The Silo Hotel houses over 300 pieces of art by Africa’s most talented, emerging, and eminent contemporary artists. The collection is carefully curated in collaboration with a number of local South African art galleries. The waterfront area with the Silo Hotel and Zeitz Museum located underneath is an absolute gem that should not be missed when visiting Cape Town. From the jewel like hotel windows from where you have a mesmerising view over the harbour, the city or Table Mountain - to the hotel's interior, nothing disappoints.

The Silo Hotel has been built in the grain elevator portion of the historic grain silo complex occupying six floors above Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA) which houses Africa’s largest collection of contemporary African art. While the exterior structure boasts industrial-style geometric steel-and-glass, its interiors are an explosion of color, pattern, and art. The art has been specifically chosen to complement the unique interiors of each of the 28 rooms, offering individualized experiences for guests and many a reason to return. The Silo’s owner, Liz Biden, also chose to include a subterranean private art gallery—known as The Vault—in the basement of the hotel, which features bi-annual exhibitions. Designed to showcase both up-and-coming and established artists, the collection spotlights an incredible collection of contemporary African art.
