The Silo Hotel, Cape Town
More photosExpert reviews
“The Silo pretty well defines the adage, ‘Location, location, location’. You have to be up for some bold décor choices, but the location and views couldn’t be better and having access to the hottest museum on the continent is pretty cool.”
Featured in CN Traveler’s 2018 Hot List
“Towering above Cape Town’s Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, The Silo Hotel is an artistic escape filled with a quirky, contemporary style and breathtaking panoramic views.”
“With a façade remodelled by celebrated British designer Thomas Heatherwick, industrial concrete architecture offset by plush eclectic décor, and an unparalleled vantage point on top of the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, The Silo is truly a destination hotel.”

Not good value for money. Go to Ellerman house which is exceptional
Fantastic location
Service at breakfast was very good but dinner the food and service at dinner were awful The food was way below what should be expected at a 5 star hotel and we were left serving our own wine as the waiter couldn’t be bothered. Every staff member we spoke to at dinner said they were tired. No attempt at delivering good service.

I wouldn’t recommend anyone to come stay with you with that furniture and carpet
You need to change all the furniture and the carpets…The bathroom ottoman too …I would suggest getting furniture from Griffiths & Griffiths then the charge per night would make sense.You have a great location but you are not providing luxury at all !You can’t even compare to One and Only but you are charging more than them

Exceptional on all fronts
I can't say enough great things about The Silo. I had read all the rave reviews about the architecture, the service, the rooftop pool/bar before booking my stay... the last night of a milestone mother/daughter birthday trip. It was a splurge, but it was a special occasion so I booked us the Duplex Suite. I had noted the birthdays on my reservation and when we arrived we were given such a warm welcome by the staff and they said they had a birthday surprise for us (we thought it was early check in since we arrived a few hours early).
We were given a tour of the hotel's common spaces (all perfectly decorated with curated pieces and local art) along with a glass of champagne but weren't prepared for our last surprise when we were walked down the hall and escorted to our upgraded room... the Royal Suite. This was easily the most luxurious of accommodations we had ever stayed in. Two beautiful rooms, two beautiful bathrooms, the interior design details, a bottle of champagne chilling and a birthday treat -- every detail was perfect.
Management went above and beyond throughout our entire stay and truly made the last day of our birthday trip so special and unforgettable. If you find yourself in Cape Town don't pass up the opportunity to stay at The Silo.
The rooms were so nice we hardly wanted to leave them.

everything was truly exceptional, but at that price point a late checkout should be a standing possibility, not talking

Amazing staff, amazing location close to shops activities and everything. Luxurious hotel room
I think if you just enter the hotel room you don’t want to leave. That’s how amazing it is. The interior design is exceptional and extremely breathtaking

We’re so grateful to the management and the staff, and I would highly recommend it to anyone for a memorable stay.
The Hotel is one of its kind in terms of exterior design and interior finishing, also it has a great location and amazing staff.
it was our honeymoon, so they upgraded our room and they were so generous for suite setups.
