Maybourne Hotel Group has announced the opening of The Emory in London. The new hotel joins Claridge’s, The Connaught and The Berkeley, marking the group’s fourth hotel in the English capital when it opens in winter 2023. This will be the group’s sixth hotel, including its two international properties The Maybourne Beverly Hills and The Maybourne Riviera.
According to Gianluca Muzzi, CEO of the Maybourne Hotel Group, this is the group’s first new London property in 50 years. The Emory, a modern architectural masterpiece designed by the late Richard Rogers and Ivan Harbour of architectural firm RSHP, has a private, understated entrance on Old Barrack Yard and is located in Knightsbridge.
With its striking “sails” structure soaring above the treetops of Hyde Park, this all-suite hotel will have 60 suites set over nine floors complete with a penthouse designed by Rigby & Rigby. Each floor will showcase the esthetic of a different interior designer, including Alexandra Champalimaud, André Fu, Pierre-Yves Rochon, Rémi Tessier and Patricia Urquiola.
Offering 360-degree views of the capital, the hotel’s rooftop will be dedicated to hotel guests only. The progressive spirit of The Emory is also showcased in the hotel’s culinary offering, with Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten introducing his ABC concept of fresh, local and conscious cuisine to London for the very first time from his beloved Manhattan outpost.
Beneath ground, a newly created innovative wellness space, with a 72-foot pool, will be set across four floors for guests of The Emory.
Knut Wylde, in addition to his role as general manager of The Berkeley, will hold the same position at The Emory.
