We recently filled you in on Firmdale’s Haymarket Hotel and its fabulous private townhouse. Firmdale’s iconic quirky hotels—all designed and owned by Kit Kemp—are some of our favorites, and The Haymarket’s sister hotel, The Soho, is the perfect spot if you’re looking for the terrace of your dreams with breathtaking views of the capital.   

The Soho Hotel 

The Soho Hotel is located on a quiet street in the Richmond Mews right in the heart of London’s entertainment district, meaning you’ll be very close to all the action but removed enough to enjoy some peace and quiet from the bustle of the Big Smoke. The hotel welcomes families and is a great spot from which to do some sightseeing. We think couples will particularly enjoy The Soho’s romantic, tucked-away vibe. As unbelievable as it sounds, you might forget you’re in the middle of one of the world’s largest cities...that is, until you look out your window at the phenomenal views.  

Better yet, why not enjoy the views from your own private terrace? The suites on the hotel’s fifth floor all feature beautiful private terraces, and they’re wonderful options. However, we want to highlight the newly refurbished Terrace Suite, which we think is a superb place to enjoy views of London on any day of the year...but most especially on New Year’s Eve!

The Soho’s Terrace Suite 

The Terrace Suite is located on the top floor of The Soho and is the hotel’s most premium accommodation, especially since it has been recently renovated. Individually designed by Kit Kemp in her fresh and modern English style, the suite is spacious to say the least at over 2,800 square feet. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed, and the living and dining rooms feature high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows. While the suite is a one-bedroom, it can also be interconnected to become a larger two-bedroom suite.

The master bedroom features a hand-embroidered headboard that pays homage to Soho’s local music scene, which was created in collaboration with fashion designer Clio Peppiatt. Every last detail has been thought out, down to the RikRak bath products, also designed by Kit Kemp, in the stunning marble bathroom. 

The real star of the Terrace Suite, however, is its gigantic wrap-around terrace. After all, it’s in the name! The terrace is the perfect place to enjoy breakfast or drinks on a daily basis, enjoying unforgettable views of the city including The Shard and the London Eye across the Soho rooftops.  

This outdoor space would be a luxury in a major metropolis on any day of the week, but it’s also important to note that you can see London’s iconic New Year’s Eve fireworks from the Terrace Suite. As of now, the Terrace Suite is still available over New Year’s Eve, but it’s sure to book up fast, so why not treat yourself to a New Year’s Eve you’ll never forget?
