We love to share art in all its forms, including music. As the days grow colder, music brings warmth and energy to every space. Throughout our hotels, we take pride in celebrating sound and supporting local talent, from intimate live performances to curated playlists in our drawing rooms that set the perfect mood. In our rooms, speakers and colorful R1S radios are essential, while record players in our suites add a touch of nostalgic charm.
From jazz evenings to musical theatre collaborations and festive carols, here are a few of our musical moments we hope you enjoy with us this winter.
Jazz is the music of intimate evenings and good company, with a relaxed rhythm that transforms any space. In New York and London, many of our restaurants and bars feature a weekly jazz ensemble. At Warren Street Bar & Restaurant, Thursdays bring the soulful sophistication of the Sam Taylor Trio, while Saturdays come alive with New Orleans Jazz Renaissance, whose rhythm and energy transport guests straight to the Big Easy. The experience is complete with our signature cocktails and seasonal snacks.
At The Whitby Bar, Saturday evenings showcase Voices of New York, an intimate vocalist-led series featuring both emerging and established artists. From Bossa Nova and jazz to blues, Broadway and cabaret, each performance is a celebration of talent and style. It is a perfect escape for music lovers and casual listeners alike.
In London, at The Soho Hotel, join our royal debut of ‘SIX The Musical’ Afternoon Tea, created in collaboration with the hit West End show. Celebrating the wives of Henry VIII, enjoy six themed pastries, including Aragon’s Crown of Honour and Parr’s Tudor Rose and Lemon Curd Macaron, alongside Tudor-style sandwiches, classic scones, and savoury bites. Raise a glass with The Ex-Wives cocktail or the non-alcoholic Lady in Waiting, and celebrate a regal, musical twist on tradition. SIX reimagines centuries of history as a high-energy pop concert, putting the queens in the spotlight and celebrating their unique stories.
At Charlotte Street Hotel, the Oscar Bar comes alive every Friday evening with DJ sets from some of London’s most exciting local talent. Sip a signature cocktail or a glass of wine and enjoy seasonal bar snacks such as Padron peppers with smoked sea salt, perfect for welcoming the weekend in style.
On Wednesday 10th December, join us at Ham Yard Hotel for Carols in the Courtyard, where the casts of Les Misérables and Oliver! will perform festive favourites alongside live music from the house band, the Ham Yard Players. Indulge in classic mince pies, hazelnut and cherry brownies, and mulled wine from Ham Yard Restaurant. While you are here, explore our intricate gingerbread village in the hotel lobby and take a moment to browse the unique boutiques in Ham Yard Village.
From jazz to musical theatre and festive carols, music at Firmdale is more than sound; it is an art form that helps to shape the spaces we love. This winter, join us in one of our hotels to celebrate the sounds of the season.
