The Intercontinental is a vast hotel complex situated right next to the O2 Arena on a gorgeous corner of the Greenwich archipelago. While the size and opulence of the hotel could be a little intimidating, the staff who were courteous, helpful and welcoming for every second of my visit gave the place a warmth you might not expect. Gym and pool were well appointed and spotlessly clean, and the breakfast (the only meal I had at the hotel) was exceptional. Hotel residents can enter the arena area directly from the hotel. My room was very large, well stocked with complimentary items with good TV choices and a great view of the Arena and the Thames.
