This Crowne Plaza provides a comfortable base for travelers seeking amenities like an indoor pool, hot tub, and a spa, alongside a restaurant and bar. The hotel is situated dockside, offering a polished environment for both business and leisure guests. While London City Airport is an hour away by public transport, the hotel's facilities and comfortable rooms make it a good choice for those with a longer layover or a flight later in the day, allowing time to relax before heading to the airport. Parking and a business center are available, catering to various traveler needs.

Our take
I would choose the Crowne Plaza London Docklands for a longer layover or an afternoon flight, when the hour-long public transport ride to London City Airport is not a problem. The indoor pool, hot tub and spa give the stay real substance, and the business center suits a working trip. For an early morning departure I would look for something closer to the terminal, because the journey time is the one real drawback here.
- Allow at least an hour for public transport to London City Airport, especially during peak times
- Take advantage of the spa and indoor pool for relaxation if you have a longer layover
- Consider dining at the hotel's restaurant or the nearby pizzeria for convenience
Why we love it
- Indoor pool and hot tub for relaxation
- Full-service spa on-site
- Pet-friendly accommodations
- Restaurant and bar for dining options
Why guests love itCrowne Plaza London Docklands is a 4-star dockside hotel rated 8.6 from more than 3,000 reviews. Families can use the indoor pool and hot tub, and a full-service spa, restaurant, bar and fitness centre are on site. Rooms and suites are warm, and pets are welcome. London City Airport is about an hour away by public transport, so I see it as a base for a longer stay or an afternoon flight rather than a last-minute hop before a morning departure.
