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.”

Perfectly convenient for the O2
Hotel was lovely and clean. Staff were amazing and very friendly. Breakfast was exceptional. Highly recommend paying the tray charge to have it delivered to your room. The link to the O2 made accessing it very easy. We will definitely stay again the next time we visit the O2
Absolutely nothing negative to say.

We were very happy with our room and will be back. Just fix that window 😂
Location for the O2, cleanliness and comfort. Good quality bathroom toiletries
One of the windows overlooking the O2 was defective causing condensation which obscured the view
18 April 2026
Very clean room with everything you need, amazing staff, great views of the river.
Location was fantastic for the o2, with only a5 minute walk from the hotel
The light switches were a little confusing at first, but I’m just being picky.

Lovely stay.
It was my second time staying at the hotel, loved it the first time and really enjoyed it now. The staff weee professional and helpful, the atmosphere was very pleasant too. The spa facilities were brilliant. The pleasant surprise of a slice of a birthday cake was a beautiful gesture. Thank you.
The room size was great (I chose it), however it wasn’t clean. There were rice on the carpet, some egg shells, the mirror had an I cleaned spot, the tap had scale and water marks. Bathroom didn’t bother me so much but to walk on someone’s left food in the carpet , wasn’t pleasant. Luckily there were slippers which were provided by the hotel. I wasn’t sure if bathrobes had to be provided although it was stated on the booking info but we never got them.

Great location, everywhere was really clean and the staff were really helpful.
The location, cleanliness and staff were all brilliant.
My only negative was the cost of drinks in the sky bar, £30 for 2 drinks and they added on a service charge for me purchasing from the bar, it wasn’t even table service.

Great stay , will be back .
Location was excellent , breakfast was first class bars and restaurant was great Will definitely be back .

Perfect
Everything was perfect, I was treated to a slice of cake in my room for my birthday which was a lovely touch!
Pillows very soft and felt thin when on it but that’s just my personal preference nothing to do with the hotel at all.
12 April 2026
Perfect spot and views
Perfect for a show at O2. Plenty of staff to tend to our needs. Great view from 18th floor bar.
Hardly worth mentioning as did nor effect our stay or rating. Only 2 coffee pods for our stay, had to request more. Took a while to get out of carpark as other drivers having issues with payment and had to reverse out of the way. So some minor tweaks needed.

Brilliant! Very comfortable and so convenient for the O2
Brilliant location and very attentive staff
Corridors and bedroom doors were noisy at times making it difficult to sleep

Damage to bathroom prior to me checking in. Had a £6 charge but no idea why.

Impeccable
There isn’t much to be faulted about the property. The location is impeccable for the O2, the facilities are outstanding and the staff are all very helpful and accommodating. It is truly a treat and a pleasure to stay here and the car parking available is also really handy.
It is expensive but you do get quality for the money you spend.

Perfect location and luxurious hotel
Beautiful inside. A perfect location. Views were amazing. Room smelt so fresh and clean. Staff so welcoming and helpful. Short cut to the 02 was ideal.
Couldn’t get into the bar on the 1st floor which was a shame.

Superb
Location, clean and friendly staff.
Bit costly but didn’t mind paying as the location was spot for getting back from boxing event at the o2.
9 April 2026
Expensive
Great location
Very expensive, also the at the end of our night there was a big queue for the lift (which is fine) so we opted to use the stairs instead, but we could only walk up toothed 2nd floor and was told the stairs don't go any further, so what are people on the higher floors supposed to do if there is a fire in which case the lofts will be out of service

Perfect weekend working trip
Location and facilities were perfect for our visit Breakfast was very good and great selection conference facilities ere very good also

Relaxing and comfortable after a great night at the O2 arena.
The proximity to the O2 arena was a big plus, but the hotel in itself is very nice too.
I didn't have any complaints

Great hotel enjoyed meeting Deontay Wilder there too
Concierge was excellent, staff were friendly
Rooms were great
9 April 2026
Add a substancial car park fee to the price you pay!
Great location, premium facilities.
I have used the hotel a couple of times prior with no car park fee. Can you imagine my dismay to check out with a £52 parking fee for one night???
8 April 2026
Lush and luxurious all in one.
Everything was first class! Loved the spa, the breakfast, the location, the staff, the roof top bar…
£52 per night for parking is INSANE
