Opened in 1991, COMO The Halkin was the first property in the COMO Hotels and Resorts portfolio. Recently reopened following its renovation, COMO The Halkin, discreetly located in the heart of London's leafy Belgravia, a stone's throw from Hyde Park and Knightsbridge, promises an elegant hideaway for discerning travellers exploring the city. Regarded by loyal regulars as a home-away-from-home, the luxury hotel is famed for its discreet service, timeless design and Asian-inflected style, with 41 elegantly appointed rooms and suites.

COMO Metropolitan London is a contemporary oasis located just minutes away from some of the city's most glamorous shopping neighbourhoods, including Mayfair and Knightsbridge. All suites overlook Hyde Park, the green heart of London. The hotel's Japanese-Peruvian restaurant, Nobu, is a vibrant destination for flamboyant cuisine. For a more serene moment, COMO Shambhala Urban Escape offers a full range of holistic therapies, yoga, and a private gym.
