In 1985 Tim and Kit Kemp opened their first property, the Dorset Square Hotel and introduced the Firmdale Hotels concept to the London hotel market.
It was sold in 2002 but the hotel was reacquired last year and will reopen as part of the Firmdale collection on 18 June, adding to their other luxury boutique hotels including the Covent Garden Hotel, Charlotte Street Hotel, Haymarket Hotel, Soho Hotel and Crosby Street Hotel in New York.
The Regency townhouse has 38 bedrooms, many of which look onto the private garden square which was originally the site of Thomas Lord’s first cricket ground.
The Dorset Square Hotel’s Potting Shed bar & restaurant will open all day, serving English brasserie style cuisine using locally sourced and seasonal produce.
Address: Dorset Square Hotel, Dorset Square
