INTRO

So much for that: the visit to the Haymarket impressed us in many ways and made a lasting impression! The Union Jack blows venerably on the traditional facade of the house in Trafalgar Square, built by John Nash in 1820. From the outside, conservatively inconspicuous, you will be more than surprised when you enter. You will be greeted by a contemporary sculpture by the artist Tony Cragg, which, with its futuristic character, stands in stark contrast to the historical facade. You will encounter the combination of tradition and history on the one hand and bold interior and contemporary design on the other in the world of the Haymarket, which is largely shaped by the celebrated creative director Kit Kemp.

THE NECTAR

Rarely will you enter a world in which it is the interplay of many well thought-out details that captivates you with all your senses. You enter your room and the acoustics change. Because of the walls covered with artistically printed fabrics, it sounds like you are stepping into a snowy landscape. The echo is swallowed, noises are pleasantly muffled. Inevitably you will feel the surfaces with your hands: pillows made of rough tweed and “inside-out” leather stitching, transparent linen curtains, smoothly polished oak and white marble. Your gaze wanders through the room and discovers the courageous and masterful composition of patterns and colors. Flowery wallpaper, infinite geometric patterns, golden upholstery rivets, colorful “inside-out” seams and also colorful tailors' mannequins and oil paintings on the walls. Everything comes together as a whole. Kit Kemp calls this contemporary folklore by placing traditional elements in a new context. Her own style has now achieved cult status and resembles a modern science.

"Every room is liking painting a new canvas, which must tell a new story."

Kit Kemp, Creative Director Firmdale Hotels

THE PULSE

The best way to discover London is with our own travel guide "„Glücklich in London“", which we at NECTAR & PULSE publish together with the Süddeutsche Zeitung! The Haymarket is in the heart of downtown, conveniently close to Buckingham Palace and the National Gallery.

But if you spend the night in the Haymarket, you are also committed to in-house enjoyment and luxury. We therefore strongly recommend that you have breakfast brought to your room and enjoy the cosiness of your rooms in a bathrobe. You will discover the 18m long pool, which feels more like an exclusive trendy bar with light installations by Martin Richman and a bar that rises like a painting by Edward Hopper. Further highlights are the afternoon tea ceremony in the library or the late evening cocktail in the Brumus Bar. London is calling!
