Event information
Rising above the V&A Waterfront in the historic Grain Silo complex, The Silo Hotel by The Royal Portfolio pairs avant-garde architecture with sweeping views of Table Mountain, the working harbor, and city skyline. Heatherwick Studio’s celebrated redesign preserved the industrial heritage while adding multi-faceted “pillowed” glass windows that flood interiors with light and panoramic vistas.
Inside, bold, eclectic design mixes contemporary African art, bespoke furniture, and rich textures. Just below, Zeitz MOCAA houses the continent’s largest museum of contemporary African art, giving guests immediate access to world-class exhibitions. The Silo’s rooms and suites are individually styled, many featuring freestanding baths set to the views, with attentive, highly personalized service a hallmark of the property.
Dining at The Granary Café focuses on seasonal ingredients with refined plating, while The Willaston Bar offers classic and signature cocktails alongside a curated South African wine list. The rooftop draws visitors for its small but dramatic pool, sun deck, and a terrace where sundowners meet 360-degree scenery. A compact spa, gym, and concierge-led experiences round out the stay. Advance reservations are essential for dining and rooftop access due to limited capacity and strong demand.
