Hilton Worldwide has announced plans to refurbish Hilton London Docklands Riverside and rename the property as DoubleTree by Hilton London Docklands. It will join ten other DoubleTree by Hilton hotels in Greater London.

The hotel will remain open during the redevelopment, which is expected to be complete by the end of 2015. The hotel will operate under the DoubleTree by Hilton brand starting in spring 2015.

Renovations planned include a refurbishment of the hotel's 378 guestrooms, reception area, ferry entrance, 16 meeting rooms, Terrace Restaurant, Terrace Lounge Bar and kitchen.

DoubleTree by Hilton Docklands is located at 265 Rotherhithe St. A complimentary ferry service (for hotel residents) operates between the hotel and Canary Wharf which is a short walk from Canary Wharf tube. It is around 20 minutes from London City Airport. The hotel has parking facilities for up to 100 cars.
