Ham Yard Hotel and Haymarket Hotel, London
£75. Includes lunch.
Patrons are invited to spend the morning with the design director and co-owner of Firmdale Hotels, Kit Kemp, at Ham Yard Hotel and Haymarket Hotel.
Kit’s passion for art is present within the interior design of all Firmdale Hotels, with famous artists juxtaposed beside up-and-coming ones. Patrons will be guided through Kit’s personally chosen art collection, which includes a monumental sculpture by Tony Cragg RA, the mesmerising A Million Times installation by Humans since 1982, Martha Freud’s 32 glowing porcelain pots, along with works by Eileen Cooper RA, Alexander Calder, Sandra Blow and Howard Hodgkin, amongst many others.
Following the walk, Patrons are invited to join Kit for lunch in the stunning Shooting Gallery at Haymarket Hotel. Featuring dramatic de Gournay walls with jungle landscapes in grey sepia tones, the Shooting Gallery is furnished with an eclectic collection of furniture, including '70s Lucite tables and lamps as well as pictures by Oliver Messel, which illustrate his costume designs for a production of Antony and Cleopatra.
