Intercontinental London - The O2, Riverview Suites

Excellent stay at the InterContinental London - The O2 with very spacious, bright rooms and large floor-to-ceiling windows, which is a rare find for London. The views of the River Thames and the Canary Wharf city skyline are absolutely beautiful. The hotel is located a bit far from central London, but the location is highly convenient. It is a very short walk to the North Greenwich tube station, where the fast Jubilee line gets you right to the city center quickly. Best of all, the hotel is located right next to The O2 dome and has a private indoor walkway that takes you directly inside the venue. The O2 is a massive indoor entertainment district with endless things to do right on your doorstep. Inside, you will find the famous O2 Arena, the Indigo live music club, a huge multi-screen cinema, a bowling alley, indoor skydiving, and interactive games. The dome also houses a large outlet shopping center with numerous brand stores and many different restaurants and cafes. You can even book an outdoor climbing tour over the roof called Up at The O2. Beyond the dome, exploring the wider Greenwich area is incredibly easy and highly recommended. Right outside the hotel, you can take the scenic cable car across the river or hop on the river bus from North Greenwich Pier. A short ride takes you to historic Greenwich, where you can visit the vibrant Greenwich Market, relax in the massive Greenwich Park, stand on the Prime Meridian line at the Royal Observatory, or explore the historic Cutty Sark sailing ship and the National Maritime Museum. Back at the hotel, the morning breakfast buffet is outstanding. They offer a huge variety of hot traditional English breakfast items, fresh fruit, and pastries in a beautiful, clean dining area that directly overlooks the river. The reservation and check-in process was very smooth. Keep in mind that the hotel is cashless, so you will need a credit card for a damage deposit upon arrival. The property is also very family-friendly, offering a dedicated children's pool and free stays for children. It is a perfect choice if you want large rooms, stunning views, and a mix of world-class entertainment and historic sights nearby.

Iv just had the most amazing weekend here with my friends. The hotel is lovely, the spa and swimming pool are so nice and extremely well looked after. I had an exceptionally good back massage with Ludimila who I highly recommend, this lovely lady knows what’s she’s doing :) Everywhere we went in the spa/pool area and changing rooms it was spotless and all of the ladies working there were so friendly and helpful. Our room was a great size, again spotless and the beds so comfy. The housekeeper whose name I didn’t get was a very lovely Spanish lady who entertained my very basic Spanish and couldn’t do enough for us. The rooftop bar was lovely with great views and the most amazing manager who made us cocktails off menu that were the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Breakfast was of such a high standard, so many amazing choices and everything top quality produce. The baristas did a great job making speciality coffees. We indulged in the afternoon tea at Kinaari restaurant and it was exquisite, I didn’t realise until we sat down that it is crafted by winners of bake of the professionals, the quality of the food was unbeatable and service again was faultless. In conclusion this is a great hotel, perfect if you just want a weekend away to stay in and relax/enjoy the facilities, from beginning to end all the staff couldn’t do enough for you, I was really impressed and will recommend to friends :)

Impeccable. Very short wait to check in at a very busy time (we were there for a series of gigs) lovely service from reception. Very high security, every inch of the place sparkling, extremely quiet considering the size of the place and how many people were there that night. Quite pricey (£32 for breakfast plus £5 tray charge if you have it delivered) but great for a weekend treat. Decent minibar. Found the toiletries à but plastic-y smelling but I’ve had worse. Shower has the option of a rainfall head or regular shower hose if that’s too intimidating, plus theres another attached to the bath! Watch the floor though - polished granite, so use the supplied mat and dry your feet well! Great view of the river. Very short walk from the Station or you can go in the main entrance to have a look at all the shops inside the dome.
