Background
Sea Containers London is a luxury lifestyle hotel that blends modern design by Tom Dixon with the elegance of a nautical theme inspired by 1920s trans-Atlantic cruise liners.
The hotel is located on the South Bank of the River Thames in London. It is housed in the iconic Sea Containers House, just a short walk from landmarks like the Tate Modern and Shakespeare’s Globe. After a recent refurbishment, the hotel has 354 bedrooms and award-winning bars, an exceptional restaurant, as well as a very busy events operation.
Sea Containers belongs to Lore Group, an international hospitality company that specializes in designing, transforming, managing, and operating hotels, restaurants, and bars across Europe and the United States, with headquarters located in London and New York.
