For me this will be perfect as my family run a security business on the Greenwich high road behind the hotel, literally a stones throw away .
It's ironic as from 1996 - 2010 I used to spend every August in the student accommodation next door way before I could afford to stay Hilton.
THE HOTEL - obviously it will be refitted to a doubletree but it is fairly plush.....I've been inside for a coffee and the bar/restaurant area is very smart and luxurious looking, breakfast is in the basement I was told, parking at rear.......will be interesting to see how this develops, I'm often in Greenwich so will keep an eye on this.

This is great news to wake up too, yes it can only be " the Greenwich hotel " formerly the mercue.

The TA reviews are also quite positive. Looking forward to trying this one.

Me too mate, Greenwich is my favourite place in London hands down, I spent many times there man and boy......... I have family and many friends on the Greenwich high road behind this hotel.
One thing you must do is have the " mixed meat fried noodles " at the tai won mein noodle house ( corner of deptford creek road ) , washed down with a pint of frulli ( strawberry beer ) in the gypsy moth pub opposite.
I know it sounds a bit random but I've gave this recommendation many times on my travels and everyone agreed!.....trust me on this!.
As for the hotel it's very plush, I do a Thames walk once a year every summer and I start from the park next door, making this hotel perfect......potentially becoming my new " Hilton Canary Wharf "

OOooh don't let Canary Wharf hear that!
I'm trying Doubletree Excel in a couple of weeks as a change, but am also a big fan of Canary Wharf.
