"A luxury boutique hotel where elegant, East-meets-West minimalism prevails. Service is superb."

"Each floor at this hotel near Hyde Park was inspired by the five elements. "Very modern rooms" have pale-cream fabrics, wood veneers, and "excellent marble bathrooms"."

Be sure to have a meal at Nahm, it’s the only Michelin-starred Thai restaurant outside Thailand.
BlackBook
"With just 41 rooms, the Halkin by COMO is one of London's original boutique hotels, but what it lacks in mass in makes up for in service and amenities."

Michelin Guide
"Two Victorian houses with open, modern lobby and secluded, south-facing garden terrace. Bedrooms come in bold, warm colours; 'Garden Rooms' have their own patios."
Frommer's
"Proof that London high style doesn't always come with a high price tag... All are bright and airy with large windows and simple lines, but we prefer the garden units with their own private patios."

"Outside, there's little to distinguish this white stucco Victorian from the many downscale hotels along this none-too-beautiful stretch of Cromwell Road, but inside, it's instant cheer."
Fodor's
"Despite being on the notoriously traffic-clogged Cromwell Road, this excellent little place is one of the best boutique hotels in this part of London."

Lonely Planet
"With an understated-cool design ethos, things are muted, dapper and more than a tad minimalist at 'budget boutique' 40-room Rockwell."
