Located alongside the Royal Victoria Dock, 150 metres from the ExCel Centre, this modern hotel is close to London City Airport. Sharing the same building as the Ibis ExCel, The Novotel London ExCel is within a few minutes by road to newly-opened O2 Arena, with its many concerts and special events. Also close to the docklands and Canary Wharf, this area gives access to East London as well as into the city of London itself via the dual carriageway that runs right through the Docklands, towards Tower Bridge (Aspen Way, A1261). Built at the end of 2003, this new generation Novotel is ideal for anyone also visiting the ExCel exhibition centre, as the hotel faces the west entrance, just a 100 yard walk across a pedestrian courtyard. The hotel features a spacious restaurant, a bar overlooking Royal Victoria Dock, 12 meeting rooms with a capacity for up to 70 and on-site parking. Additionally the Novotel hotel offers a fitness room (with sauna and steam room) and facilities for disabled people.
