Sleep in a museum at… THE SILO, SOUTH AFRICA
Located in a former grain silo that towers over Cape Town’s famous V&A Waterfront, The Silo has 28 splendid rooms with huge handmade chandeliers, vibrantly-coloured silks and velvet, and unique artwork by young South African artists. Soak in the roll-top bath while admiring the panoramic view across to Table Mountain through enormous curved windows. Designed by the architect Thomas Heatherwick, the building also houses the new Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, tipped as the nation’s equivalent of the Tate Modern, which hotel guests can tour for free.
