Four-star yacht hotel offering Sunborn London opens in Royal Victoria Docks
A new four-star hotel has opened in London, with the Sunborn London giving guests the chance to sleep on a luxury yacht moored in the East End's Royal Victoria Docks.
Operated by ISS Hotel Division London, the nautical hotel harks back to a bygone area through the use of teak wood panelling, a standout glass staircase and vast decked areas, which provide views across the London skyline.
The hotel offers a choice of 136 yacht bedrooms and suites, while the property also features a restaurant, auditorium and cinema club, conference rooms, an Elemis day spa, private terraces and a Skylounge with private decking catered towards events.
The Sunborn will predominantly look to appeal to corporate clients, given its close proximity to the ExCeL, London City Airport and Canary Wharf.
Sunborn’s yachts, with another in operation in Gibraltar, are designed to meet environmental EU standards. For example, the hotel yachts are designed with zero discharge and emission policy and do not use engines or generators while in mooring. The policy also allows hotel offerings to operate in unique locations without negatively impacting on environmental conditions.
The Sunborn is not the only nautical hotel to spring up in London in recent times, with Morgans Hotel Group creating a luxury property along the Southbank, which takes inspiration from shipping containers.
