High-spec residential feel that's quieter than Central London
Canary Wharf's futuristic cleanliness and safety
En bref : A confused 'boutique' hotel that feels more like a high-end corporate apartment block, recently resurrected after a four-year closure.
Évalué par @quincyslifestyle : Checked into Lincoln Plaza for a solo trip and I'm obsessed. The room design is so chic with the gold textures, and I spent way too long in that marble shower. It’s the perfect spot to just disconnect and feel fancy in London.
Ce que les clients qui ont séjourné ici ont dit
The hype
Clean, modern, and reliable, but lacks the 'Curio' character promised by the brand.
Reality check
You might hear the DLR trains screeching past if you're on the wrong side of the building.
You need to be in Canary Wharf for business
You absolutely must have a swimming pool
You prefer modern, sterile safety over creaky Victorian charm
Propreté et entretien
9
Housekeeping: Generally reliable daily service, though some reports of 'hit or miss' restocking of tea/coffee.
Bathroom hygiene: Sparkling. The hotel was closed for 4 years so bathrooms feel relatively unworn.
Maintenance: Good condition overall, though some 'odd' layout choices in rooms remain unfixable.
Linens & towels: Standard Hilton crisp white linens; towels are plentiful.
Odors & scents: Neutral to fresh; no lingering smoke or mustiness reported.

Génie de demande de chambre – copier & coller
“I am a light sleeper. Please assign a room on a high floor (7+), facing away from the DLR tracks/South Quay station. I would prefer a room with a standard layout, avoiding the 'long hallway' configurations.”

Conseils d'initiés
✨
Walk to the 'Crossrail Place Roof Garden' nearby—it's free, stunning, and often empty.
✨
The 'Food Store' grocer advertised sometimes doesn't exist or is understocked; rely on the nearby Tesco Express.
✨
Use the South Quay DLR for quick hops, but walk to Canary Wharf station for the Elizabeth Line (it's much faster to Heathrow/Soho).
5 choses à savoir avant de partir
💡The 'Curio' branding is a stretch; it feels like a nice Hilton inside a block of flats.
💡The 'Food Store' restaurant is decent but soulless; you are better off walking 10 mins to Dishoom or Hawksmoor.
💡The walk to the tube can be windy and cold—Canary Wharf is a wind tunnel.
💡You might be sharing the elevator with residents carrying groceries.
💡The lobby bar closes earlier than you'd expect for a London hotel.
