About The Silo Hotel
The Silo Hotel, part of The Royal Portfolio, fills the upper floors of the V&A Waterfront’s old grain silo, above the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa. Its windows bulge outwards like glass pillows; there is a rooftop with views to Table Mountain and Robben Island, The Granary Café, The Willaston Bar and The Silo Spa.
