Ham Yard Hotel
London, England
Ham Yard hotel can be found in the heart of London’s theatre district of Soho, moments from Mayfair and the city’s world-class galleries and museums. The interiors are designed by Kit Kemp, founder of Firmdale Hotels, in her award-winning modern British style, defined by bold colour and a sense of luxurious homeliness.
In collaboration with Kit Kemp, Ultimate Library designed a book collection for the Ham Yard Library, Drawing Room and Suites that connects guests with London’s rich history and culture, and creates a sense of homeliness. 4500 hardcover books, categorised using brass plates, are displayed with dust jackets removed, to reveal their colourful cloth spines.

‘Libraries are always my favourite rooms, and to have a curated library gives lifelong pleasure.’
- Kit Kemp, Co-Owner & Design Director, Firmdale Hotels
We believe in the power of books to create a sense of place and new perspectives. Our bespoke book collections have a great impact on a guest’s overall experience of a hotel or resort. It’s small extras like books in rooms and library spaces that make a guest’s stay extra special, and many of our clients receive high praise for their book collections. For private clients they make a house their home.
