Greenwich Accommodation
Greenwich is the ideal place to base yourself and your family for a London holiday. Only eight minutes from The Shard by train, it’s close to all the sights and transport is frequent and easy.
Greenwich is part of London, but a part like no other, with lots of green space, historic landmarks, places to eat and drink and things to see and do. Most accommodation is away from the main roads so there’s little traffic noise or congestion, unlike central London.
Being a tourist, or a business traveller is hard work - so it’s good to get away from the 24 hour hustle of the middle of town for peaceful evenings and nights in Greenwich.
There’s a wide choice of accommodation including hotels like InterContinental London The O2, with its amazing views of the river, the art-deco inspired interiors of DoubleTree by Hilton London Greenwich and the handily placed Novotel London Greenwich – virtually next door to the Docklands Light Railway and railway station.
Staycity aparthotels on Greenwich High Road and Deptford Bridge are fantastic for families and the Clarendon Hotel in Blackheath, The Pilot on Greenwich Peninsula and ibis London Greenwich offer quality rooms in historic locations.
Good Hotel London and Sunborn London Yacht Hotel are both floating in the refurbished docklands where they’re joined by Aloft London Excel, an incredibly convenient place to stay for exhibitions at ExCeL London, Radisson Blu Edwardian on New Providence Wharf and Canary Riverside Plaza which overlooks Canary Wharf pier and the water.
DoubleTree by Hilton London Greenwich is both modern and historic. Once a police section house, this RIBA winning 1940s landmark building has been restored with a contemporary flare while preserving its historic charm. The quiet location is near train stations putting you within easy reach of popular attractions such as Cutty Sark, the National Maritime Museum, Queen’s House and Royal Observatory. Canary Wharf is just 10 minutes away via DLR services. Enjoy a unique perspective from the viewing deck on the 8th floor which overlooks the city of London.
De Vere Devonport House sits between the National Maritime Museum and the river Thames. Steeped in maritime history, this red-bricked Georgian building with its tall white columns, bold lines and structural symmetry started life in 1783 as a school building for Greenwich Hospital.
The hotel brings together a wealth of original features along with a modern style to deliver an inspiring setting for meetings, events, weddings and training.
Staycity is also the place to go for quality self-catering in comfortable apartments which all have fully equipped kitchens complete with fridge. Stay connected on all devices with free WiFi, whether it’s to upload selfies, plan tomorrow’s itinerary, or stream brain fluff TV shows before bed.
A stay at Sunborn London offers guests a very novel experience. Inside, this yacht-hotel provides all the quality and comfort of a top hotel; suites are airy, spacious and luxurious – with views of the river and dock. Outside, the public areas are outstanding.
Good Hotel combines premium hospitality with doing good for the local community. The hotel is located in the historical Royal Victoria Docks in London, on the river Thames, and is a profit for non-profit business. This means it employs a social business model that re-invests all its profits. Good Hotel London was transported from Amsterdam – where it popped up for a year in 2015 – and is now continuing its social mission in London.
InterContinental London The O2 is incredibly convenient for visits to The O2 on Greenwich Peninsula. There are 453 luxury rooms, a beauty spa and a ballroom for up to 3,000 people. Spectacular Canary Wharf views are best enjoyed over cocktails in Eighteen Sky Bar, one of several dining destinations. The O2 arena is steps away and the Emirates Air Line cable car zips over the Thames to ExCel London. MBNA Thames Clippers and the Jubilee line offer fast links to London’s West end and London City Airport.
For those who’d like a bit of a pastoral view, The Clarendon Hotel is situated in Blackheath Village with commanding views across open grassland to Royal Greenwich Park. Blackheath is one of London’s few remaining charming villages with excellent village pubs and fine restaurants.
The Pilot, on Greenwich Peninsula, is a wonderful example of modern hospitality. But the pub actually dates back more than 200 years, built in the early 1800s to serve the local coal workers and is probably the oldest building on the Peninsula. The ten individually designed bedrooms are the perfect place to stay if you're visiting the The O2 or a base from which to explore the sights of London. All bedrooms feature sumptuous 1600 spring mattresses, Egyptian cotton linen and en suite bathrooms, guaranteeing a great night's sleep even after the most exciting of shows.
Over in London’s Docklands, within very easy reach of Greenwich and Greenwich Peninsula, you’ll find Canary Wharf Riverside Plaza, Radisson Blu Edwardian New Providence Wharf and Aloft London Excel. Canary Wharf Riverside Plaza offers a sophisticated modern lifestyle in the midst of London’s business hub, right next to Canary Wharf Pier. An excellent restaurant on the ground floor leads onto an open air terrace for drinks in warmer months.
The Radisson Blu Edwardian New Providence Wharf hotel is a sleek, contemporary property with boutique soul on a quiet bend of the River Thames. With contemporary furnishings, modern artwork and generously sized rooms, the hotel makes the perfect riverside base for business or pleasure. Close to ExCeL London and City Airport.
Aloft London is a bold new hotel featuring loft-inspired design! 5 minutes from London City Airport next to the ExCeL London and a quick ride to the businesses of Canary Wharf and boats or DLR to Greenwich. Restaurants and bars are contemporary and lively and a great place to meet business contacts and friend.
