The five-star London Marriott West India Quay hotel in London's Canary Wharf is the first in the chain in Great Britain to
introduce such a 100% ban, which includes the 301 guest rooms and suites and
47 serviced apartments, as well as the public spaces.
The move pre-empts the introduction of the government’s smoking ban
on July 1, 2007, which prohibits smoking in enclosed public spaces but
does not extend to hotel rooms.

The five-star London Marriott West India Quay hotel has today introduced a total smoking ban.
The hotel in London's Canary Wharf is the first in the chain to introduce such a ban, which includes the 301 guest rooms and suites and 47 serviced apartments, as well as the public spaces.
From today all guests and staff at the hotel will only be allowed to smoke in dedicated outdoor smoking areas.
The move pre-empts the introduction of the government’s smoking ban on July 1, 2007, which prohibits smoking in enclosed public spaces but does not extend to hotel rooms.
“We see this as a huge step forward which will enhance our guests’ experiences when visiting the hotel,” said the hotel’s general manager Paul Downing.
“We are committed to providing the highest standards of comfort and luxury to our guests, and also to creating the best possible working environment for our staff.”

Smoking is bad for health, money and time, it should be avoided at all cost. Perseverence is the key. So try the best to repel the urge of smoking again....ever.

Nice to hear especially since I don't smoke. I always stay at the Marriott Hotel when I go on a business trip.

Great news for those who are non smokers, now they have a chance to live in an environment that does not allow smokers.

Same information for all of the hotels. Walt Disney did the same.
