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 this 33-floor story building houses the hotel, offering 301 rooms on floors 1-8, and 47 serviced suites on floors 9-12. Facilities include the Manhattan Grill Steak Restaurant,[3] 19 event rooms, an executive lounge, a health club and a bar/lounge.

The hotel hosts an artist in residence programme, showing the work of contemporary artists. In 2017, abstract artist Julie Umerle was appointed artist in residence.[4]
