On the South Bank along the Thames, a short walk between Tate Modern and Waterloo Bridge
Rooms
Custom furnishings and marble bathrooms echo maritime cabin design, with wide windows framing passing river boats and the north bank.
Wellness
Tucked subterranean beneath the river path, agua Spa pairs customized skincare treatments with private steam facilities and a dedicated movement studio.
Backstory
Warren Platner conceived the 1974 building as a hotel, though it served decades as a shipping headquarters before finally fulfilling its original purpose.
Eat & drink
Sip inventive cocktails at Ryan Chetiyawardana's ground-floor Lyaness, or head up to 12th Knot for rooftop DJs and St. Paul's views.
The neighborhood
Positioned directly along the South Bank walkway, you can stroll west toward Waterloo Bridge or east toward Tate Modern in minutes.
“Once inside you’ll find the sights and textures a bit more familiar and welcoming, as velvet and leather replace hammered metal and an Art Deco undercurrent reinforces the hotel’s transatlantic aspirations.”
“Much like a chic cruise ship marooned on the South Bank, Sea Containers is slick and shiny.”
The app
