With a facade redesigned by the celebrated British designer Thomas Heatherwick, an industrial concrete shell enriched with distinguished eclectic décor, and an unrivalled vantage point overlooking the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, The Silo Hotel Cape Town is a truly singular hotel. The Silo is decorated with the inimitable style of magpie collector Liz Biden: an eclectic mix of furnishings, many made to her specifications, with buttoned Chesterfields beneath Egyptian chandeliers, shimmering Persian rugs and bold colours. It is a comfortable, opulent nest in which to unwind, yet right in the heart of Cape Town’s buzz. Beyond the décor, the most striking feature of The Silo is its glass windows — their grain-inspired forms designed by Heatherwick to glow like lanterns above the harbour.
