Remarkable in location and setting - just two mins from Piccadilly Circus, and with a large terrace - the latest Firmdale Hotel offers the group's usual dining formula; the establishment's all-round charms, though, may well make it a real destination.
You've got to hand it to Tim & Kit Kemp, the Londoners who've built up a small but perfectly formed hotel empire, with nine establishments, stretching all the way from Soho W1 to SoHo NYC (and a second bite at the Big Apple in prospect too).
Who'd have thought you could create a whole new 'urban village' (their phrase) - complete with a large and elegant terrace for dining and drinking - in a forgotten corner of Soho?
It's not often this reviewer feels something close to astonishment on entering a new establishment, but this, dear reader, was one of those occasions.
How odd that a bastion of tradition like Claridge's has now gone all small plates and flower-to-eat, whereas this wholly new establishment doesn't really seem to have reflect any changes in the way people have eaten since, ooh, 2000.

You could make a case for Soho as the Ground Zero of rock music; the skiffle bands who plunked away in the area's clubs and coffee bars inspired The Beatles, who inspired the world.
Like an architect's drawing come to life, the ¾-acre site now houses a tree-lined piazza, a few recherché shops and a shiny new hotel; a slice of Canary Wharf in what was once the rackety heart of old Soho.
The Ham Yard hotel is the newest, and by far the splashiest, offering from the Firmdale group, owned by Tim and Kit Kemp, London's answer to Ian Schrager.
Geographically Ham Yard is in Soho, but its heart is elsewhere.

ES Food Newsletter Regular sufferers of this column will be aware that I’m obsessed with the naming of eating venues and will thus not be surprised that the new multimillion-pound Central London hotel and restaurant Ham Yard has been giving me a retinal migraine since January, when I first became aware of it.
It’s a name reminiscent of one of those commonplace taverns in Game of Thrones into which a secondary character might creep for a tankard of mead and end up being rather unsportingly disembowelled by a wildling.
I was also keen to see inside as Ham Yard Hotel has a cinema, a bowling alley and a roof garden, and I was in the market for a new London late-night champagne, titbits and general badness option now that Chiltern Firehouse has transmogrified into a sort of famous person safari park.
I booked for four people to dine at Ham Yard on a Saturday night with remarkable ease.

Covent Garden Hotel, Soho Hotel, Haymarket Hotel, Charlotte Street Hotel: all West End beauties, and all owned by the Firmdale group.
Ham Yard has all that, but adds a huge private cinema, plus bowling alley and roof garden for hotel guests or for hire.
The pattern with Firmdale hotels is that the bar attracts the ‘scene’, while the restaurants play second fiddle.
In contrast to the art, the dishes don’t stray beyond Europe.
Dishes can be a little uneven then, but overall satisfy.
