Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel

Elegant Riverside Luxury with Easy Access to London's Music Scene

Modern and refined, the Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel offers a peaceful retreat in the heart of Canary Wharf. Overlooking the River Thames and just a short walk from public transport links, this upscale hotel places you close to London's buzzing concert venues while offering a serene and luxurious place to recharge.

With a backdrop of gleaming skyscrapers and historic docks, this hotel blends business-district energy with riverside calm. Spacious, modern rooms, free WiFi, and access to a high-end health club make it a standout choice for travelers who want comfort and convenience in equal measure.

Why Concert-goers love it

If you’re catching a show in central or East London, this hotel is ideally located. Just a 10-minute walk to the Tube and only 2 minutes to the riverboat pier, it’s easy to get to venues and home again after the encore. After a big night out, unwind in the hydrotherapy pools or saunas at the Virgin Active Health Club – complimentary for hotel guests. The 24-hour room service and late check-out at 12:00 PM also mean no rush the next morning.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking for a chic base with wellness perks

Couples making their concert night a romantic getaway

Budget-conscious music lovers wanting occasional splurge comfort

Food and Drink Options

You’ll find 24/7 in-room dining, ideal for midnight snacks after the show. Morning-after options include a full English breakfast, continental spreads, and healthy choices to get you refreshed for another day. While there’s no on-site restaurant listed, the hotel’s prime location in Canary Wharf means that quality dining – from riverside bistros to global chains – is just steps away.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about calm than clubbing, its proximity to Canary Wharf’s bar scene gives you options. Whether you’re in the mood for a low-key cocktail or a riverside lounge with music, everything’s walkable. Plus, the Thames Clipper boat makes getting to and from the West End stylish and simple.

What People Say

Guests rave about the peaceful location, spacious rooms, and the excellent spa and fitness facilities. Many highlight the professional and friendly staff and love the views of the Thames. The convenience to transport and the relaxed atmosphere make it a top pick for concert weekends.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the area winds down early, so if you're hoping for a buzzing nightlife right outside the door, you might want to hop on the Tube. Also, while breakfast is praised, it’s not always included in the room rate.

The Bottom Line

For concert-goers who want a relaxing, stylish base with easy access to London’s music venues, Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel hits all the right notes.
