Part of W Hotels, offering great value for money and luxury touches. Next to ExCeL, a short taxi ride from London City Airport and beside the DLR overground. You may think this is a business hotel, due to its prime location next to London’s ExCeL Conference Centre. But take a closer look and you will see a stylish, bold hotel, bursting with high-quality facilities and benefiting from good transport links to central London and beyond. Your mood is positively influenced as soon as you walk in. The lighting and music varies, depending on the time of day, and natural wood and stone soften the edges. Young, hip and friendly staff are on hand to help as much or as little as you require, or you can do your own thing and use the help-yourself services. Starting with the ‘touch and go’ check-in, followed by a visit to the ‘grab n go’ food and drink station. Guest rooms are loft-inspired and optimise every inch of space. The large windows have been thoughtfully fitted with blackout blinds. The serene, white king-size bed takes centre stage. A frosted glass panel occupies the full-width of the room to create a spacious bathroom. And the walk-in, waterfall shower, complete with Bliss® Spa amenities – as seen in W Hotels, are added luxuries. As is the hotel-wide fast and free wifi and ‘plug and play’ one-stop connectivity station that recharges your laptop, cell phone, MP3 player and links to the 42” LCD TV. Families are also very well catered for. Kids, from 2 to 12 yrs, get a kid-size air mattress and special bedding to transform the room into camp Aloft – creating the perfect den to enjoy a goodnight story and special treats from the goody bag. And for your canine variety – the ‘arf’ service provides a dog bed, bowl, woof-alicious treats and toys. The ‘Splash’ indoor pool comes as a most refreshing surprise, as does the fully-equipped ‘Sweat’ fitness gym. While the w xyz bar has a buzz of its own – the speciality cocktails and guest DJs hit the spot every time. Situated in London's up and coming Docklands area, within walking distance of the Emirates Air Line – one of the most unique ways of travelling across the Thames to the O2 Arena. You can definitely make this location work for you.
