The Emory

In-Depth Review of the Emory Hotel in London - AFAR

"Opened in April 2024 as a discreet, quiet-luxury all-suite property next to Hyde Park, this 61-suite hotel pairs a glass-and-steel tower by Richard Rogers with a soft, residential aesthetic and resort-level amenities. Guests arrive via a back-alley entrance and town car transfers (included in the rate) for maximum privacy, then find suites by five different designers—including Alexandra Champalimaud, André Fu, Pierre-Yves Rochon, Patricia Urquiola, and Rigby & Rigby—each favoring earth tones, natural materials, balcony access, roomy soaking tubs, and minimalist, sometimes art-free interiors. Service is precise but unostentatious (concierge WhatsApp, on-call helpers, house car), and the on-site offerings are geared to couples, wellness-focused visitors, and business travelers who want leisure: daily-restocked minibars, access to extensive subterranean wellness facilities, a guests-only rooftop bar with horizon views, and connections to sister-property dining. Rooms start around $2,590, positioning the hotel as a high-end, low-key urban retreat." - Heidi Mitchell
