Next year we plan to embrace the best of travel to the full extent that we’re allowed, spoiling ourselves rotten and enjoying the most beautiful experiences available. This London spa hotel definitely fits the bill. From the creative genius of Kit Kemp and the Firmdale Collection of hotels, Soholistic Spa Ham Yard Hotel is about beauty in every way, shape and form.

A spa with designer credentials

Characterised by the creative, luxury style of interior designer, Kit Kemp. In her hands, the hotel and spa have been turned into a feast for the senses. Artful features and beautiful fabrics provide a distinct style that’s at once playful and glamorous. Her own signature scents waft through the space, and the way it has all been organised is clearly well thought out.

A luxury London spa location

This hotel is almost a village in its own right, in the heart of Mayfair, which is obviously beautiful in itself, it’s a treasure trove of hospitality, shopping and design. There are13 independent stores featuring exquisite products and retailers, and it all revolves around a tree-filled garden with a bronze sculpture centrepiece.

A spa to spoil yourself

In many ways couples are the obvious market for this beautiful hotel, but it’s also somewhere you would happily stay with a friend or treat yourself to time alone. This is a place that’s ultimately about making you feel special, cared for and the most gorgeous version of yourself. Something we all deserve from time to time. It has a charming manicure and pedicure station that’s an experience in its own right.

Mediterranean luxury treatments at a London spa

There are two individual rooms and a double treatment room, along with a relaxation area, steam room and showers, fully equipped gym and changing rooms. In addition, like its siblings within the Firmdale hotel collection, Ham Yard Hotel has partnered with Temple Spa, the British spa product lined based on a love of Mediterranean lifestyle and ingredients. 

A world of your own

Although it’s in the centre of London, this hotel and spa have been created so that you can really relax on your stay without needing to leave its walls (and gardens). So, in addition to the spa and hotel, there are other features including a drawing room, a library, a rooftop terrace, a theatre, private event rooms and the hotel’s very own bowling alley.
