The Halkin turns 20 this autumn and to celebrate the boutique hotel will launch a special series of events to be held throughout the month of September. As well as a pop-up Culture Lounge, there will be a special Afternoon Tea on offer and three new suites will be unveiled.

Guests and non-residents will be able to browse this bespoke library of new and limited editions and see recent titles brought to life through a series of literary events with selected authors.
The Afternoon Tea menu featuring creations by Pierre Hermé Paris, pronounced the ‘Picasso of Pastry’ by Vogue will run through to the end of October.
