New lodges and hotels regularly pop up in various parts of Africa – sometimes it’s difficult to keep up! But not to worry. We like to stay on top of of things and keep you informed and up to date! In this blog we look at five new lodges and hotels in South Africa and Namibia to look out for when planning your next trip.
1. Silo Hotel, Cape Town
The brand-spanking-new Silo Hotel has brought a new kind of luxury to the Mother City. And it’s not just the lavishness of the hotel or the towering views that stand out from the rest. Its distinctiveness also lies in its focus on art and culture. The ground floor of the Silo will become the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa, housing Africa’s largest collection of contemporary African art.
The Silo has been built in the grain elevator portion of the historic grain silo complex occupying six floors. By day, the most eye-catching feature is the multi-faceted glass windows that bulge outward as if slightly inflated. By night, this creates a glowing beacon in the Table Bay harbour.
The Silo Hotel consists of 28 rooms and a spectacular one bedroom penthouse. It will make you giddy it’s so gorgeous! Liz Biden’s stylish hand is behind the individually decorated and designed rooms.
Apart from ogling at the many beautiful facets of the hotel, guests can relax at the spa, take afternoon tea overlooking Table Mountain, guzzle champagne on the roof, swim in the rooftop pool or enjoy a guided tour of the museum.
