About the Hotel

20 Upper Ground, London, United Kingdom, SE1 9PD

“The Sea Containers London boasts a fine riverside location with amazing Thames views!”view full review

Sea Containers London, a 5-star wellness hotel on the South Bank, features a design reminiscent of a 1920s transatlantic cruise liner with a giant copper-clad wall inspired by a ship's hull. This remarkable resort offers award-winning food and drink outlets alongside an electric energy, placing guests at the heart of London's cultural neighborhood with panoramic Thames views.

Designer Rooms & Suites

The 359 guest rooms feature custom furnishings by Tom Dixon, sumptuous queen or king beds, and en-suite marble bathrooms with rainfall showers. River View Deluxe Double Double rooms offer twin double beds positioned overlooking the Thames with wall-to-wall windows. Ship Shape Suite includes dedicated fitness zones with VAHA interactive mirror, Peloton bike, and recovery equipment like Theragun Pro.

Multiple Dining Venues

Sea Containers Restaurant serves American-British-inspired sharing plates using seasonal, locally sourced ingredients with outdoor riverside seating. Lyaness, awarded the world's best bar, offers boundary-pushing cocktails organized by key ingredients rather than traditional categories. 12th Knot rooftop bar provides small plates and cocktails against panoramic views of St Paul's Cathedral and the Thames.

Comprehensive Wellness Facilities

agua spa London offers personalized treatments using Hedgerow by agua products with six core ingredients including Lemon Balm and Rosemary. The subterranean spa features steam rooms, heavenly rain showers, and a spa lounge infused with de Mamiel's Altitude Oil. Guests access a state-of-the-art gym 24 hours daily and Curzon cinema with 56 seats showing first-run releases.

Delicious Breakfast

“I thoroughly enjoyed the breakfast at Sea Containers. The selection was plentiful, offering both hot and cold options. It was refreshing to see that many items were clearly marked for gluten intolerance, a highlight for my party. The fresh atmosphere of the breakfast room kept things casual yet efficient, making mornings a pleasant start to the day.” view full review

Perfect River View

“I was lucky enough to have a room on the 14th floor with a amazing view across St. Paul's and the river. The room was spacious enough for my needs during my three-night stay, and I appreciated how meticulously clean everything was. It made unwinding after a day of exploring so much easier with such a lovely sight to greet me.” view full review

Fantastic Rooftop Bar

“One of the highlights of my stay was definitely the rooftop bar, the 12th Knot. The atmosphere was vibrant with a DJ playing great music and fine views of the city, made each visit nice. What made it even better was that I didn't have to worry about traveling back to the hotel later in the night since I was already there-it was absolutely convenient!” view full review

Relaxing Spa Experience

“The spa facilities really contributed to my stay at Sea Containers. After giving birth, I was in need of a well-deserved treat, and I found that here. Despite minor hiccups upon check-in, the options available within the spa were fantastic. It was exactly the relaxing getaway I was hoping for, and I left feeling rejuvenated!” view full review
