Hotel Intercontinental The O2, London

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

The InterContinental London – The O2, which opened in 2016, is a striking landmark on the Greenwich Peninsula. Purpose-built as a luxury hotel and conference centre, it revitalized a former industrial site, turning it into a premier destination for business and leisure. Its architecture is notable for being designed to BREEAM “Excellent” sustainability standards, featuring an impressive green roof and a focus on energy efficiency.

A standout feature of the property is its massive, pillar-free ballroom, which is among the largest in Europe. Designed to handle major international events, the space is a feat of engineering, with trusses spanning over 40 meters to ensure an unobstructed view for thousands of guests. For more casual visitors, the 18th-floor Eighteen Sky Bar offers sweeping, panoramic views of the River Thames and the London skyline.

The hotel is physically linked to The O2 arena by a private walkway, making it an incredibly convenient base for concert-goers. Guests can also easily access the ICON Outlet shopping centre or take the Thames Clippers, which provide a scenic commute toward the heart of the city.

The local area is steeped in history, positioned right near the Greenwich Meridian line. Nearby, you’ll find the Royal Observatory, the National Maritime Museum, and the famous Cutty Sark ship. The hotel is also adjacent to “The Tide,” an elevated riverside linear park featuring public art installations that connect the surrounding creative district with the river.

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.”

Fantastic location, great hotel, my new favourite place to stay.

The location is fantastic, 5 minutes walk from the 02. There is an access link to get you to the 02 quicker within the hotel, which is very handy when you are running late. The staff are very friendly and the rooms are spacious, well decorated and clean. The mattress is very soft however I had a great nights sleep. The bathroom has both a shower and a bath which is very unusual, much appreciated though. The breakfast is great lots of choice both hot and cold, served buffet style. Use of the hotel spa facilities is incuded in your stay, treatments are extra.

The coffee and tea tray has all you need, however the biscuits are the smallest I have ever seen.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ We recently stayed at the InterContinental London – The O2 whilst attending the RAYE concert at The O2, and we had a fabulous experience from start to finish. The hotel itself is beautiful, with elegant décor and a luxurious feel throughout. Our room was comfortable and well-presented, making it the perfect place to relax after a fantastic evening at the concert. The location is also ideal if you're visiting The O2, with everything just a short walk away. What really stood out to us was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. Everyone we encountered was welcoming, attentive, and genuinely eager to make our stay enjoyable. Breakfast was delightful, with an excellent selection and high-quality food to suit all tastes. It was a wonderful way to start the day. Overall, we felt the InterContinental London – The O2 offered exceptional value for money considering the quality of the accommodation, service, and location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and wouldn't hesitate to return in the future. Without a doubt, this hotel deserves 5 stars. Highly recommended.

the only thing i would knock is how long it takes to get there given the location, this would only be me being picky i still think its a fabulous place and i would highly recommend

Very comfortable room in the perfect location for our visit t London.

The room was comfortable & quiet, the bed was large & very comfortable.

The bar upstairs didn’t serve snacks and the staff were indifferent. The DJ music didn’t really fit. The layout wasn’t comfortable however the views were excellent.

Fantastic location for the O2 with amazing city views

An excellent location for the O2! It has a walkway straight into the O2 so perfect for heading to a concert there. We felt so good walking back to our hotel 2minutes walk away when thousands had to queue for an hr to get on a tube! The view from our room was amazing of Canary Wharf. Stunning at night. Great bar serving cocktails. Staff were lovely too.

The signage to the hotel from North Greenwich tube… it wasn’t very clear.
