Within easy reach of the banks and buzz of Canada Square, this branch of the Hilton is as corporate as the location, but the comfy, airy rooms have separate work areas to help with that work-relaxation balance. Room decor is classic-meets-contemporary masculine, with dark woods, muted colours and easy chairs. It provides the full business traveller experience, but family rooms are a reminder that it’s not just a business hotel – while the Cinnamon Restaurant and Bar keep things grown up with vodka cocktails and afternoon teas.
Built in the 1980s on the site of the former West India Docks, this shiny financial centre is big with bankers – if you’re one of them, or just looking for the best hotels in Canary Wharf, look no further. Bonuses can be spent in the plethora of bars and restaurants underneath those skyscrapers: we like glass-and-metal restaurant Plateau in Canada Place for its beautifully presented contemporary European cuisine, and Boisdale of Canary Wharf, which does a nice tongue-in-cheek homage to Scottish gentlemen’s clubs, with nightly live music. End an evening with a drink in a snug at historical Docklands pub The Gun and, if you must leave, the Jubilee line and DLR will get you where you need to go. Here's our pick of the best hotels near Canary Wharf.
