The Emory

The Emory

The Emory sits in Belgravia, a hotel that opened in 2024 with nothing inherited and nothing to restore, its 61 suites and studios spread across fifteen floors, each fitted out by a different designer, among them André Fu and Patricia Urquiola, so interiors vary from one suite to the next. Breakfast is not queued for; it arrives in-suite or at Jean-Georges' abc kitchens, where the courtyard now runs a summer pop-up of tacos and margaritas wheeled over on a trolley, a looser register than the hush usually found two kilometres from central London near Hyde Park Corner. What separates it from most five-star London hotels is Surrenne Belgravia, a private club for longevity and wellbeing that guests can actually use rather than merely glimpse. Rooms run from a compact 538 square feet up to a 700-square-foot suite with its own balcony, each fitted with a 65-inch television, an espresso maker and a stocked minibar, useful for anyone staying long enough to settle rather than just sleep. Pets under fifteen pounds are welcome in designated rooms, valet parking runs sixty-five pounds a day, and a five percent service charge applies throughout. This suits someone drawn to a hotel with nothing to prove by age and who will actually use a wellness membership rather than let it lapse; it will do little for anyone who needs the reassurance of a hotel with decades of stories already attached, since here everything, deliberately, is new. Named among The World's 50 Best Hotels 2025, in its first full year open, The Emory has already stopped being the newcomer. The Emory opened in Belgravia in 2024 with 61 suites and a private wellness club, Surrenne Belgravia, that most five-star London hotels do not offer. Breakfast comes in-suite or at Jean-Georges' abc kitchens near Hyde Park Corner. Named among The World's 50 Best Hotels 2025, it wears its newness openly.
