Sleep good. Do good.
We are pleased to share that the Good Community Vessel planning application has now been validated by Newham Council and is available to view and comment on via the Newham Planning Portal under reference 25/02185/FUL.
The proposal represents an exciting next step in the regeneration of Royal Victoria Dock, delivering a new landmark vessel that combines hospitality, community, and water based activity.
Key benefits:
The proposal for the Good Community Vessel would secure a range of planning benefits, including:
-
A 225-room hotel Vessel supporting further regeneration of the dock.

Accessible waterfront public realm, with new boardwalks, bridges, seating areas, and landscaping.

Inclusive community-focused water amenities, such as a lido, kayak and paddleboard hire, clubhouse facilities for open-water swimmers and wellness and health facilities.

Public-facing facilities within the vessel and outdoor terrace, providing new food & beverage and meeting spaces.

Creation of 80–100 new full-time equivalent jobs across hospitality, administration, and support roles, with an estimated GVA impact of £3.5–4.4 million per year.
-
Expansion of the Good Training Programme to support an additional 80–100 local trainees annually generating an estimated £980,000 in social value each year.
-
Dedicated funding and management structures to ensure safe and ongoing maintenance and high environmental and operational standards for upkeep of the facilities.

A sustainable design targeting BREEAM Excellent, closed loop water-sourced heat pump technology, and photovoltaic panels. The proposal is car-free, promoting walking, cycling, and public transport.

Welcome to Good Hospitality Group’s consultation website, where you can learn more about its innovative plans for a new architectural designed hotel vessel with public water based facilities at Royal Victoria Dock.
Good is in our name because it is in our nature. Good Hotels are a social business, that means we champion people by reinvesting our profits to help them realise their potential. Whether that's sending children to school who would otherwise not get an education, or giving opportunities to adults to retrain to work in hospitality. It's simple: the more people stay with us, the more we can give. And the more we can give, the more good we can do. Here are some of the ways that together we are making a difference.
We are unveiling our future plans for a sustainable and purpose-built hotel vessel alongside an enhanced programme of community initiatives. We’ll be hosting a drop-in exhibition event, where you can learn more about our plans for the future, speak to members of the project team, and share your thoughts.
We want to hear from all stakeholders on our emerging proposals for the project. All your feedback will be carefully considered by the project team before an application is finalised and submitted to Newham Council.
Plans for the Good Hotel vessel have now been submitted to Newham Council and can be viewed in full on the planning portal. Thank you for taking the time to engage with us, should you have any questions about our proposals do get in touch.
We welcome the opportunity to discuss our plans with you.
