InterContinental London, The O2 *****

🎢 A spectacular staycation, literally connected to the O2 Arena. Behind its anonymous façade, this 5-star hotel knows how to impress. The spa goes big: 17m indoor pool, hot tub, sauna, steam room, ice fountain and treatment rooms. On the 18th floor, the Skybar serves up cocktails and a wide-screen panoramic view of Canary Wharf. Rooms are spacious, quiet and filled with natural light, with king size beds and floor-to-ceiling windows. As for atmospheres, several ways to disconnect: The Clipper Bar with its nautical decor, boat-shaped counter and views over the Thames. Kinaara for well-executed Indian cuisine and a spiced-up Afternoon Tea. And on the first floor, The Market Brasserie for Mediterranean menus at any time and the next morning’s breakfast.

⭐️ The highlight: the head mixologist was named one of the top 100 World Class bartenders.
