Doubletree Hilton hotel is within steps of Imperial Wharf station. Now is a good time to visit because in the lobby window is displayed a large model of the ship Mauretania. The Titanic, Lusitania and Maretania are three famous grand ships from a bygone era.
The model was built for the shipbuilders Swan Hunter. The story of the Maretania is on a board. From Charles Miller Ltd.
Hotel Bedroom Prices
I asked the price of a night at the DoubleTree Hilton. They did not have a printed tariff to give me because the prices vary. I asked, what's the cheapest room tonight? I was told £99.
You want to check whether a hotel in London, or anywhere, includes breakfast. You might want to negotiate for a rate which includes breakfast, or pick the breakfast included rate if it makes your accounting easier if you are on expenses. If not, Tesco, opposite the Double Tree Hilton at Imperial Wharf, sells a good selection of sandwiches, fruits and snacks.
