Overview
The Halkin is a haven in the heart of London's Belgravia. This innovative offering from COMO Hotels and Resorts is hidden on a quiet street a few hundred yards from Hyde Park Corner. It promises discreet luxury where service is efficient and intimacy matters. Yet the look is elegantly contemporary, and the boutique-size remains enduringly appealing. It is a place to relax and be waited on, to sleep and be reinvigorated, where serenity is proved the essence of the hotel experience.
Bespoke Italian design is combined with subtle nuances of Oriental influence. Comfort is fundamental and exquisite; be enveloped by delicate Egyptian linens of the highest thread-count, complimenting the oversized beds of the 24 rooms and 17 suites. Rooms are replete with soft carpets and warm wood paneling, and boast some of the largest bathrooms in London, lined with floor to ceiling marble and the furnishings are colored by a soft palette of creams and gentle, muted browns. The Halkin's rooms are equipped with the most up-to-date technological features; both interactive ETV and high-speed internet access are standard, and from your bedside console, enjoy the ability to dim lights or activate your 'do not disturb' sign. Be the centre of our attention, where Armani-clad staff promise service that is both intuitive and intelligent and guests can be assured of a guarded, perfect privacy.
