If you find yourself working in Canary Wharf and need a place to stay that balances business with wellness, the Radisson Blu Hotel, London Canary Wharf East might just be the spot for you. Located on the north bank of the Thames, the hotel offers a quieter retreat from the hustle of the Wharf while still being easily accessible.
For corporate travellers, the standout feature is the dedicated function rooms—a large portion of the building designed for meetings, events, and conferences. Whether you’re hosting an intimate board meeting or a larger gathering, the facilities cater to professional needs with a sleek, modern setup. And for added convenience, guests can stay on-site, with a range of comfortable rooms and suites overlooking Canary Wharf, the O2, and the Thames.
The Gym & Spa
Fitness enthusiasts will appreciate the hotel’s commitment to health and wellness.
The gym is sleek, stylish and modern. The monochrome black flooring and equipment against the skyline backdrop sets a perfect stage to lock in your workout. The equipment – which has every cardio machine you would want, as well as free weights, machines and kettlebells – is all designed to join to your “my wellness” apps, so if you are the kind of person who wants to track their performance, it’s got you covered.
A spa and stream room is also on offer, with the relaxation room making a horse shoe around the side of the building to provide more of that stunning view. A variety of treatments are on offer, no matter how much time you have at your disposal.
Fitness is a theme throughout the hotel, with scales in the rooms and workout videos playing in the bar—whether that’s a motivator or a reminder of one too many indulgences is up for debate!
Drink, Dine & Rest with a view
If you’re feeling peckish and unable to travel into town to eat, the restaurant serves up hearty meals with an extensive wine list, all enjoyed against the stunning backdrop of the Thames and north Greenwich. Highlights included a 2019 Côtes du Rhône—a Grenache/Syrah blend with just the right balance of fruit and spice; the chicken wings starter with a brilliant buffalo sauce; and, if you have a sweet tooth, the beautifully caramelised tarte tatin—rich, indulgent, and impossible to leave unfinished.
The adjoining bar gives Lost in translation vibes, with sleek black marble, dark corners and large modern prints.
While the rooms themselves are more functional than luxurious, it’s a convenient and comfortable choice for those needing a practical stay near the business heart of the city.
In A Nutshell
The Radisson Blu Hotel, London Canary Wharf East is a solid option for business travellers looking for a well-equipped corporate hub with a strong fitness focus. The gym is excellent, the business facilities are extensive, and the views across the river add something unique.
