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.

Striking design and high level service throughout the stay. Rooms were spacious and the views over the city and harbor were unforgettable.

The Silo Hotel is one of the nicest hotels we have stayed at it is located right on the Victoria water front with beautiful views-the hotel is on top of an excellent museum which you do not want to miss. The rooms are so spacious and decorated with original art work. Beautiful art work is also displayed all around the public areas. The beds are very comfortable with use of top linen sheets. The staff provides over the top service- we stayed there for two visits in December- we were able to store our luggage while on a safari. What ever they could do to make out stay wonderful was done- they even provided us toothbrushes and paste when the airline lost our luggage- to help us out while waiting for luggage delivery the next day- they helped us staying in touch with the airline to track our luggage . We dined at the great restaurant for all the nights of our stay- the food, views and cuisine was excellent. I will also say the breakfast included with your room stay was outstanding. All the staff is wonderful- we did have a warm welcome and a tour of the hotel by Shingal Mt who went out of his way to make us feel at home. We wish we had stayed at the Silo a few more days- and if we make it back to Cape Town this is our choice of hotel.

Can’t say enough about ALL STAFF that work at this fine hotel. They were all very attentive and pleasant during our interactions. Our room blew us away, truly a unique and beautiful experience. We had a spectacular panoramic view of Table Mountain. The rooms are very unique, with high ceilings, and lots of floor to ceiling windows. The room was very well appointed, and the bed was comfortable.

Here you go — polished, natural, and still warm 👍 Review: My wife and I stayed for three nights and found the location to be perfect, with easy access to local attractions and restaurants. The staff were incredibly friendly and genuinely couldn’t do enough to make our stay comfortable. The rooms were spotless, very comfortable, and offered great views. The food was excellent throughout our stay, and overall the experience exceeded our expectations. We wouldn’t hesitate to stay at this hotel again and would happily recommend it to others.
