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.”

Location amazing. Lovely nights sleep. Would come back.
The location and comfortable beds.
No room service menu in room, couldn’t get anything to eat from the hotel after the show as the restaurants were closed. Room service was the only option but lack of menu in the room. Also in bar on level one, why are the windows frosted out because you can’t see when you are sat down. Such a view but then it’s hidden! Such a shame.

Superb - great hotels are great because of the staff - look after the team.
Great location - the market brasserie restaurant is one of the best kept secrets in London. All the staff at hotel and restaurant are amazing. Special thanks to hasibul one of the electricians from the maintenance team who helped with a trickle electrical problem.
Nothing - it is superb. Hot drinks at the river view bar on the evening would be good.

Great location for the 02, with direct access from the hotel. The room was very comfortable.
Nice room and very clean and comfortable. Fantastic location for the O2. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
I paid the £100 deposit when I checked in, however this will take approximately seven days to refund.

Always relaxing , my annual treat for C2C weekend.
Always an amazing stay . We were there for a concert Saturday evening and im back next week for C2C weekend . My nephew had a lot of music equipment which was stored until our room was ready and then delivered there. Great service thank you
We were only there one night . Room service tried our door twice Sunday morning while we were still asleep. ( we had had a very late night and forgot the do not disturb sign ) if we were leaving that morning, why try and clean before we check out ? Also my booking included breakfast but I was asked to pay for one ir charge room whilst in the dining room. Not wanting to question infront of the queue I signed . But reception did cancel it on check out .

We felt looked after from the moment we go there.
Clean. Friendly staff, fab facilities. An absolute must if seeing a show at the O2 - we were back in the hotel 15 mins later 😂❤️
2 March 2026
Great stay all in all
As a kind traveller to a concert at O2 arena it was close to venue and I felt safe there
The fact that currently I have been charged twice for the same nights stay. This hop will be rectified
2 March 2026
Great location and hotel just rather pricey
Perfect location. Staff accommodating and room spotlessly clean.
If I am completely honest there was nothing I didn’t like but personally think the price was high for a one night stay. Combined with the £100 holding fee on check in (refunded within a 2 week time frame) it makes for an expensive overnight stay

Excellent, our favourite hotel in London
First morning the breakfast could have been hotter, some items were cold, given that it was not very busy that day, it was understandable some items had got cold, the second morning was much busier, so items were replaced more often, so food was fresh and hot.
Apart from the breakfast on the first morning, I could find no fault with anything, staff were friendly and attentive as ever,

Perfect place to stay when attending a concert at the 02
My 2nd time staying at the InterContinental as part of attending a concert at the O2. It's a brilliant way to enjoy being at the concert with a direct passage between the venue and the hotel. We were also able to enjoy the bar that stayed open until 1 am and has brilliant views. Comfortable bed and fantastic shower. Breakfast the next morning was great (perfectly poached eggs and they kept the coffee coming!). All staff at the front desk, bar and breakfast room were wonderful.
It was all great. Will definitely stay there again.
