The Silo Hotel, Capetown

per person

An awe-inspiring space, remodeled by celebrated British designer Thomas Heatherwick with a plush eclectic decor, towering above the V&A Waterfront surrounded by the natural wonder of South Africa’s Mother City, The Silo is truly a destination hotel.

With an easy access to the pedestrian pleasures of the Waterfront, this is just a few steps from the Robben Island ferry, a five-minute stroll to the V&A shopping mall and right above the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA), due to open in September 2017.

The interiors are an eclectic mix of Egyptian chandeliers, shimmering Persian carpets and bold color choices. Décor aside, the pillowed glass windows with their shape inspired by grain kernels and intended by Heatherwick to glow like lanterns above the harbor are the most interesting feature of the hotel.

The Silo Hotel has 28 rooms, including a spectacular one bedroom penthouse. Each room has been individually designed and decorated by the stylish wand of Liz Biden. Colorful and eclectic pieces juxtapose the modern, industrial architecture.

Bathrooms have the best views in the city, with the bathtub centered on another pillowed window, and an oblique view from the shower. All the rooms come with a TV, Nespresso machine, kettle/tea station, minibar, air-conditioning and Penhaligon’s toiletries.

TOUR LOCATION

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Riveting/Fascinating facts about the area:

Hanoi, which means ‘City of rivers’, has a venerable history in traditional cuisines with many surprising delicacies. The culinary scene sees an amalgamation of French, Chinese and Thai influences, with the famous snail noodle soup being a favourite that can be found everywhere.
Hanoi is a fantastic arts hub with a host of jazz clubs, and more interestingly, a water puppetry scene. The traditional art of water puppetry dates back to the 11th century, when it originated in the Red River Delta in Northern Vietnam, where musical puppet shows were used to tell stories on the rice paddies.

Interesting people:

Meet the artist, Dinh Q. Lê, who has exhibited fine works of art at Whitechapel Gallery, London; MoMa, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and dOCUMENTA(13) in Kassel. Born in Ha Tien, he escaped Vietnam at a very young age with his family, and migrated to the United States of America. His works, which include multimedia installations and photo-weavings, draw from personal history rooted in the evolution of Vietnam’s war, with significant political references. Today, he lives in Ho Chi Minh City, where he has – among other things – co-founded Sàn Art, a contemporary, non-profit art space.
