New bar at The Halkin in London offers intellect, intimacy

Now open in London is the NEW Assouline Culture Lounge at The Halkin.  The hotel’s lobby bar has been transformed to showcase some of Assouline’s most iconic coffee table books, including collections in fashion, art, photography, travel, architecture, and design.  The Halkin has long been one of the city’s best-kept secrets, nestled among the stately Georgian facades of Belgravia, minutes from Harrods.  Passersby now have the perfect place to stop for a midday or evening break. While enjoying signature cocktails and other light bites, they can peruse the beautiful books and other antiquities on display.  To bring the literature to life, the lounge will host a series of events with selected authors later this year.

We love the new concepts. Can’t wait to stop by and grab a glass of wine… and unwind after a Harrods shopping spree. ;-)
