There will be a private guest-only rooftop space with access to Bar 33 and The Emory Cigar Merchants, and guests will benefit from return car transfer from the capital’s private airfields or international airports.

Other facilities will include Surrenne wellness club, housed within four floors below ground and featuring a 22-metre swimming pool, and Jean-Georges Vongerichten restaurant abc kitchens, with a glass facade offering views of Hyde Park and Kensington.

The hotel will join Maybourne Hotel Group’s existing London properties – Claridge’s, The Connaught and The Berkeley – as well as The Maybourne Beverly Hills in the US and The Maybourne Riviera in France.

At last year’s International Hospitality Investment Forum (IHIF) in Berlin the group’s co-CEO Marc Socker spoke on subjects ranging from the hotel group’s heritage and growth, to rising rates and today’s definition of luxury.

Commenting on the news Maybourne Hotel Group’s CEO Gianluca Muzzi said:

“This is our first new London property in 50 years, and we believe it will be a truly ground breaking new addition to our distinguished hotel family.

“We plan to bring the inspiration and creative energy that have made our other hotels so notable, whilst also making The Emory a world class hub of art and culture.

“This opening further cements our vision and commitment to growing Maybourne, and heralds a bold new future for the company.”

The Emory is one of several luxury hotels set to open in London in 2024, with others including Mandarin Oriental Mayfair and Six Senses London.
