the silo, cape town

One of the most anticipated urban hotel openings of 2017, the Silo occupies an actual grain silo on the V&A waterfront. Reinvented by architect Thomas Heatherwood, the structure will house the muchbuzzed-about Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, which opens later this year on the lower floors, and a 28-room hotel on the upper levels. Designed by Liz Biden of South Africa’s Royal Portfolio (Royal Malewane, La Residence), the hotel (which opens in March) has a modern feel and arresting views from its bulging geometric windows. A rooftop pool, a lounge and a bar round out the pleasures.
