The Ham Yard Hotel has 91 rooms and suites and 24 residential apartments (with Boffi kitchens) and have been individually designed by Kit Kemp. Built in a courtyard this urban village does not feel like Soho, but rather a secret community hidden away from the hustle & bustle. Each features dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the greenery of the courtyard or the London skyline. Comfort is key to a Firmdale bedroom: “There is always a good reading light by a comfortable chair, a really good desk you can work at, and an end-of-bed footstool to help with putting on your shoes. I want people to feel good when they stay with us,” says Kemp. Bathrooms are a sophisticated mix of granite and oak, and launching at Ham Yard is Firmdale’s new amenities line, RikRak, ranging from shampoo and conditioner to pillow spray and candles—all designed by Kemp and made in England, and featuring light scents of gardenia and green leaf balanced by orange flower blossom and bergamot.
Designed by the owner Kit Kemp, her strong eye for detail is evident through quirky paintings, contrasting wallpapers and a variety of perfectly patterned upholstery. Although the varied interior may not usually be to everyone’s taste, the mixture of designs unexpectedly compliment each other. The combination of vibrant colours, patterns and textures radiate a warm and energetic feel. Kemp’s distinctive interior design is unique and visually stunning, it seems impossible to leave the hotel feeling uninspired. Offering a restaurant, bar and fitness centre, Ham Yard Hotel is located in London, just 3 minutes’ walk from Piccadilly Circus. It also has a garden, terrace and sauna, and massages can be arranged on site at an extra cost. Free WiFi access is available throughout. Book a room now!
