CROWN PLAZA, or in fact the Glasgow-based BDL Group, just got their act together in time and officially launched the former Holiday Inn London Docklands ExCel with its new upgraded title three days before the opening of WTM. The move to the Crowne Plaza brand follows an external and internal re-branding and refurbishment of public areas, guestrooms and the conference and banqueting facilities giving the hotel, only opened in May 2003, a completely new image. The 210-room property hotel benefits from an ideal location at Victoria Dock, offering easy access to the ExCel exhibition centre, London City Airport and Canary Wharf. The Docklands Light Railway is just a few minutes walk from the hotel, making central London readily accessible.
