All aboard the Sunborn Yacht Hotel London

The superyacht moored by the Excel in East London is not just a four star hotel, but a veritable experience.

Fingal will boast 23 stylish cabins, all named after Stevenson lighthouses, and inspired by Fingal’s rich maritime heritage.

Cabins will feature their own private balcony, and there is a choice of standard, duplex cabin or, a suite, the Skerryvore.

This 237ft long ship will also be able to host events, thanks to its grand double height ballroom which seats 80 guests and features a moveable skylight (large enough to lower a car through!).
It will be available for hire for private celebrations and for brand and product launches.

Built in 1963 Fingal the last vessel to be built by the Blythswood Shipbuilding Company in Glasgow.
