The Emory London — The Complete Guide to Belgravia's All-Suite Luxury Hotel
London's first all-suite hotel, named among The World's 50 Best Hotels 2025 in its debut year.
Tucked down a barely-marked side street off Hyde Park Corner, The Emory doesn't announce itself — and that's entirely the point. London's first all-suite hotel is a statement in modern restraint: a glass and steel architectural marvel that has quietly redefined what ultra-luxury hospitality looks like in the British capital.
A New Kind of London Luxury
London has no shortage of luxury hotels. What it has lacked — until now — is an all-suite hotel. Every room at The Emory is a suite or studio. There is no standard double, no classic twin, no entry-level room to book when everything else is full. That single decision shapes everything about the property: the pace of it, the privacy, the sense that everyone here has chosen to be here.
Opened in 2024 and operated by Maybourne Hotel Group — the same group behind Claridge's, The Connaught, and The Berkeley — The Emory represents something genuinely new for London. Not another grand dame draped in chandeliers and heritage. Something sharper, more private, and more deliberately considered. All 61 rooms are suites or studios. No exceptions.
In its very first year, The Emory was named among The World's 50 Best Hotels 2025. That's not a soft launch. That's an arrival.
It's designed for a specific kind of traveller: one who values privacy over prestige, exceptional design over heritage grandeur, and a wellness offering that treats health as a long-term investment.
What's Included in Every Stay
All-suite, all-inclusive. Every stay comes with the following as standard.
Complimentary Minibar
A fully stocked minibar, refreshed daily. At comparable London properties it's either locked, meagrely stocked, or charged at prices that feel punitive. At The Emory, it's complimentary.
24-Hour Emory Butler
A dedicated assistant, not a shared concierge — closer to a personal PA: proactive, knowledgeable, and focused entirely on your experience.
Unpacking & Pressing on Arrival
A small detail that signals the overall standard.
Electric BMW i7 House Car
Virtually silent, deeply comfortable, and available for complimentary transfers subject to availability. A zero-emission vehicle for a hotel that understands its guests are increasingly thoughtful about the footprint of their travel.
Surrenne Belgravia Access
Complimentary access to Maybourne's award-winning private members' longevity wellness club for the duration of your stay.
Five Designers, One Vision
61 suites and studios. Zero standard rooms. No suite smaller than 600 square feet. Each floor or cluster of suites has its own personality, while the overall building maintains a consistent modernist sensibility.
André Fu
Warm, layered, meditative calm. Soft tones, layered textures, and a sense of calm that feels almost meditative.
Best for: deep comfort and cocooned stillness
Patricia Urquiola
Sculptural, tactile, European modernism. Curved forms, considered material contrasts, both residential and quietly playful.
Best for: design enthusiasts and couples
Alexandra Champalimaud
Romantic modernism, warm palettes. Softer, richer materials and a sense of curated ease. New York-based Champalimaud is known for her work on The Carlyle, and her Emory suites are particularly well-suited to leisure stays.
Best for: leisure stays, celebrations, couples
Pierre Yves Rochon
Classical European refinement, precise proportions. The most traditionally luxury-coded of the five, with attention to proportion and material quality that rewards close inspection.
Best for: traditional luxury craftsmanship
Rigby & Rigby
Super-prime British restraint. The feel of a privately owned London apartment: understated, precise, and unmistakably British. For guests who find other luxury hotels slightly overdone.
Best for: extended stays; guests who want no excess
At the top of the building sits The Penthouse — the hotel's flagship suite, and one of the most extraordinary rooms in London. Rates on application — contact the reservations team directly through maybourne.com.
Three Pillars of a New London Luxury
Dining
abc kitchens by Jean-Georges Vongerichten
The Emory's dining anchor is abc kitchens — the London outpost of Jean-Georges Vongerichten's celebrated abc concept, which originated on East 18th Street in New York and helped define the 'market-to-table' movement before it became a cliché. Seasonal, ingredient-led cooking with a quietly global sensibility.
The restaurant space itself is as considered as the suites. Damien Hirst artworks are integrated into the design, giving abc kitchens a gallery-like quality that few hotel restaurants can match. Breakfast at abc kitchens is included with every stay.
Wellness
Surrenne Belgravia — Longevity, Included
Surrenne Belgravia is Maybourne's award-winning private members' club for longevity and wellbeing. It operates as a standalone members' club — the kind of place that Londoners pay significant annual fees to access. Every guest of The Emory receives complimentary access for the duration of their stay.
This isn't a hotel spa with a sauna and a menu of 60-minute massages. Surrenne's philosophy is built around the idea that physical and mental wellbeing is a long-term investment. Facilities include a pool, spa treatment rooms, and a dedicated wellness reception.
Art
The Damien Hirst Collection
Damien Hirst's relationship with The Emory isn't a standard hotel art programme — a few prints hung in corridors to satisfy the interior designer's brief. His work is woven throughout the property as a defining element of the hotel's identity. The Emory is, in part, a Hirst experience.
Two courtyard sculptures — a feminine humanoid insect and a skinless man with scissors — set the tone. Throughout the suites and public spaces, Hirst's butterfly works and floral AI paintings appear with a frequency that reinforces their status as design elements rather than decorative additions.
Belgravia, Hyde Park Corner, and Arriving Quietly
The Address
Hyde Park Corner is one of London's great geographical pivot points — where Mayfair meets Belgravia, where Hyde Park meets the city's most expensive postcodes. Step out of The Emory and you're at the edge of 350 acres of parkland. Walk in the other direction and you're in Belgravia's white-stucco streets within minutes.
The hotel's entrance is on Old Barracks Yard — a quiet, cobbled side street that most Londoners couldn't point to on a map. That obscurity is deliberate. The Emory isn't for people who want to be seen arriving at a famous address. It's for people who want to arrive, quietly, somewhere exceptional.
Arrival
Arriving at The Emory for the first time requires a small act of trust. The entrance on Old Barracks Yard is barely marked — no grand canopy, no uniformed doormen visible from the street, no name in illuminated lettering above the door. Reception is a small, glass-enclosed space that continues the architectural language of the building — clean, considered, and unhurried. There's no queue. There's no check-in desk in the traditional sense. You're expected, and everything is ready.
The Emory Butler
Every guest is assigned a dedicated Emory Assistant for the entirety of their stay. This is not the standard hotel concierge model — a shared resource you contact when you need a restaurant reservation. Your Emory Assistant is closer to a personal PA: proactive, knowledgeable, and focused entirely on your experience.
Who Stays at The Emory
The Emory's clientele skews toward guests who value privacy and discretion over status signalling. You'll find high-achieving professionals on extended business stays, wellness-focused travellers who've specifically chosen the property for Surrenne access, design and architecture enthusiasts drawn by the suite programme and the Hirst collection, and couples celebrating significant occasions who want something genuinely different from the city's traditional grand hotels.
Answers for Considered Travellers
The most common questions we hear about The Emory, answered plainly.
