The Tower Hotel, by Thistle

Rooms and views

Rooms range from standard and deluxe to superior, executive bridge-view, family and accessible rooms, plus suites. Several categories face Tower Bridge, so pick a bridge-view room if the outlook matters. Some rooms are compact, so check sizes when booking. Sizes vary widely between room types, so check before you book.

Eating and drinking

Vicinity is the main restaurant, with views of Tower Bridge and The Shard. VU from The Tower is a cocktail bar over the Thames, Vantage is a newer lobby bar and lounge, and The Lawn is a riverside terrace for drinks and light bites during its seasonal opening. Private dining and function rooms are also available for events. Ask for a higher floor on the bridge side if the view is the reason you are booking. The Lawn is especially pleasant on a summer evening.

Around the hotel

Tower Bridge and the Tower of London are on the doorstep, and St Katharine Docks is close by. Guests can use the Fitness First gym and pool at the docks free of charge with a refundable deposit. London Bridge and The Shard are a pleasant walk along the south bank. Tower Hill and Tower Gateway stations are within a short walk.
