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.”

High class hotel in an excellent location
Location, views
2 night stay, 3 times over this period we had the same A4 paper slid under the door with the exact same message. Every day x every room x 365 days of the year! Disappointing such a big chain isn’t doing more for the environment ☹️

Great as usual
Perfect location for the O2. Comfortable rooms with excellent facilities.
We chose to eat breakfast away from the hotel as have previously found it to be crowded and noisy with long queues. More tea, instant coffee and milk in the room would be nice.

Great room, amazing staff and fabulous breakfast.
Room was excellent bed was so comfortable and breakfast fantastic.
The pool was freezing there was no jacuzzi and no steam room. I have used spa previously and it was amazing. I booked for special break to include spa it was so disappointing. I understand equipment needs repairing but all at once.?

The convenience for us to the 02 Arena
The access to the clipper boats is a good 20 minute walk . Because there is no gate to get to the path you have to walk a long way round . Some type of security key could be put on the side gate so people staying with you don't have to walk all the way around the fence to get to the pier for the boats .

Great location
Lovely room with great views. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Excellent choices for breakfast. Brilliant location for access to the O2.
A bit picky but the pillows were far too soft. Needed to be much firmer.

Lovely hotel. Staff were friendly helpful and kind. Room had good view over the river and city. Room service good when we were not feeling like going down for breakfast.
I had a look in the mini bar out of curiosity to see what was in it. Didn’t have anything but because I moved things around we got charged for items we didn’t have.

i think breakfast was the most varied and best breakfast i have had anywhere at a hotel
a bit slow refunding £100 deposit...i think that should be done at checkout
20 December 2025
Apart from a mishap with reception about the payment not going and since finding out I did pay the hotel is amazing and
The easy access to the 02 was amazing and perfect for our visit to the see the Stereophonics
Can’t complain as it was perfect and the way access to the o2 and surrounding area.

Perfect location, very comfortable luxurious hotel.
Location was fab. Easy to get around the city from the nearby tube station. Loads of places to eat and drink in the O2 arena. Check in was easy, we arrived early but our room was ready and we were able to access this straight away. Reception staff were very helpful. Tasty and well cooked breakfast, pricey but well worth the money as the selection was extensive - can get busy but we avoided the busy periods. Having access from the hotel to the O2 arena was a big plus. Nice complimentary toiletries in the bathroom. We will defo return.
