The Silo Hotel
Contemporary luxury in the Mother City
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience goes beyond how your surroundings look — how your visit makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in 1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star
These are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.
Four-Star
These are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.
Recommended
These are excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities.
Soon To Be Rated

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.
Housed in the harbor’s historic grain silo, the
innovatively transformed building (designed by Heatherwick Studio) does not give away much from the
exterior. Industrial minimalism is juxtaposed by floor-to-ceiling, prism-shaped
windows, hinting at the opulence that lies within.
Style and creativity are at the fore at The Silo. Perched
above the renowned Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, the luxury hotel
continues the celebration of design. Interiors curated by hotelier Liz Biden
are brilliantly stylish and colorful, each space taking you on a unique journey
inspired by her travels.
Upon return from a trip up Table Mountain Aerial Cableway
or a Winelands tour, retreat to the sanctity of The Silo Rooftop, where a feast
of oysters and local vino provides the ideal accompaniment to incredible
vistas.
