner drink at the roof top bar - but the couldn't accommodate us as it was over booked. Disappointing start. The foods good but I felt not great value for money as such great food is available everywhere in Cape Town. We found the starters restrictive and when I had an asked for a portion stater of a main (Pasta) it could be arranged but I would be charged full portion price. Any way we had a nice evening and the views were terrific.

Superb High Tea at the best hotel in Cape Town
We are multiple repeat guests at The Silo because, quite simply, it's the best hotel in Cape Town. However, The Silo High Tea (or Afternoon Tea) is one of their latest offerings that we have only now tried for the first time. The savoury and sweet food offerings are presented impeccably and are certainly as good as any to be found in a major international city. However, what sets The Silo offering apart is the authentic selection of African "teas" that are blended to match the food offering, all expertly eplained by the hotel team. For anyone seeking the luxury and relaxation of Afternoon Tea whilst taking in stunning views of Table Mountain and an "African twist", this must be the ultimate visitor experience.

Stunning Art
This is a fabulous hotel. The interiors are so eclectic and beautiful, with views over Cape Town, The docks or Table Mountain. The staff are fabulous, very helpful and thoughtful. The only quibble is the food never quite matches the standard of everything else.

Beautiful hotel
One of the most beautiful hotels I have ever seen. The rooms and common spaces were full of exquisite art and decor, and the views were gorgeous. The minibar included breakfast were incomparable. Would highly recommend this place.
