Set within the Sea Containers building - originally designed by acclaimed American architect Warren Platner - on London’s South Bank, the hotel boasts 359 guest rooms and suites, Sea Containers restaurant serving up fresh modern cuisine, an award-winning experimental cocktail bar spearheaded by master mixologist Ryan Chetiyawardana, and an exclusive rooftop bar with panoramic views over the River Thames. Designed by Design Research Studio under the creative direction of visionary Tom Dixon, Sea Containers London is also home to a maritime-inspired 56-seat cinema and spa. Inspired by the golden age of ocean cruising, a time when exotic ingredients were introduced to the world, and an abundance of fresh local produce was celebrated, the three distinctive food and drink venues each offer a dynamic experience. Flavourful dishes range from nourishing to hearty at Sea Containers Restaurant, which is perfect for an al fresco lunch by the river, sunset cocktails or an atmospheric dinner. Experience innovative cocktails in the award-winning Lyaness, voted as one of the top 50 World’s Best Bars, featuring a signature electric blue seating as well as the original sweeping green marble bar. Take in panoramic views of the London skyline from our rooftop bar 12th Knot, with its beautifully appointed lounge and outdoor terrace for unrivalled views over the River Thames.

There was a hand written note and a bowl of fruits waiting for me in my room which I thought was a really beautiful gesture. The balcony views from my room to the River Thames were amazing and the hotel staff were friendly and attentive. It was a short stay and didn't get to do much within the hotel, but i enjoyed it and looking forward to returning there. Thanks to everyone who made my stay special!

Wonderful hotel with amazing views and close to Burrough Market and other sites to visit on the Southbank and Central London. The 12th Knot was a nice place to grab a drink while looking out at the Thames. The staff was very helpful.

This was our second stay at Sea Containers. We upgraded to a Studio room and were not disappointed. A lovely room complete with spacious bathroom. The staff could not have been more helpful. This is a perfect location for work or leisure and in easy walking distance to public transport and attractions. Definitely our go to place now for any London stays.

This was a gift for Xmas along with tickets for Pretty Woman. The hotel was well situated on the South Bank and we were able to walk to most of the major sights quite easily. The hotel itself is quite unique, very comfortable beds, clean, good facilities , meals etc. Would definitely stay again.

We have a big security problem during our stay where good amount of money was stolen from our room. Following the incident we could not get any feedback from hotel team. It seems they do not care much, just giving some stereotype answers. They can easily detect how it occurs by simply monitoring the CCTVs and interviewing the staff correctly. will never stay at his hotel.
