Hotel Ham Yard London

In the midst of Soho and moments from Mayfair, Ham Yard has an urban village feel. The hotel revolves around a tree-filled garden with a bronze sculpture centrepiece by Tony Cragg. Interiors are designed by Kit Kemp in her award-winning modern British style.

Alongside the hotel’s 91 individually designed bedrooms and suites are 24 apartments, 13 independent stores and a restaurant and bar with outdoor dining. There is a drawing room and library, rooftop terrace, spa and gym, theatre, private event rooms and bowling alley.

Ham Yard is urban renewal at its best. Previously a deserted ¾ acre site, it has been transformed into an all-new village reopening historic Ham Yard and connecting Great Windmill and Denman Streets via a tree-filled public thoroughfare.

The hotel is in the heart of theatreland and is surrounded by Soho’s edgy bars, cafes and shops. Yet just a block away there is Mayfair with its array of sophisticated international luxury stores along Regent Street and Bond Street. World-class attractions, galleries and museums can be reached from the hotel’s central London location.

PRIVATE EVENTS & MEETINGS

THE CROC BOWLING ALLEY
The Croc is a spectacular private events space which houses an original 1950’s bowling alley, stylish lounge, bar and dance floor. Imported from Texas and manufactured by the iconic Brunswick company, the monochrome bowling ball returns include original features such as hand warmers and visible return runs.

Back-lit bowling balls, vintage bowling shoes and bowling pin lamps sit alongside two large scale Howard Hodgkin artworks. The silver baby grand piano and South African made sofas give a lounge feel.

Bowlers bowl into a suspended brick wall with flickering lights and can choose to have UV pins and shoelaces. Three driftwood crocodiles scour the wall at the back of the dance floor.

DIVE BAR
The Dive Bar is a large, neon-lit bar area servicing all of the events spaces. It features a giant orange juicer and a range of eclectic artwork and furnishings selected by Kit Kemp.

THE ROOF TERRACE
On the 4th floor of the hotel there is a large, leafy roof top garden with sweeping views over the London skyline. There is a lounge area scattered with Whitman benches, upholstered seating and a bar.

Watched over by two ancient olive trees and surrounded by apple and pear fruit trees, the garden blooms all year round with seasonal flowers from poppies and lemon verbena to jasmine, creating a wild meadow.

Raised beds made of railway sleepers and picket fencing form salad, herb and vegetable gardens, its produce served in the restaurant’s daily specials. During the summer months, strawberries, gooseberries, broccoli, kale and thyme can be found growing.

Placed at the back of the garden sit two bee hives which are tended to by a dedicated bee keeper. With over 600 bees in residence, the honey is used by the bar staff in the cocktail menu. The Roof Terrace at Ham Yard Hotel will hold 100 people for a reception
