The Emory: Old Barrack Yard all-suite modern palace designed by Richard Rogers with abc kitchens by Jean-Georges, and Surrenne Spa

Reigning with soaring contemporary architectural brilliance and all-suite Maybourne grand palace architectural nobility in secluded Old Barrack Yard overlooking Hyde Park in Belgravia and Knightsbridge, London, United Kingdom (directly adjacent to The Berkeley and steps from Harrods, Sloane Street, and Wellington Arch, 30 minutes from London Heathrow Airport), The Emory opened in 2024 as London’s premier ultra-luxury all-suite contemporary grand palace. Masterfully designed by Pritzker Prize-winning architect Lord Richard Rogers and Ivan Harbour of RSHP (Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners), the 60-suite luxury palace features a dramatic sails-inspired glass-and-steel facade. Centered around world-famous Chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten’s sensational dining institution abc kitchens, the breathtaking private guests-only rooftop salon Bar 33, and the palatial four-floor subterranean longevity and wellness club Surrenne (complete with a 22-metre heated swimming pool), this property is London’s ultimate modern grand palace.

Arrival introduces travelers to unvarnished Belgravia couture glamour and Old Barrack Yard architectural splendour: personal Emory hosts greet guests beneath Richard Rogers’s striking steel-and-glass entrance canopy in the private cobblestone courtyard of Old Barrack Yard before entering the glowing lobby salon with bespoke art installations, signature scents, and chilled Champagne or artisanal infusions with warm artisanal canapés. Day-one logistics focus on coordinating bespoke London fashion, longevity wellness, and cultural pursuits: walking two minutes into the haute couture designer boutiques of Sloane Street and luxury halls of Harrods (steps away), private guided morning jogs through Hyde Park (steps away), private VIP shopping consultations arranged by your dedicated Emory Host (in suite), swimming across the 22-metre subterranean pool at Surrenne, indulging in cellular longevity and hyperbaric oxygen therapies at the Forbes Five-Star Surrenne Spa, sipping rare Japanese whiskies at the private 10th-floor rooftop salon Bar 33 with panoramic 360-degree views over Hyde Park, and reserving a coveted table at abc kitchens by Jean-Georges.

Palace living balances active London cultural discovery with serene four-floor subterranean longevity sanctuary wellness: Surrenne spans four subterranean floors featuring private luxury treatment suites, Finnish saunas, steam rooms, a 22-metre heated indoor pool with sound healing, and longevity therapies curated by Dr. Barbara Sturm, Tracy Anderson, and Peter Lewin. Dining is an extraordinary French-American culinary summit: farm-to-table haute gastronomy at abc kitchens by Jean-Georges (bringing together his famous abc kitchen, abc cocina, and abcV plant-based concepts alongside international Grand Crus), private rooftop cocktails at Bar 33, and 24-hour in-suite royal dining.

Accommodations comprise 60 all-suite luxury residences spanning individual floors designed by six world-renowned interior architects (including Champalimaud Design, André Fu, Pierre-Yves Rochon, and Patricia Urquiola) with bespoke timber boiserie, floor-to-ceiling glass, deep freestanding marble soaking bathtubs, and panoramic Hyde Park vistas ranging from 55 to 300 square metres. Each residence features plush king beds with custom linens, and marble bathrooms with deep soaking bathtubs, embedded TV mirrors, and custom Bamford and Dr. Barbara Sturm amenities.
