"The hotel is located on the historic Queenhithe Dock on the Thames, a natural inlet where Alfred the Great arrived in 886 to rebuild the city after it was abandoned by the Romans. Queen Matilda was granted the dues from the dock in the early 12th century, hence the name Queenhithe. Nowadays, the Westin London City is a perfect spot for visiting theatres and museums it has a spectacular view over Shakespeare's Globe and Tate Modern, which are just across the river."
"The entrance to this five-star, luxurious hotel had me in raptures. A large lobby featured a glass wall overlooking the Thames, while the double-vaulted ceiling displayed a magnificent series of hanging paper sculptures by Dutch artist Peter Gentenaar. These large, floating paper installations set the tone at The Westin London City, where elegance and art meet excellent service and good food."
"Whether you are local to London or arrive from one of the city's airports or train stations, The Westin London City is close to public transport, with a few tube stations within easy reach. Having left home early afternoon on a Friday, we arrived ready to make the most of the facilities and location. During the week, I would assume this large hotel is popular with business travellers, as it is very close to the City."
A weekend stay at The Westin London City offers a luxurious mini-staycation with dinner, breakfast, and a Heavenly Spa treatment. The hotel sits on historic Queenhithe Dock on the Thames, linked to Alfred the Great and Queen Matilda, and provides views of Shakespeare's Globe and Tate Modern. It offers easy access to public transport and is popular with business travellers midweek, quieter on weekends with couples and families. The lobby features a glass wall and Peter Gentenaar paper sculptures. Rooms mostly face the street; river-facing rooms are limited to suites and a three-bedroom residence.
