Still good!
Another one-nighter there this week. As good as it always has been. No complaints, apart from the Ł20 car parking charge! For that though, you do get secured underground parking.

The DLR station has been transferred away from the Hilton Canary Wharf, about 200m. I had a Junior Suite above the DLR on a lower floor and did not hear a thing. ^

I would be extremely unhappy with a lower floor room at this property as a result, although the rooms facing away from the DLR (with the construction view but no obvious construction in the last 18 months) should be quieter.

Hello all,
do they offer free wi-fi in the EL in this property?
And anybody knows about Tower Bridge?
Staying in these 2 properties in the next 10 days.

Is there any "real" tube stop close to Canary Wharf or is it just DLR? I'm trying to figure out the best way to get from LHR to Canary Wharf and then then after a couple of days Canary Wharf to the Tower Bridge location. Thanks.

From Canary Wharf 10 minutes of easy walking and a little bridge to cross.
Leaving the hotel proceed on the opposite direction, cross again the small bridge and take again the underground at Canary Wharf towards Stanmore. Get off at London bridge station (3rd stop). Another 10 minutes of walking and you reach the hotel.

Thanks. I wasn't sure how bad the walk was. Any concerns with doing that walk late on a Sunday night?
Also, good to see that it looks like Tower Bridge Hilton would just be 3 stops back to London Bridge stop.

I stayed 2 nights here in January and it was a great stay.
Got a very cheap rate in the January sale.
Got upgraded to a suite and enjoyed all the lounge very much.
The breakfast was great and all the staff were friendly too.
Just a pitty its out of the way a bit for the tourist areas.
Would definately stay again for a nice weekend away.

Is a business area and on a Sunday night it is totally desert, but in my opinion it seems to be a safe area.

Hilton Canary Wharf
I am going to Canary Wharf for a long weeekend (wed.sun) 'cause of my job. I am taking my family with me and on sunday we're flying to Palma on holiday. Is there anything that my family can do on that time? My baby boy is three monts old.
Edit: Is there a very good sunday brunch on four seasons on sunday?

I can't think of anything for families with really young children to do. There is a City Farm if that works for you and the museum of docklands, but it isn't an area packed with family fun activities.

Any recent upgrade experiences from Gold members? I have Sunday night and Friday/Saturday night stays at opposite ends of the week coming up and am hesitant to pay the 39 pounds a night NOR1 upgrade to an executive level room if I can help it.

I had two rooms during a week-end in March, one was a standard week-end fare, another was an award. Both of my rooms were upgraded to the Executive floor for free. But I do stay regularly at this property. The NOR1 upgrade I had requested for a junior suite on one of the two rooms did not go through, though.
