There’s a (really fancy) hotel opening in SW London next year

The Emory is about to land in London and we have a feeling it’s going to take the city by storm. It’s the newest project by the Maybourne hotel group who already have some of the finest hotels on their roster (Claridge’s, The Connaught and The Berkley are all under their umbrella). It’s also the first new opening for the group in over half a decade and they’re back in style.

It’ll be opening in Belgravia (Old Barrack Yard) in spring ’24, and is likely to be every bit as beautiful as its three predecessors. In fact, the group has said that “The Emory is at once a striking architectural masterpiece and a discreet private residence. A hub for art, culture and contemporary cuisine – where sanctuary-like spaces give way to soaring views over the cityscape.” Fancy. The design of the hotel was done by the late Sir Richard Rogers and Ivan Harbour who, together, have created a 9 floored stunner. Each of those floors have been individually designed by different interior designers, giving The Emory a charming, changing personality as you ascend.

Though the rooms- sorry ‘suites’- will of course be the main attraction, The Emory will be a lot more than mere accommodation. Two Michelin starred chef, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, will be bringing his abc brand to the hotel, where he’ll be taking inspiration from three of his NYC based restaurants. And there’ll be The Emory Bar for an after dinner nightcap. It’ll even house 4 floors an exclusive private members health and wellness club, Surrenne, which guests at the hotel will have complimentary access to.

On top of all of that, there’s also ‘The Emery Standard’:

• Two-way transfer from London’s Private airfields, London’s International airports, and St Pancras International
• Daily English breakfast served in-suite or at Jean-Georges’ abc kitchens
• In-suite private bar stocked with seasonal tipples and nibbles
• Exclusive access to The Emory’s private rooftop ‘Bar 33’ and the ‘The Emory Cigar Merchants’
• Complimentary membership to Surrenne for the duration of your stay, a new paradigm in wellness and longevity
• Personalised services provided by your Emory Assistant

So… Staycation, anyone?
