Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel is a luxury 5-star hotel in London, England. It is located at 46 Westferry Circus inCanary Wharf. The hotel has 142 rooms and suites containing large bay windows overlooking theRiver Thames. ItsAncient Egyptian inspired design by Renton, Howard, Wood & Levin, based on earlier work byPhilippe Starck,[1] features a curvedpatinated copper roof.[2] This bold architecture was seen as a departure from the previous conservatism of theFour Seasons group, who built it asFour Seasons Hotel London at Canary Wharf.[3]
It is owned by the Monaco-based billionaire property developerJohn Christodoulou.[4]
The mixed-use site has been the subject of much litigation and controversies between the landlord and leaseholders. In 2016, the residential leaseholders won the right to have a court appointed manager installed due to a lack of financial transparency, extortionate service charges and a failure to maintain the estate by landlordYianis Group.[5] Over 100 of the residents were threatened with defamation for appealing to judges for the removal of the landlord with a section 24 manager. However, Christodoulou began to "chip away at the manager’s powers, costing leaseholders £1m in legal fees in 22 proceedings", eventually forcing the first court appointee to quit on health grounds.[6]
