This would make an excellent proposal view! The hotel organises many proposal events, and I can see why; it\u2019s a gorgeous location, especially for city couples.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/room.jpg\" alt=\"Review: Canary Riverside Plaza\" class=\"wp-image-10599673\" title=\"Review: Canary Riverside Plaza\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/room.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/room-500x250.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/room-375x188.jpg 375w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/room-64x32.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/room.jpg\" alt=\"Review: Canary Riverside Plaza\" class=\"wp-image-10599673\" title=\"Review: Canary Riverside Plaza\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/room.jpg 900w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/room-500x250.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/room-375x188.jpg 375w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/room-64x32.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The River View Treatment suite at Canary Riverside Plaza<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having settled into our suite and enjoyed the treats left for us, it was time for a trip to the spa. Usually, spas are hidden deep in the basement of a hotel to give you a sense of escaping from the world. Still, Canary Riverside Plaza\u2019s treatment suite is situated high up on the second floor, offering stunning views over the river and an abundance of natural light, which is refreshing. I enjoyed a massage with a view \u2013 this would be ideal for a hen weekend or a quick city escape. The hotel also features a health club with a pool, gym, sauna, and steam room, all located adjacent to the main building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Eating at Canary Riverside Plaza<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Refreshed and revitalised, dinner was served for us at Quadrato Restaurant, where the lovely Cataldo attended to us. The restaurant serves an Italian-inspired menu that is light, fresh, and perfect for the sunny weather. They also serve afternoon tea, which would be an entertaining girls&#8217; afternoon or a special treat before the big day. We were treated to an empty restaurant, so we made the most of the relaxing quiet and enjoyed a delicious meal. The food was delicious, the service excellent, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves, a real retreat in the city!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Weddings at Canary Riverside Plaza<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hotel offers three wedding packages that can be tailored to your requirements. We highly recommend booking some pre-wedding spa treatments as well. The ballroom is a good size, with dark wood panelling that can be covered or customised according to your theme or palette. This would be a lovely location for a city wedding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1128\" height=\"697\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/026.jpg\" alt=\"Review: Canary Riverside Plaza\" class=\"wp-image-10599676\" title=\"Review: Canary Riverside Plaza\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/026.jpg 1128w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/026-500x309.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/026-375x232.jpg 375w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/026-64x40.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1128px) 100vw, 1128px\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1128\" height=\"697\" src=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/026.jpg\" alt=\"Review: Canary Riverside Plaza\" class=\"wp-image-10599676\" title=\"Review: Canary Riverside Plaza\" srcset=\"https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/026.jpg 1128w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/026-500x309.jpg 500w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/026-375x232.jpg 375w, https:\/\/5starweddingdirectory.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/026-64x40.jpg 64w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1128px) 100vw, 1128px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.canaryriversideplaza.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canary Riverside Plaza Hotel<\/a><br \/>46 Westferry Circus, London, E14 8RS, UK<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lighting up the wharfs and quays of East London, Canary Riverside Plaza is a modern five-star independent hotel in Canary Wharf.
