The relationship is one of proximity only. The hotel and the museum are located within the historic grain silo building that was built in 1924. The Silo Hotel is in the grain elevator portion of the grain silo building occupying 6 floors above Zeitz MOCAA.
The hotel and the museum nevertheless enjoy a close relationship and guided tours of the museum can be arranged with the hotel concierge.
The exterior of the building and the inside of the museum has been designed by Thomas Heatherwick, Founder and Principal of the London-based Heatherwick Studio. Heatherwick Studio was tasked with the transformation of the elevator house and the adjacent storage annex of 6 rows of 7 silos, while carefully retaining its cultural significance and creating a building that would be synonymous with the Cape Town skyline.

Set on the edge of a historic working harbour and with the iconic Table Mountain as its backdrop, the V&A Waterfront offers local and international visitors a cosmopolitan mix of experiences.
Discover shops, restaurants, bars, hotels, cafes, galleries, exhibitions and entertainment, or embark on a visit to Robben Island. The prime positioning of the V&A Waterfront boasts sweeping views of the ocean, city bowl and mountain peaks.
Cape Town enjoys a Mediterranean-type climate. Summer runs from October until April when daytime temperatures are usually over 22°C / 71.6°F. The hotter months are December, January, and February when temperatures can reach above 30°C / 86°F.
June, July, and August are the winter months which bring milder temperatures and some winter rainfall.
