The Silo Hotel

The architect of this exciting new development at Cape Town's V&A Waterfront is renowned industrial designer Thomas Heatherwick who transformed the elevator house as well as the adjacent storage annexe of six rows, seven silos, while retaining its cultural significance and creating a building which is iconic to Cape Town's skyline.

From the outside, the greatest visible change to the building’s original structure is the addition of pillowed glazing panels, inserted into the geometry of the hotel floors, which bulge outward as if gently inflated. By night, this transforms the building into a glowing lantern or beacon in the harbour.

The Silo Hotel has a restaurant, bar, library, spa and a rooftop pool. It has 28 rooms, including a spectacular one bedroom penthouse. Each room is individually designed and decorated by the stylish wand of Liz Biden. Colourful and eclectic pieces will juxtapose the modern, industrial architecture.

The 7 room categories are based on the room size and the views. The rooms are more spacious vertically than horizontally due to the unique architecture of The Silo Hotel and in particular the ingenious design of the pillowed window bays which are one of the key architectural features.
