Hilton London Canary Wharf is part of the Jemstock Estate which is the gateway development to the Millennium Quarter on the Isle of Dogs.The estate is planned around a central landscape courtyard, and is bounded by Canary Wharf to north and the South Quay DLR station and track to the south.

Comprising a 15 storey, 283 bedroom hotel with a presidential suite, executive lounge, function room, boardroom and 7 meeting rooms plus business centre, as well as Living Well Express health club and 170 cover restaurant and a lounge bar at ground floor level.

The existing structure was constructed circa 1987 as suited offices but was never occupied. It was heavily damaged by the IRA bomb in 1996 and remained a partially clad skeleton until construction commenced in 2004.

The design builds on the existing structure but is not dictated to by the original building form. EPR have radically carved and extended the frame relocating cores and readdressing the mass of the building to create a 15 storey 283 bedroom hotel.

The design also readdresses the public realm under the DLR track at ground floor level to create an open an accessible environment to the Hotel.

The site presented a complex range of acoustic issues which required the team to develop the design and construction techniques to work within the constraints of the existing structure and alleviate impact of the DLR low frequency noise on the bedrooms and public spaces.

The Northern building in the estate is 142 contemporary apartments & 10 penthouses by EPR for Capital 7 Provident. EPR are currently undertaking a 100,000 sq ft office building overlooking South Quay Square to complete the estate.
