Ham Yard Hotel tells
a joyful story
In contrast to the stately, serious milieus at many 5-Star hotels, the Ham
Yard Hotel in London's Soho neighborhood feels happy, even joyous.
Indeed, it's hard not to smile while walking through the property,
which includes 91 bedrooms and suites, 24 apartments, and a number of
retail and F&B options, to say nothing of a verdant central garden with
mature oak trees and a large bronze sculpture by Tony Cragg. Vibrant
pendant lights made of old plastic bottles and raffia hanging from
colorful wires enliven the gray walls and old marble mirrors in the bar
just off the reception area, while tufted side chairs covered in hot pink
fabric pop against the dark, floral-patterned sofas and natural marble
tables. "I'd used about every other color elsewhere," says Kit Kemp.
The patterns are just as boisterous. In the restaurant, a graphic

fabric wallcovering by Kemp is the backdrop for an eclectic collection
of art that includes a 12-foot-tall oil painting by Joe Fan, contemporary
pieces by Bruce McLean, and framed costume designs from the Paris
Opera. "You'd think (the wallcovering) is quite busy, but when you put
it up, it backs away from you," Kemp says.
The color is even more intense in the lower level bowling alley-a
design first for Kemp, who covered the lane walls and columns in a
cinnamon-colored felt punctuated by a pair of 20-foot-long pieces by
Howard Hodgkin. Along one wall, rows of vintage bowling shoes in
Perspex boxes feels like a modern art installation.
Meanwhile, in the subdued library, a limestone fireplace
mantel creates a handsome gathering spot outfitted with a fabric
wallcovering and embroidered curtains-all designed by Kemp.
"I wanted one room to look calmer and more conservative, so
you feel [as though you've arrived]," she says. "But at the same
time, it's very English and it feels tailored." As do the individually
decorated, ever-evolving guestrooms. In a welcoming two-bedroom
suite on the top floor, a tactile, blue-hued wallcovering is accented
by sumptuous rugs, funky patterned upholstery, and original
artwork. Steps away is the partially covered rooftop terrace with a
green roof, olive and apple trees, a vegetable garden, and beehives.
"It's a beautiful space that only gets better and better," Kemp says.
