The Hari in London was named the 7th most sustainable hotel in the world by TripAdvisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards in 2024. The hotel has taken several steps to reduce its environmental impact.
“The Travellers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best title celebrates the highest level of excellence in travel. It’s awarded to those who receive a high volume of above-and-beyond reviews and opinions from the Tripadvisor community over a 12-month period. Out of our 8 million listings, fewer than 1% achieve this milestone.” – TripAdvisor, 2024
“The Hari’s journey to becoming one of the world’s leading sustainable luxury hotels dates back to April 2022, when Angela Montebello was appointed to realise its vision.” – TTG LuxuryÂ
The Hari, named after the owner’s father, is bold inside and out. Its plant-covered exterior happily clashes with the cream streets of Belgravia while inside interiors are designed to be remembered. – The Times
“Best for Romantic Liasions – With the flurry of London openings in recent years, you’d be forgiven for overlooking hotels such as The Hari, but this is a contemporary bolthole with an artistic temperament and loft-style bedrooms that are a pleasure to dawdle in.” – Condé Nast Traveller, 2024
“The artistically and sustainably-minded Hari Hotel borders Knightsbridge, Belgravia and Chelsea, making it one of the best five star hotels in London for travellers who like to be at the heart of the action – but also need somewhere to escape the hubbub of the capital”. – Luxury London, 2024
The Hari Art Prize is the hotel’s now annual rolling art programme, celebrating the global roster of artistic talent attracted to London.
“The Hari announces winner of annual £10k art prize – The winner of the prize, donated by The Hari’s CEO and chairman Dr. Aron Harilela, was Libby Bove with her piece, Hedgers at Midday” – Boutique HotelierÂ
“The winner of the £10,000 cash prize donated by The Hari’s CEO and Chairman, Dr. Aron Harilela, is Libby Bove with her piece, Hedgers at Midday, 2023. Runners-up Nina Ogden, with Lycan, 2024 and Jess Beaton, with her piece, Cardomine, 2024 were also recognised for their achievements and were awarded £3,000 and £1,000, respectively.” – The Hotel Magazine
“With its twinkling lights and retractable roof (a must when the heavens open mid-cocktail), The Hari’s atmospheric garden terrace is one of the hottest tables in Belgravia come summertime.” – Tatler, 2024
“Belgravia is one of the most beautiful parts of London, and one of the area’s best-loved hotels, The Hari, has teamed up with sublime Champagne house, Ruinart, to launch a stunning Summer Terrace.” – Hello! Magazine
“Their [The Hari’s] terrace is such a hidden gem, secreted away in the heart of the hotel. It’s a sun-trapped oasis which is perfect for intimate get-togethers, lunch, and sundowners. It was the perfect place, come rain or shine, as the space has a retractable roof.” – The Wedding Edition
“Belgravia’s hidden secret: the Italian local you need to know about – il Pampero has all the hallmarks of a luxurious escape!” – Tatler
“When we think of neighbourhoods with the best Italian food, Belgravia doesn’t necessarily spring to mind – but Il Pampero has changed that. ” – Condé Nast Traveller, 2023
“There’s nowhere safer for a solo diner than a hotel restaurant, especially if that restaurant feels like a hidden gem in an otherwise overwhelming neighborhood. Enter Il Pampero, an Italian restaurant located in Knightsbridge hotel The Hari.” – The Observer
“Sardelli has more than 30 years’ experience in the industry, having most recently been general manager of the St James’s Hotel and Club and the Kensington hotel in London.” – The Caterer
