The Silo

The Silo Hotel  transforms a former grain silo into an urban sanctuary where floor-to-ceiling windows frame Table Mountain, art-filled suites redefine luxury, and bespoke experiences—from the heated rooftop  pool  to private art tours—immerse you in the city’s vibrant soul.

The Silo, Cape Town

Discover Ultra-Luxury Above the V&A Waterfront

Perched atop the historic grain-silo at Cape Town’s bustling Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, The Silo Hotel reimagines urban luxury with dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows framing Table Mountain, art-filled rooms that redefine luxury, and bespoke experiences—from the spa’s sauna to private art tours—immerse yourself in the city’s vibrant soul.

Location & Setting

Occupying six floors of the former grain silo, The Silo Hotel stands as a bold architectural landmark overlooking the harbor and Robben Island beyond.

Inside, light filters through windows, casting shifting patterns on polished concrete floors and curated contemporary art. Step outside and the Waterfront’s designer boutiques, world-class restaurants and yacht-dotted quayside await—yet behind the hotel’s bronze façade lies a tranquil refuge above the city’s vibrant energy.

Accommodation & Design

The Silo Hotel’s 28 individually styled rooms and suites (from colourful Silo Rooms to the 211 m² Penthouse) soar beneath 5½-metre pillowed-glass windows. In the Penthouse, a vast private terrace crowns your stay; elsewhere, deep soaking tubs frame postcard views of the harbour.

Every detail—from polished brass fittings to museum-grade gallery lighting—elevates your urban retreat into an immersive work of art.

Culinary & Hospitality

At The Silo Hotel, dining is both theatrical and intimate. Begin your morning at The Granary Café with freshly baked pastries, single-origin coffee and views through the pillowed glass windows.

For dinner, sip vintages under crystal chandeliers at the Willaston Bar, where charcoal-roasted Wagyu and line-caught fish headline a hyper-seasonal menu.
