Nestled in the heart of Cape Town, overlooking the dramatic coastline, The Silo’s location couldn’t be better if it tried. Directly above the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, it’s a destination hotel for art fanatics. Towering over the V&A Waterfront and the beach, the numerous floors make this hotel a photographer’s dream (it’s the tallest building in the harbor) as the rooftop plunge pool brags unbeatable views of Table Mountain and Signal Hill from an almost-heavenly perspective.

Sustainability

From their furnishings, artworks, and local suppliers, The Silo Hotel supports and empowers the community and local businesses. Elsewhere in the hotel, sustainable design - such as energy-saving lightbulbs and an air conditioning system that uses a central water sea cooling plant to reduce energy and water consumption - can be found at every turn.

Why we love it

Art within art, The Silo Hotel is a tantalizing experience of the senses. Celebrating architectural design and artistic flair, every element of this luxurious retreat is worthy of note. The pillowed, black-latticed windows are an artistic statement, and private balconies connected to every room mean you can enjoy the impeccable views inside and out.

Inspired by her travels, The Royal Portfolio’s Liz Biden has cultivated an eclectic feel inside, having carefully selected a mesmerizing collection of artwork from Africa’s most talented and emerging artists. With each piece, the space is brought to life with the addition of a new story of South Africa.
