Hotel Intercontinental The O2, London
Expert reviews
“For riverside luxury, try the InterContinental London – The O2, which opened in Greenwich in 2015.”
Featured in New York Times’ 36 Hours in Southeast London.
“The hotel couldn’t get much closer to The O2. The domineering white curves of the dome, and much of the Canary Wharf skyline, can be seen from the hotel – head to the Eighteen Bar on the top floor for the best views.”

Amazing stay, missing it already
Was super clean, staff were amazing. The room was amazing, beds were so comfy and the bathroom had a speaker in the ceiling which you can connect your phone to. The spa was nice and clean and great facilities and the breakfast was lovely with so many options. Would definitely stay again.

Gorgeous hotel!
Love the location, especially if you are visiting the 02. Property was clean, the staff were lovely and the view from the room was amazing.
You have to give over a £100 deposit for the room and it’s given back within 5 working days. Maybe a turn around of 24 or 48 hours would be better

Comfortable, 10*, friendly, but expensive parking.
Everything was 10* the only thing I was not impressed with was the price of parking is disgusting and definitely needs looking at.
Everything about the hotel was amazing, staff couldn’t do enough for you, food was perfect. Hotel was just perfect.

Fabulous! Amazing My daughter and I love this Hotel Breakast is wonderful!!!
5th year of staying here ! Always Amazing We always ask for rooms with a view over the Thames coming up from a 9 hr drive from Rainy Cornwall The rooms are lovely and spacious and a king bed Bedding this time was not as usual We had flat pillows and our duvet seemed as it was on its last legs But we didn’t really wanto complain Staff are so lovely and helpful Food is delicious Nothing bad about this hotel One thing we hate as I have a blue badge is not getting parking near to hotel This time parked outside at 02 for 3 nights Disabled people who arrive by car should be allowed to park on car park by hotel but know they don’t own it Be back same time next year A fab weekend in an Amazing HOTEL!!!!!
Not being able to park or book a disabled spot On the nearby car park After 9 hrs drive I had my stick case and weekend bag It took 17 mins to walk over which is not good for a disabled person who is also a pensioner Nothing else to say we love this hotel

Everything was perfect

Immaculate place to stay. The price was worth the experience and the staff are very friendly and attentive. Myself an
Very well managed and well kept. The O2 link was a massive help and the fact that the hotel is literally next to the main complex was a huge bonus.
I can’t say there was anything I didn’t like!

Perfect location for events at the O2
We stayed at this hotel because we was attending a concert at the O2 and this is the perfect location. It has its own entrance to the O2 which made things a lot easier.
The pillows in the room are very soft even using 3 pillows it was uncomfortable. Need firmer pillows.

So close to the 02, amazing super comfy room with fabulous views!
Room was amazing with great views and all the facilities you would need. Very friendly staff.
The sky bar glass collection staff came past our table so often and tried to take glasses that still had drinks, ruined the relaxed vibe a little but bar staff super friendly.

The whole of the staff treated us as if we were the only guests. So very polite and helpful. Reception staff, domestic s
So clean and tidy. Bed was very comfortable. Best nights sleep in a long time. The view from the window was impressive at night I thought. It’s only Greenwich, but it looked good. It was mainly waste land when I lived there back in the 70’s and 80’s. Old Greenwich gas works! Looks good now.
Nothing not to like…just a little issue with the shower door not sealing…but that’s minor.
