Como the Halkin

Kensington & Hyde Park


The chichi Halkin attracts business travellers of a minimalist and boutique bent. Behind doors hidden within curved wooden hallways, the 41 swish rooms are filled with natural light, cream walls, burl-wood panelling and large all-marble bathrooms. There’s no rear garden, though guests can use the key for nearby Belgrave Sq. A fantastic in-hotel Basque restaurant provides culinary flair.

The staff, togged up in Armani-designed uniforms, are all obliging.
