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.”

Very enjoyable
Breakfast in room was great, room service was very nice and the location is really close for the o2 arena
Paying service charge on top of tray charge is a little over the top.

Great stay for easy access to the O2 Dome
We attended the Kylie Minogue Concert at the O2 Dome, and this hotel is in excellent proximity for anything related to the O2 dome. The hotel and staff also went out of their way to make both an early check-in and a late check-out possible as we had travel arrangement changes and this really helped.

A perfect comfortable and welcoming place to stay whilst seeing Kylie at the O2.
I loved the suite that I had booked. Loads of space, great facilities and a view of the river.
Nothing could have been done better.

The property and room was nice and clean, and staff made me felt welcome on entry and through out my stay . I felt like a vip I would like to say thank you to akshata at front desk who fulfilled my request. She went beyond by escorting me to the room she said she wanted to make sure that I’m happy with it,exceptional service.

Everything you could need for a stay at The O2
Had to book as a last minute thing as out other booking was unresponsive with us. The staff were extremely welcoming, the rooms were very clean, very big. Both a bath and separated shower. Lots of mirrors, lots of lighting. Our room had a fantastic view seeing over the river and The O2. Slept well. Check our process was quick and easy. Hotel has it's own entrance to The O2 which made things so much better for going to and from the concert that night.
There were some plug sockets that didn't seem to actually fit standard uk plugs. Check in process was longer than usual hotels I've been to but the staff were nice so it wasn't too much if a bother.

overall did the trick to support me in my concert going venture
proximity to O2 cannot be beat of course. large room, lovely dining area for breakfast and tasty food. convenient stay.
value is not quite there, i felt. i was surprised this is a five star hotel. my mattress was gross and extremely old, looked like it hadn’t been replaced years. there was a massive stain on one side, so i slept on the other uncomfortably. normally an older hotel doesn’t bother me, but you could see it and feel it with this one.

Great hotel with very friendly staff. Very comfortable and clean room with good views. Nice to have a drink in the hotel bar on the 18th floor.
A little on the pricey side.

Always enjoy staying here.
Fast and friendly check-in. Our room was upgraded as it was our anniversary. Great view overlooking the water. Received two complimentary cocktails. Excellent location for the 02.
We loved the breakfast but thought it was rather pricey at over £30 each. Drinks were also very expensive in the bars.

Great value for money.
Hotel was clean. Staff were extremely accommodating (I am a wheelchair user so have extra needs) Food was amazing (24 hour room service) View was stunning. Bed was huge.
Our room was only provided with one dressing gown and slippers even though there were 2 of us. Parking was £52 for one night.
