Canary Riverside Plaza

Canary Riverside Plaza – Quadrato

Overview

Canary Riverside Plaza stands as the only independent five-star hotel in Canary Wharf, London. Overlooking the Thames and set within the business district’s waterfront, it brings a sense of contemporary luxury and calm to an action-packed part of the capital. The hotel is particularly well-suited to travellers seeking a sophisticated city break with a blend of leisure, fine dining, and easy access to London’s cultural highlights. Quadrato, the hotel’s in-house restaurant, anchors the property with its polished approach to modern Italian cuisine and serves both guests and locals in stylish surroundings.

Eat

Quadrato offers a refined take on Italian cooking, with carefully selected British and Mediterranean ingredients shining through the menu. The culinary style leans towards sophisticated, seasonal dishes—think hand-crafted pasta, prime grilled meats, and expertly balanced desserts. Quadrato has been awarded an AA Rosette, reflecting its consistent quality and attention to detail. Service is warm yet formal, with the restaurant’s large windows providing views out onto the riverside gardens, making both a light lunch and an evening tasting menu feel special. An emphasis on provenance, presentation, and delivering bright, bold flavours makes Quadrato a favourite for city gourmets and business diners alike.

Sleep

With 142 rooms and suites spread across nine floors, Canary Riverside Plaza is designed for comfort and understated elegance. Expect plush beds, generous marble bathrooms, and windows that frame either east London skylines or the Thames. Soft furnishings in muted, modern tones create a calming environment, ideal for unwinding after a day in the city. The hotel suits business travellers, couples on an urban getaway, and anyone who prefers ample space and a touch of luxury in their base. Guests enjoy complimentary access to the on-site health club and spa, further elevating the stay.

Retreat

Staying here means you’re perfectly placed to explore Canary Wharf’s riverside walks, the green expanses of nearby parks, and a growing scene of independent shops. The Jubilee line is a ten-minute stroll, taking you to London Bridge and the West End in under 20 minutes. On-site, guests can relax at the health club’s pool and spa or enjoy a cocktail on the terrace overlooking the Thames. Greenwich’s Royal Museums and historic riverside pubs are just over two miles away, while the hotel’s proximity to the business district ensures dining and entertainment options are plentiful for a weekend break.
