The Crowne Plaza London – Docklands Hotel in Royal Victoria Dock is in the final phase of a £1.4m refurbishment of its 210 bedrooms. 

The refurbishment includes a complete remodel of the hotel’s accommodation offering and will feature a mix of “natural features and modern comforts.”

Other features will include blackout curtains, desk-based multimedia hubs for electronic devices, USB charging points and double glazed windows.

The refurbishment is expected to be completed in December 2014.

Joanne Taylor-Stagg, general manager, said: “The transformation of our rooms has been a fantastic addition to the offering at Crowne Plaza Docklands. Over the last few months the room interiors have been completely redesigned and renovated to offer guests the ultimate stay with all of those at-home luxuries we’re accustomed to.”
