The Gantry London, Curio Collection By Hilton

The Gantry London, Curio Collection By Hilton Overview

First Impressions

Walking into The Gantry London, Curio Collection By Hilton, you immediately get that this isn’t your typical chain hotel — there’s something distinctly modern and purposeful about the whole place. The lobby feels fresh and uncluttered, which honestly was a relief after navigating London‘s busy streets. What struck me right away was how the staff seemed genuinely pleased to see guests, not just going through the motions. This four-star property sits in Newham, and I’ll be honest — it’s not central London, but that actually works in its favor.

Location & Getting Around

Here’s the thing about staying in E20 — you’re basically in the heart of Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, which means you’ve got all this green space and modern development around you. The Westfield Stratford City shopping center is practically next door, and if you need to get into central London, the transport links are actually brilliant. Stratford station is a short walk away, and from there you can reach Bond Street in about 15 minutes on the Central line. Couples seem to really love this spot (the hotel mentioned they rate the location 9.2), and I can see why — it feels like you’re staying somewhere special rather than just another tourist area.

The Room Experience

My room had floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out over the Olympic Park, which was pretty spectacular, especially in the evening when everything’s lit up. The design feels contemporary without being cold — lots of clean lines but with warm touches that make it feel welcoming. The bed was properly comfortable (you know how hit-or-miss hotel beds can be), and the bathroom had this great rainfall shower that I definitely didn’t want to leave. What I appreciated was the attention to small details — good lighting for reading, plenty of charging points, and blackout curtains that actually work.

Dining & Amenities

The breakfast buffet is where this place really shines, honestly. It’s not just the usual continental spread — they’ve got proper cooked options, fresh pastries, and even some local touches that show they’re thinking beyond just filling you up. The restaurant area has these big windows that flood the space with natural light, making morning meals feel less rushed and more civilized. I mean, when you’re paying London hotel prices, you want breakfast to feel worth it, and this one does.

Why Guests Love It

What makes The Gantry work is that it gives you the best of both worlds — you’re staying somewhere that feels special and modern, but you’re not paying central London prices or dealing with central London crowds. The Olympic Park location means you can actually go for a proper walk or run in the morning, which is pretty rare when you’re staying in the city. The staff clearly take pride in the place, and it shows in everything from how quickly they respond to requests to how well-maintained everything feels. It’s the kind of hotel that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something rather than just booked the obvious choice.

London hotels keep guests close to gallery quarters, Michelin markets, and tube connections.
