Located in London's Docklands on the banks of the River Thames, Four Seasons Hotel Canary Wharf is a top spot from which to head west and explore the capital city or the other way to experience old London and the vibrant East End. The shopping and food malls at Canary Wharf are a must-do (as is a cocktail in one of the many bars) before catching a boat down the Thames towards Tower Bridge and onto the London Eye. Perfect for those looking to see London with a bit of class.

The facilities

Gym, pool and spa facilities can be found in the Virgin Active Health Club next door to the hotel and are available for guests to use. A stunning glass pod covers the indoor heated pool overlooking the Thames whilst the Dove spa has a busy menu of treatments and therapies. There is a fully-equipped gym on site too. For all work and no play visits, there is a round the clock business centre with a multilingual concierge and Wi-Fi.

The rooms

Contemporary, colourful and stylish, the 142 rooms and suites at Four Seasons Hotel Canary Wharf are just what the doctor ordered. Newly renovated, rooms are styled with American Black Walnut furnishings, cream leather window seats and plasma televisions. Marble bathrooms add the luxe factor and the deep soaking bath tub that fills up in 60 seconds is ideal. Pick a room with a view along the river to see one of the best skylines in the world.
