All-suite hotel with distinct designer interiors & rooftop bar
"The Emory—the latest hotel from the hospitality group that also owns and operates famed London hotels Claridge’s and The Connaught—aims to be stylishly secretive. There’s no real lobby or common space: The reception desk is housed in a small modern glass cube that can only fit one party at a time. The hotel provides complimentary transfers via black car or helicopter to all its guests. Entrance via foot rarely happens, and there are no high-profile logos or showiness. The Emory is one of the most elegant and luxurious hotels, with all rooms being suites. Their smallest offering is around 600 square feet, and their largest—the Emory Penthouse—is over 3,000 square feet. The hotel's modular layout allows multiple suites to be privately interconnected, creating self-contained ‘residencies’. The Emory also houses the Surrenne, a four floor private wellness club complete with a spa, a pool, a gym, a café, and the first ever European outpost of the famed American fitness class." - Elise Taylor
"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
"Maybourne’s first new London hotel in 50 years presents a 61-room, all-suite property with a residential tone and interiors curated floor-by-floor by different high-profile designers; guest-only rooftop bar offers 360-degree city views, and a four-floor subterranean wellness center includes a 22-meter pool. The hotel will emphasize personalized service—private airport transfers, hearty English breakfasts, and personal assistants for all guests—under the leadership of hotelier Knut Wylde." - Jennifer Flowers
"Maybourne, the operator behind Claridge's and The Connaught, goes modern with The Emory, a Knightsbridge hotel designed by the late Richard Rogers and Ivan Harbour of architectural firm RSH. They tapped several of the world's top interior designers, including Alexandra Champalimaud, André Fu, Pierre-Yves Rochon, Rémi Tessier, and Patricia Urquiola, to each respectfully put their own spin on the interiors. Also within its elevated halls will be the London outpost of Jean-Georges Vongeritchen's ABC Kitchen." - Elise Taylor
"The Maybourne Group’s first London hotel in 50 years presents a 60-suite, Richard Rogers–designed property where each floor is individually conceived by a different high-profile interior designer (including Alexandra Champalimaud, Patricia Urquiola and Pierre-Yves Rochon), giving guests a distinct look depending on their suite choice. Culinary programming includes Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s ABC concept arriving in London for the first time, with a guests-only rooftop featuring sail-like architectural triangles that provide sweeping 360-degree views above Hyde Park. Room rates were not yet announced." - Heidi Mitchell
