Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel

On the Thames at Canary Wharf, a sleek luxury hotel that pairs boardroom polish with riverside swagger. Steps from Canary Wharf’s shops and towers, you’re minutes by car from One Canada Square and a short ride to the Tower of London, ExCeL and Sky Garden. Family-friendly and perfectly placed for business or sightseeing, London City Airport is the closest airport.

142 modern, spacious rooms and suites set on the historic West India Quay deliver style with purpose. Expect pillowtop beds with Egyptian cotton, Smart TVs and minibars, plus deep soaking bathtubs and separate showers in private bathrooms. Rooms are designed to let you work and relax — think in-room entertainment, iPod docks and clever layouts with city or river views.

Pamper yourself at the spa with massages, facials and body treatments, or hit the health club, indoor pool and hot tub. Tennis courts, concierge services, babysitting (surcharge) and a show-stopping ballroom for weddings and events round out the offerings. Note: some facilities close seasonally each year (for example around Dec 25–26). Wake up to river-breeze mornings and unwind on the open-air terrace.

24-hour business centre, express check-in/out and meeting rooms with about 5,931 sq ft of event space. Reliable wireless internet throughout makes working on the go straightforward.

Ground-floor Quadrato Lounge and Bar spills onto an open-air terrace and serves local flavours with a garden view. Bar and lounge drinks, 24-hour room service and cooked English breakfasts (weekday and weekend service hours apply for a fee) keep mornings and evenings simple.
