THE EMORY
History & Story
The Emory is London’s first all-suite hotel, and a modern architectural masterpiece designed by the late Richard Rogers and Ivan Harbour of RSHP. The hotel with 61 suites is the fourth property by Maybourne in London, alongside Claridge’s, The Connaught and The Berkeley. This is the group’s sixth hotel, including its two international properties The Maybourne Beverly Hills and The Maybourne Riviera.
The Emory heralds a new standard of contemporary design and discreet ‘quiet‘ luxury to the capital, delivering an intimacy and calm more usually associated with residential settings, including a discreet private entrance on Old Barrack Yard, nestled between Belgravia and Knightsbridge.
The Emory is also home to abc kitchens from renowned chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, The Emory Rooftop Bar, on the tenth floor with its spectacular views of London and The Emory Cigar Merchants. Guests staying at The Emory also have access to Surrenne, a private members club for wellbeing and longevity.
