ONE of Canary Wharf’s trendiest hotels – and one of the few actually within the London district itself – is Tribe.
Here is everything you need to know from what the rooms are like to what you can do nearby.
Where is Tribe Canary Wharf?
Overlooking Canary Wharf’s dock, Tribe is a five-minute walk from the tube station.
The hotel was created by two Perth design fans, who have since opened 18 Tribe hotels around the world.
Aiming to be for the “modern travellers as an affordable luxury,” Tribe Canary Wharf is surrounded by some of the city’s most popular chain restaurants like Patty & Bun and Dishoom.
What is the hotel like?
The hotel is modern and stylish, with edgy graphic design and chrome gold lighting in the bedrooms.
It’s in a prime spot in London and the cool interiors separate it from older, more traditional hotels.
What is there to do there?
Guests can pay for a day pass to the Third Space gym, one of the swankiest ones in London.
Costing £20, it includes access to all of the facilities including the gym, pool, sauna and spa.
The hotel also has a beautiful lobby area which is popular with co-workers, thanks to the number of desks and plugs.
Otherwise just outside is GoBoat if you fancy a ride around Canary Wharf’s canals, while many of London’s main tourist attractions are a short tube ride away.
Being the festive season, you can even find Canary Wharf’s ice rink popping up this month.
What are the rooms like at Tribe Canary Wharf?
The rooms have trimmed some of the frills to keep the hotel affordable for travellers – so don’t expect dressing gowns or slippers.
But the 320 rooms have everything you need, including complimentary toiletries, USB ports by the bed plus tea and coffee making facilities.
They range from Tribe Essential – the most compact – to Tribe Extra.
The huge windows in each room with views over Canary Wharf make them feel larger than they actually are.
Everything you need to know about the hotel from what is on offer to check out times are access by the TV.
What is there to eat and drink at the hotel?
The district might have all the food joints you could want, but the hotel’s Feels Like June restaurant offers a unique take on California dining.
The All Day Menu has everything from delicious Chicken Katsu Sandos to delicious rib eye steaks. Vegetarians don’t worry as there are lots of meat-free options too.
I also loved my Miami Vice – a concoction of gin, elderflower and melon sorbet.
(Make sure to grab a cocktail between 5pm and 7pm for their Happy Hour deal of two for £15).
Check out the live events at the hotel as there are sometimes live DJ sets.
It’s also a great spot for breakfast, so you can indulge in avocado on toast or a superfood smoothie bowl before checkout.
Remember to visit the 24-hour Grab & Go station near reception, which has pre-packaged meals, snacks and a coffee station.
