Cape Town – delivering art inspiration from the ground up

Get your heart racing at this luxury art hotel

The art of relaxation

Naturally, the best trips for travel-loving art obsessives are the ones that combine adventure with the chance to explore artistic interpretations from around the world – making The Silo in Cape Town, South Africa, an absolute must.

It's the art experience, 24/7, with tours of the eclectic African art scene, commissioned pieces in each hotel room and the lobby, and the chance to stroll around The Vault, Silo's own art gallery.

If you're looking for a contemporary art fix, The Silo is also located above the Zeitz Mocaa – the world's largest contemporary African art museum.
