If you fancy spending some time on a luxury super yacht this summer but don’t think you have the budget or the time to charter one for a fortnight in the Caribbean, then this might be your next best option. London’s first super yacht hotel has officially arrived – Sunborn London
The 4-Star Deluxe yacht hotel incorporates 138 spacious guest rooms over 5 floors including several suites, along with an elegant reception area, bar and lounge, fine-dining restaurant, banqueting facilities, auditorium, conference rooms, and a three-level event venue with outdoor terraces facing towards Canary Wharf and the Siemens Crystal. Sunborn London is sure to become an important landmark in one of the city’s most affluent commercial areas.
We think that staying at this modern water-borne hotel might have the same vibe as going on a cruise, except without even leaving the city – possibly not the most positive of ideas, but we will reserve judgement for a later date. Moored at Royal Victoria Dock, the riverside location is picturesque and convenient for Canary Wharf, Greenwich Market, City Airport and events at the nearby O2 and ExCeL exhibition centres. Most cabins come with private balconies and separate lounges, the reception boasts a glamorous spiral staircase and there is a spacious restaurant that seats up to 80 people.
Prices for the best rooms remain unconfirmed but a number of entry level rooms will be available from £180 a night. For more information visit: sunbornlondon.com
