Silo District
A 1920s grain elevator turned architecture landmark with pillowed-glass windows.
Why it’s worth it
The building sits above Zeitz MOCAA and is known for its pillowed-glass windows, which frame the mountain, ocean and harbour. The official hotel page counts 56 of them, forged locally and hoisted by crane. As a public stop it is for seeing the exterior and the art museum below; hotel facilities are for guests.
