Third London hotel for InterContinental
InterContinental is to open its third London hotel in 2015, next to O2 Arena.
The 452-room InterContinental London The O2 will be managed by Arora Hotels but operate under a franchise agreement with Meridian Hotel Operations.
It will have a 3,000 metres square open-plan hotel ballroom, which is claimed to be the largest pillar-free ballroom in Europe, and a sky bar with 180-degree views over Canary Wharf and the Thames.
