Nestled in the heart of Knightsbridge, The Emory stands as a testament to modern luxury and historical charm. Opening its doors this month (April) 2024, this all-suite hotel is the latest jewel in the crown of the Maybourne Hotel Group, known for operating prestigious properties like Claridge’s, The Connaught, and The Berkeley.
The Emory’s history is rooted in its transformation by Richard Rogers and Ivan Harbour both of RSHP from a former barracks to a contemporary architectural landmark. It is the vision of the Maybourne Hotel Group who wanted to create a hub of art and culture and a new icon on the hospitality scene in London.
The interiors, crafted by a collective including Andrea Fu, Pierre-Yves Rochon, Rémi Tessier, Champalimaud Design, and Patricia Urquiola, exude elegance. The sixty light-filled suites offer a haven of comfort and style, featuring plush furnishings and subtle green tones that harmonize with the views of Hyde Park and the golden hues of sunset and adorned with bespoke artwork.
Each suite boasts a Japanese Toto toilet, twin sinks, a separate shower, and bathtub, complemented by Surrenne bath products that encourage tranquillity and rejuvenation.
Featuring the stunning penthouse by Rigby & Rigby and The Emory Park Suite crafted by the globally acclaimed André Fu, this modernist gem is a testament to meticulous design.
