The Emory
/ About
The Emory opened in 2024 as London's first all-suite hotel, occupying a landmark building designed by the late Richard Rogers and Ivan Harbour of RSHP at Old Barrack Yard, Belgravia. Its 61 suites and studios were appointed by a roster of designers including André Fu, Pierre Yves Rochon, Alexandra Champalimaud, and Patricia Urquiola, with the public spaces conceived by Rémi Tessier, whose warm palette of leather, marble, and bronze runs through every floor of the building.
For private events, the hotel offers a handful of intimately scaled spaces rather than the conventional hotel ballroom model. The Courtyard on the ground floor is the principal hire venue: enclosed beneath a glass canopy and anchored by a bespoke cascading centrepiece tree crafted by Frener & Reifer, it holds up to 80 standing guests and 30 for a seated dinner, with a music licence until 1am and a PA system in place. Above it, the tenth-floor glass pavilions house both The Emory Rooftop Bar and The Emory Cigar Merchants — two distinct rooms with panoramic 360-degree views across the London skyline, leather armchairs, and a copper-clad fireplace in the Cigar Merchants.
Residents and their guests access Surrenne Belgravia, the hotel's private members' wellness club spanning four floors, including a 22-metre skylit swimming pool, private spa cabanas, and a dedicated Tracy Anderson studio. The property sits seconds from Hyde Park and is named in The World's 50 Best Hotels 2025.
