The Bar/Lounge at Ham Yard Hotel

"As with other Firmdale Hotels in London and New York, Ham Yard houses its own restaurant and bar with a menu that revolves around seasonal ingredients and a well-vetted wine/cocktail list"

"With 91 rooms, 24 apartments, 13 shops, a restaurant, a bar, a plethora of common areas, plus spa, gym, 190-seat cinema and even a bowling alley, this hotel can literally cater to your every whim"

"Ham Yard's emergence has not only created London’s hottest new opening, but also a courtyard space where locals come to sit and linger at the hotel’s partner shops, including Brazilian beachwear brand Frescobol Carioca and a Press London juice bar"

"To be clear that the property is more than just a spot to lounge, Firmdale has added a Soholistic Spa with thermal areas, a 188-seat cinema, 13 retail units and a vintage bowling alley shipped in from Texas"

"why not? The restaurant is excellent and the bar is as buzzing as you'd expect"

"The international business travelers and media types the property attracts will find the expected bar, restaurant, rooftop garden, gym and spa, plus a 176-seat theater and a ’50s-style bowling alley"

"Explore the boutique’s cozy library bar (complete with over-stuffed armchairs and a working fireplace), Modern British restaurant, and airy sculpture garden for an idyllic night in"

"For the fun-loving guest there's an original 1950s bowling alley and a 190-seat cinema, as well as a verdant private rooftop bar only for guests"

"Soho is full of gourmet hot spots, from Alan Yau's excellent dim sum restaurant Yauatcha, to the New York-style dive bar Spuntino, to the bohemian Maison Bertaux, London's oldest patisserie"

"The bar has psychedelic blue walls studded with countless bright-hued butterflies… and a handful of life-size crocodiles, naturally, to chime with the name"
