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 Pleasant stay, would definitely recommend it.
The room was spacious and very clean. A real pleasure.
There was a massive queue to get to the lifts after the event at the O2, we wanted to climb to floor 10 by the stairs and have been told stairs can't be used to go up.... Everything else was platinum service.

Overall an enjoyable stay, excellent position when attending an event at the O2
Breakfast was brilliant. However, the choice of food to eat when you need to be out before dinner starts was poor.
Ground floor restaurant could have had more choice

Perfect location for visiting O2 arena
Breakfast was excellent with so much choice. Location to O2 is spot on. Hotel spotless throughout. Bar drinks quite expensive but what you would expect for the location. All staff very friendly and helpful. Considering where the hotel is located reasonably good value for money
Shortage of English Breakfast teabags in the room!! Other options were available but not to my liking

Everything was faultless. The hotel furnishings, facilities, and staff service were impeccable, and the breakfast was superb. My sister and I went to a concert at the 02 so the location couldn't have been more perfect. I would definitely stay there again. Just wish we had the time to use the spa facilities, but they did look very impressive.
Nothing at all.

Excellent hotel. Staff very welcoming
Excellent location for attending a concert at the O2 arena. Extremely clean and well maintained facilities
Everything was great and the breakfast was lovely too. Pillows on the bed were too soft!!! Not really a criticism, more an observation.

The room was incredibly comfortable with great facilities
Breakfast felt like the staff were busy but not as attentive as I expected. I had to ask for tea, as did the table next to me. I was only offered an order from the menu once I'd nearly finished (I didn't want anything anyway)

Stunning views and very comfortable stay
Really lovely hotel- beautiful room with incredibly comfortable bed and spacious shower. The view is spectacular. I was quite unwell while we were there and staff could not have been more kind and helpful. It was much appreciated. We were there for a concert and the location is fantastic for easy access to the O2. Highly recommend treating yourself to a stay so you don’t have to battle the crowds for the tube afterwards.
Minor complaint but the fancy lighting system is a bit tricky to use and a very simple card with a guide on it would be helpful!

The room was large and spacious the cleanliness in some parts could have been better ie small hairs in the shoer however overall it was very good. Good sized bathroom and room. Hairdryer was only cold setting however it did what it was meant to do.
The hairdryers was only blowing cold air

Truly a 5 star property
Amazing property lovely stuff receptionist super helpful and professional. Restaurant Brasserie super good food and staff very friendly.
Spa facilities are great but staff there are a bit sharp with clients. They are really enforcing the children hours and although we were humble and quiet they didn’t want to be flexible.
