DoubleTree by Hilton London Greenwich

The building

The hotel was created from a former Metropolitan Police section house, and some of its history survives in the conversion. The O1 Restaurant sits in what was once a firearms shooting gallery, while the O1 Bar leans towards 1930s style, serving cocktails, light bites and afternoon tea. The conversion keeps something of the original institutional building's character, which sets it apart from purpose-built chain hotels in the area.

Rooms and facilities

Rooms range from king rooms with city views to rooms with a lounge area and suites, with connecting rooms and cots for families. There is a fitness centre. On-site parking is secured but must be pre-booked and is charged daily. The bar's afternoon tea is a handy option if you are staying with family and want something low-key without leaving the hotel. Penthouse suites offer views of the local area.

Using it as a base

Being near Greenwich station makes it practical for trains into central London. Maritime Greenwich, including the Cutty Sark, is about 1.2 miles away, so you can walk to the riverside or Greenwich Park. It is a good fit for visitors who prefer to stay in a neighbourhood rather than the West End, and for events at Greenwich venues.
