Hotel Intercontinental The O2, London

1 Waterview Dr, Greenwich Peninsula, London SE10 0TW, United Kingdom (show on map)

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“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.

Telegraph review:

“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.”

Beautiful stay just a shame about the staff on reception.

Love the location and the hotel itself is beautiful. The rooms are gorgeous and clean and spacious with lovely, interesting views.

The staff on reception were not very friendly. One member of staff, female in particular who checked us in. We found her to be very short, unapproachable and everything we asked seemed like a hassle. It wasn’t a great interaction. We consider ourselves smiley, positive and happy people so I don’t believe it was us. Also, our breakfast was missing items and when we mentioned this, the member of staff didn’t really seem to care. We paid regardless.

My perfect hotel stay !

The room so comfortable and the staff were friendly and so very helpful . I wouldn't hesitate to do a return visit ,my friend and I were sad to leave and the staff made this trip unforgettable. I can't say enough good things about the whole experience .

The room was so comfortable and the facilities were of a high quality and you had everything you needed and if it wasn't in your room ,you could contact the front desk and they would do everything they could to make your request come to fruition. The hotel as a whole was superb, as the distance to the O2 was second to none . I can honestly say it is the best hotel experience I've had .

Perfect for visiting the O2

Clean comfortable room with double aspect windows looking out over the river and the O2 arena. Breakfast was excellent with a good selection of food. The hotel is ideal for visiting the O2 with a link between the hotel and the arena.

The only slight issue was one of the teacups was very badly cracked which meant hot liquid poured out of the bottom of the cup.

Handy for the 02 arena

The location was fantastic for a show we were going to see at the 02 arena. Stayed in a twin room, beds were so comfy!! Bathroom was a good size. Lovely views from our window. Lots of little extras in the room.

Unfortunately the dressing table wasnt clean, loose electric socket. Hole in the bedding. Tv wasnt working. For a 5 star hotel is was rather disappointing

Premium stay close to O2

Excellent premium feel, close to O2 arena. Quiet and peaceful room allocation on request. Wonderful bathroom.

Pillows are not adequate for spinal pain. Far too soft and lacking support. TV has no screen connection to phone but good selection of channels including German, French & Polish.

Intercontinental London O2 Arena.

Everything was perfect, the staff, the rooms and the fact that you can walk directly into the O2 Arena via a dedicated entrance from the hotel lobby. Thank you Intercontinental London O2 Arena for a wonderful stay.

There was absolutely nothing to not like about the hotel.

Very good

Great views and staff

The toilet seal didn't close properly after flushing and was constantly trickling in room 304, also the bath attachment for the plug didn't work properly and comes off in your hand. Apart from that, everything else was amazing. We only stayed for the night so no point reporting it at the time as we were busy.

Great location, staff, comfy bed and room

The staff upon welcome were amazing. Checked us in early and allowed us a late check out. The room was spacious and the bed was comfortable. The shower was great too and the amenities. The location is great for direct access to the O2 and is right near the Tube. It has a spa too and wonderful skybar

The aircon didn’t work in my room
