The Silo is a highly recognisable hotel for good reason: it soars above the V&A Waterfront, its base an old granary and its rooms defined by unusual faceted windows that look out over the harbour, Atlantic Ocean and Table Mountain.

Inside is similarly recognisable with a trademark riot of colour, patterns, art and objects. Rooms are individually decorated while The Willaston bar and Granary Café offer guests drinks and meals with exquisite vistas (there is also a large private dining room for celebrations). On the roof, the swimming pool gives you uninterrupted panoramas of both the sunrise and sunset while the spa has five serene treatment rooms. There are two family suites that sleep four and a penthouse perfect for honeymooners.
