A duo puts two cover stars on the same page: two companions booked together for one evening, whether that means a dinner for three, a hotel suite with more conversation in it or a celebration that deserves a double entrance. It works when the two women have something real in common, so Bella only pairs companions who already know each other, and she builds each pair around shared interests rather than adding two names at random.
Each companion is booked at her usual rate from the one price list, from £400 an hour each, and Bella puts both figures in one written confirmation before either companion sets out. A pair costs exactly two bookings, with no premium on top and no bundle price.
Three pairings answer most requests. Angelika and Milena are both raven haired, both tennis players and both quick with a teasing remark. Luna and Bianka share a serious interest in wine, one with firm opinions about Burgundy and the other a veteran of blind tastings, which turns any wine list into a conversation. Molly and Tina both mix a proper cocktail and both keep crates of records at home, soulful house for one and funk for the other.
The close of a long negotiation, a milestone birthday, a table at Sketch on Conduit Street where an extra chair makes the room feel like a party: duos suit celebrations. They also suit guests who simply enjoy a livelier conversation, and a duo on an unremarkable Wednesday raises no eyebrows at all. The restaurants around Mount Street and Berkeley Square seat three without a second glance.
A duo is happiest with space: a suite with a sitting room at Claridge's or The Connaught, a park view on Park Lane, or a serviced apartment with a proper dining table. If your room is on the compact side, begin with dinner out and come back later for a nightcap. Bella asks about the room when you book, simply so the evening feels relaxed from the first minute.
Each companion follows the same ladder as any single booking. For a pair, two hours means £750 per companion, a four hour dinner £1,300 per companion and an overnight £2,400 per companion. Each woman receives her own fee, in person, when she arrives, and neither journey costs extra within Zones 1 and 2. Every line is printed on the rates page, and Bella writes both figures into the confirmation so there is never any doubt.
Lining up two diaries is the only reason a duo needs more notice than a single booking. With a day in hand you can pick from almost every pairing, and the same afternoon often works midweek. The two companions arrive together or one shortly after the other, as you prefer, and Bella confirms both names and both times in a single message from the desk in Mayfair.
Guests who have never booked a pair sometimes worry about the opening. There is no need. The two companions arrive already chatting, introduce themselves by first name, and within a few minutes the three of you are deciding between champagne and a martini. Most duos begin in a hotel bar rather than a suite, which gives everyone a moment to settle before dinner, and your companions will follow your lead on the pace from there.
Friends who like spending time together bring an ease that no amount of planning can manufacture. They draw you into their jokes, carry the conversation when you would rather sit back and listen, and turn an ordinary evening into an occasion. That is the whole point of putting two cover stars on one page, and the reason Bella prefers to suggest a pairing she knows well over two companions who have never met.

You can suggest any two, and Bella will say candidly whether they suit each other. If they do not, she will propose a pairing built around one of your choices.
Yes. Hotel visits, dinners, nights out and overnights can all be booked as a duo, and the hotel check is done once for both companions.
One hour at £400 each is possible, but two hours at £750 each gives the evening room to breathe, and most duos start there.
Often midweek, less often on a Saturday. Send Bella the time and the address and she will tell you within minutes which pairs are free.
Bella tells you straight away and offers a second companion who knows the first, or the evening with one companion at her usual figure, or a new date. The choice is always yours.
A long supper, a gallery opening, a slow night upstairs: give Bella the outline and she will suggest the companion who fits it best.
