“Discreet Belgravia secret, quietly luxurious”
Como the Halkin is called one of classy London's best-kept secrets — discreet, small and intimate in a quiet spot ideal for Hyde Park morning runs. Suites with balconies suit families, and business travelers call it the best for silence and perfectly comfortable rooms; repeat guests keep returning. It is a little dated, say two reviewers, though rooms stay spacious and clean. The only outright disappointment is breakfast, called a letdown once. For hushed luxury near the park, guests just love it.
