The new InterContinental London – The O2 is scheduled to open in late 2015, providing extensive facilities for leisure and business travellers visiting the capital.
The luxury 453-bedroom 18-storey hotel and conference centre currently in construction as part of a 7.6 acre development scheme on the Greenwich Peninsula, a destination enjoying a huge surge in visitors following the 2012 Olympic regeneration project.
Conference centre and ballroom
Designed to the highest sustainability standards and located immediately adjacent to The O2, the InterContinental London – The O2 will feature a dedicated conference centre complete with 20 multi-functional meeting rooms and an impressive 3000sqm pillar-free ballroom, one of the largest single event spaces in any European hotel. Accommodating as many as 3000 delegates, the hotel’s ballroom will rival many of its current London counterparts, attracting a range of events from congresses, exhibitions to banquets and award ceremonies as part of its full service offering.
On the banks of the Thames
With its enviable position on the banks of the River Thames, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of the water and neighbouring Canary Wharf. The hotel’s location also benefits from easy riverboat access into Greenwich Pier and is only 400m from North Greenwich tube station where guests can reach London’s West End within 15 minutes. London City Airport, carrying more than 3 million visitors each year and serving the many business travellers into Canary Wharf and the City of London, is within six miles of the hotel.
Facilities at the InterContinental London – The O2 include a luxury spa, hotel bar, two restaurants – comprising a fine dining and all-day dining experience – as well as a 18th floor Sky Bar boasting an uninterrupted, panoramic view across the water to Canary Wharf and beyond.
InterContinental London – The O2 is managed and operated by The Arora Group under a franchise agreement with the InterContinental Hotels Group (IHG®).
