COMO The Halkin

On a peaceful street in leafy Belgravia.

There are 41 Italian-inspired rooms and suites, decorated in soothing neutral tones of dark browns and creams, with spacious marble bathrooms. The suites have separate living areas, curved ceilings and large dormer windows. The signature COMO suites on the top floors are flooded with natural light from the conservatory-style windows and have spacious balconies overlooking the hotel’s gardens.

Indulge your tastebuds at the Michelin-starred Basque restaurant Ametsa, which is presided over by some of the world’s best chefs and has a menu of delicious dishes that give a modern twist to traditional Spanish cuisine. The bar offers an all-day menu of Western classics including burgers, sandwiches and salads, as well as tempting afternoon tea, tapas and cocktails.

Relax in the gardens, and enjoy a massage or an in-room spa treatment. Alternatively, yoga mats are provided in all rooms, and private yoga instruction is available, and there’s also a gym as well as personal trainers on offer- or go for a jog in nearby Hyde Park. Also close by are the glamorous shops of Knightsbridge (including iconic department store Harrods), as well as world-renowned museums and galleries- or follow in the footsteps of royalty at Buckingham Palace.
