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.”

Excellent. We had the best time!
The location was perfect for us. We’d booked tickets for Mama Mia the Party at the 02 next door. The breakfast was lovely and we really appreciated the staff had noted that I was celebrating a big birthday, putting a happy birthday message and piece of cake in our room on arrival. Thank you!
It would be helpful to be able to pre-book parking.

The hotel is excellent. It has a price tag to match but is well worth the money. Really nice to be able to attend an event at the O2, and walk for five minutes back to your hotel room and immediately go to bed. Breakfast was very good with a large variety of options. The pool and spa area are also very nice. The room was clean and comfortable, and staff were very friendly and helpful.

Good, would not stay here again for the price
Great room Great pool and facilities
The tv did not connect to any apps like Netflix or Apple TV or able to screen share with iPhone. We called the front desk and they said we had to have an android. The cable tv was out of region / possibly Middle East? For the price paid, this is pretty unacceptable and would encourage the hotel to upgrade on the television in the rooms.

The customer service was exceptional - the hotel itself was beautiful and breakfast was delightful

Very friendly staff (reception, concierge, cleaning staff), sizeable room, excellent water pressure, easy access from Jubilee line.
The tea and food served at one of the indoor establishments was lukewarm, staff was hasty, tables were sticky. Very unlike the set standards for the hotel.

Amazing, Comfortable and relaxing
It was close to the O2 and all staff were helpful and friendly. The room was stunning with a nice shower separate from the bath and a very comfortable bed. We really enjoyed breakfast and sat at a table next to the window facing the Thames.

Good but way overpriced for what it is
The link to the o2 arena is super handy Room service was ordered after the concert which was delivered pretty quick. The pizza wasn’t too good,very dry and extremely pricey.
