About the award

Introduced in 1992, this award is the AA’s ultimate accolade for hotels in the UK. It is awarded to hotels that are recognised as being outstanding examples in their particular market. From the small family-run hotel to the most ambitious commercial ventures, hotels of every size and style are potential winners.

The Emory, London 

The Emory brings a fresh expression of luxury to the capital’s busy market. It is a striking all-suite Belgravia hotel combining modernist architecture, privacy and a calm residential atmosphere with 61 suites and studios of exceptional generosity. Interiors are a major point of distinction, with leading international designers giving the accommodation individuality while retaining a coherent identity. The hotel benefits from natural light and open spaces, alongside intuitive technology, generous and inclusive amenities and a professional yet relaxed service culture. ABC Kitchens, led by Jean-Georges Vongerichten, gives the hotel an energetic dining identity, while The Emory Rooftop Bar provides outstanding views and accomplished drinks service.
