Founded by Tim & Kit Kemp, Firmdale Hotels includes eleven hotels and nine restaurants and bars across London and New York. Known for their imaginative approach to design, warm, personal service, and distinctive ability to capture a sense of place, they’ve pioneered a fresh approach to modern hospitality.

A belief that “hotels should be living things, not stuffy institutions” is brought to life across the business, from the ever-evolving interiors to the restaurants’ seasonal menus and each hotel’s cultural calendar of events.

Acknowledged as trailblazers in the industry, they were the forerunners of a new movement in hotels, championing art, craft and design at every turn and inspiring a whole generation of hoteliers and interior designers worldwide.

Regeneration is also at the heart of Tim and Kit’s ethos, and they are renowned for breathing new life into empty spaces and transforming unloved properties into award-winning luxury hotels.

Kit’s distinctive designs bring bold colour, eclectic patterns, and artisanal craftsmanship to create interiors that feel vibrant and deeply personal.
