Architecture and facilities

In 2001, planning permission was gained by Squire and Partners for a slender landmark hotel tower conceived to act as a visual counterpoint to the monumental brick form of the adjacent Victorian warehouses in London's Docklands. Designed by HOK, its elliptical form is reminiscent of the curved hull of a boat.[2] The building was completed in 2004.

The bottom 12 floors of the 33-floor story building house the hotel, with 301 rooms on floors 1–8, and 47 serviced suites on floors 9-12. Facilities include the Manhattan Grill Restaurant,[3] 19 event rooms, an executive lounge, a health club and the G & Tea Lounge with over 180 different gins.[4]

The hotel hosts an artist in residence programme, showing the work of contemporary artists including Lincoln Townley in 2015[5] and Julie Umerle in 2017.[6]
