The Silo – Cape Town

 

Travel + Leisure named The Silo Hotel No. 57 on its list of the best 100 hotels in the world.  The hotel opened in March 2017 at Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront, a popular tourist destination with attractions as well as several high-end hotels and restaurants all situated along the marina.

The Waterfront is the most visited destination in South Africa and sees around 24 million visitors every year.

The boutique hotel features just 28 suites, each uniquely decorated with chandeliers and sitting areas.

The hotel rooms tend to feature more vertical space than floor space because of the building’s structure. 

The hotel was developed by The Royal Portfolio hotel group and shares its building with the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa.  While the museum is located in what used to be grain silos, the hotel was built in the former elevator tower.

Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa Cape Town, South Africa - Museum Review | Condé Nast Traveler

The grain silo was functional from 1924 through 2001 and played an important role in South Africa’s involvement in international trade.

The main design feature of each suite is the 18-foot-tall pillowing window structure that allows guests to immerse themselves in the views. Above here is part of the Penthouse Suite.

Family and Superior suites both have two floors, which cuts the windows in half.  Along with spa-quality bathrooms in every suite, there is both a full-service spa and a gym in the lower levels of the hotel. The spa includes five treatment rooms, an area dedicated to manicures and pedicures, and a sauna.  The gym area consists of free weights, and machines like treadmills and ellipticals. Windows in the gym face Table Mountain.

 Travel + Leisure calls it “one of the most enviable hotel bathtub setups in the southern hemisphere.”

          In-suite bathrooms feature soaking tubs, plush lounge chairs, spa products like bubble bath liquid and salts, a stand-up shower.

The Silo Hotel has over 300 pieces of contemporary African art. The owners, the Biden Family,  have carefully curated the collection in collaboration with a number of local art galleries.

The Silo Hotel’s Art Concierge offers wonderful tailored art tours that allow guests the opportunity to learn about the incredible African art scene and visit the Zeitz MOCAA below.

Other things to do at The Silo Hotel are relaxing at the spa, take afternoon tea, quaff champagne at The Willaston Bar, swim in the rooftop pool or dine at The Granary Café.

  Sip a cocktail or Gin & Tonic at the cozy Willaston Bar

 The rooftop pool has amazing views and offers 360 views around Cape Town from the pool and bar area
