"We highlight Georgian and Victorian inspiration as a touchpoint for this London hotel’s look and feel." - The MICHELIN Guide
"COMO is the most quietly luxurious hotel group you’ve probably never heard of. It’s been around since 1991 with Zen-dedicated locations in Bali, Thailand, Bhutan, and more, and its forty-one-bedroom central London property is so discreet that until recently, we didn’t even know it was there. And that’s the idea. The exterior could be another sophisticated building common to the neighborhood, but stepping inside is like stepping into another world. Guest room doors and corridor walls are indistinguishable from one another, flowing in an undulating line of textured wood to mimic walking through a forest. The rooms are almost like sensory deprivation tanks—in the best way possible. Creamy walls, creamier carpets, white sheets, touches of earthy mahogany, and blackout curtains mean your bedroom is a place to rest, recharge, and maybe eat in. Room service at the Halkin is top-notch (and faster than any room service we’ve ever had). Sitting down to dinner wrapped up in soft hotel robes before tumbling into bed after a long day traipsing the city is how we like to vacation."
"The perfect-scoring staff at this hotel in Belgravia near Hyde Park "go out of their way to do anything and everything to make your stay terrific"—all while wearing uniforms designed by Giorgio Armani. The weathered brick and Portland stone building has interiors colored to evoke the five elements. Rooms, reached via a corridor of black corrugated wood paneling, are mostly in shades of white with accents of brown and purple, and have Sapele hardwood veneers and Egyptian cotton linens. Nahm offers contemporary Thai cuisine like quail salad with sour-plum leaves."
"The chic, modern Halkin has elegant bedrooms, a private gym and contemporary Basque cuisine. It is set on a peaceful street, 10 minutes' walk from the shops of Knightsbridge. It is a glamorous London hotel about 800 metres from Hyde Park. Its stylish rooms have a marble bathroom, free Wi-Fi and 24-hour room service. The Michelin-starred Ametsa with Arzak Instruction serves contemporary Basque cuisine, and The Halkin Bar offers cocktails, afternoon tea and an inventive tapas menu. The Halkin offers access to COMO Shambhala Urban Escape, an Asian-inspired spa 5 minutes' walk away. Hyde Park Corner Tube Station is a 3-minute walk away." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
"Many of the world’s most stylish hotels are heavy on the public spaces, pouring money into lounges, libraries, drawing rooms, even private cinemas, while relegating the paying guests to cramped, uninspired rooms. How this works as a business proposition is quite beyond our understanding, but in this case it’s irrelevant — London’s Halkin hotel turns this stereotype inside out. Here the public spaces amount to little more than a small but handsome lobby and bar (and of course a restaurant, of which more later), while the rooms get the star treatment." - Tablet Hotels
