The Silo Hotel – A Favorite for Families in Cape Town
About the Hotel
Unique Architecture & Views
The Silo Hotel sits atop the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa in Cape Town's V&A Waterfront. Its 56 pillowed-glass windows, locally forged and inspired by grain silos, frame panoramic views of Table Mountain and Table Bay. Rooms feature high ceilings, eclectic décor, and floor-to-ceiling windows.
On-Site Dining
The hotel's restaurant, led by Executive Chef Veronica Canha-Hibbert, serves contemporary cuisine with South African influences. Guests dine with sweeping views of Cape Town. Breakfast includes fresh, locally sourced ingredients.
Art & Culture Access
The hotel shares its building with the Zeitz MOCAA, Africa's largest contemporary art museum. Guests receive complimentary entry. Private tours with expert guides, like Michael Jacobs, offer deeper insights into Cape Town's art scene.
Prime Waterfront Location
The Silo Hotel is steps from the V&A Waterfront, with its shops, restaurants, and harbor activities. Key attractions like Greenmarket Square and the Cape Wheel are within a 15-minute walk. The Metro Station (Line 5) is nearby for easy transit.
Exclusive Experiences
Guests can book helicopter tours, private art walks, or adopt a penguin at the South African Coastal Bird Conservation Center. The rooftop pool offers uninterrupted views. The concierge arranges whale-watching trips and wine tours in the Cape Winelands.
