The New Star of the London Hotel Scene: The Emory

View Project SW1X 218 hereRigby & Rigby is behind the two penthouse suites situated within the iconic hotel, the Emory, in Knightsbridge. Tatler give a sky-high review of the Emory, describing the mood of the suite interiors as "grand minimalism".

The article reads:A hotel on Mayfair may be the pinnacle of success on the Monopoly board, but who wouldn’t be equally enamoured by a series of suites spectacularly set in a steel and glass eyrie that hangs over Hyde Park in Belgravia, like a real Master of the Universe’s lair?Of course, the Maybourne Hotel group already occupies two great swathes of W1 with Claridge’s and The Connaught, the benchmark of the city’s five-star hotel scene, so old-school and reassuring. But the newest hotel in the group is a world away from that kind of silken elegance of wood-panelling and chandeliers. Although there is a lot of marble and polished stone… The Emory is (expensively) understated yet (impossibly) elevated - a proper temple of design, as the last project the late Sir Richard Rogers worked on. Aside from its illustrious architectural pedigree, it’s hard not to have sky-high expectations of the London hotel scene’s newest spoiling sanctuary - a no-expense-spared opening that was always going to cause waves as a suite-only hotel (61, in total).
