DoubleTree by Hilton has officially opened its newest London hotel, the DoubleTree by Hilton London Docklands Riverside, following an extensive refurbishment and reflagging.
Located on the bank of the River Thames, the hotel features 378 guest rooms with views across to Canary Wharf.
It is the only hotel in London with its own pier – taking full advantage of its waterfront location – and offers stylish, modern accommodation, restaurants, bars and event venues.
The hotel’s contemporary architecture and design draws inspiration from the site’s heritage as the distinguished Rotherhithe shipping dock –mixing modern comforts with the site’s historical maritime charm.
John Greenleaf, global head, DoubleTree by Hilton, said: “The DoubleTree by Hilton London Docklands Riverside is just a two minute ferry ride across the River Thames to Canary Wharf, one of the world’s major global business districts, and near to international exhibition and event centres such as the O2 Arena and ExCel London. We are delighted to warmly welcome both business and leisure guests to this thriving London neighbourhood.”
The hotel provides a crossriver shuttle ferry to the Canary Wharf Pier. Much of the site’s history has been preserved, including the former shipping docks, and the DoubleTree by Hilton London Docklands Riverside offers the only dry dock in London.
The opening of DoubleTree by Hilton London Docklands Riverside expands the brand’s growing portfolio in the UK and Europe. The hotel joins 10 other DoubleTree by Hilton hotels in Greater London.
