{"product_id":"surrenne-at-the-emory","title":"Surrenne at The Emory","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Emory, part of Maybourne · Belgravia, London\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur assessment: \u003cstrong\u003eGold\u003c\/strong\u003e · 89%\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe one thing\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFour floors of longevity medicine and superyacht calm, sunk beneath the pavement where Knightsbridge meets Hyde Park. At the bottom of it a 22 metre saltwater pool glows under a single blade of skylight, and one floor up Tracy Anderson keeps the only studio she has ever opened outside America. Nowhere else in London has dug this deep, in any sense, in pursuit of a longer life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe verdict\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Emory is Maybourne's newest hotel and the first the group ever built from the ground up, a glass prow of suites at Hyde Park Corner, and Surrenne is what happened when that ambition turned downwards. Four floors and 21,527 square feet below the lobby, given to a single idea, that wellness deserves the same seriousness as everything upstairs. The club calls itself Surrenne Belgravia, and its address on Old Barrack Yard is a cobbled dogleg most of London has never noticed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe designer is Rémi Tessier, whose trade is superyachts, and the finish gives him away. Warm wood panelling runs like a hull, terrazzo and copper toned light soften every edge, domed ceilings rise over some of the treatment rooms, and Damien Hirst pieces hang where a lesser spa would put a stock photograph of orchids. The lighting follows the circadian rhythm through the day and the soundscapes are generated fresh so the room never repeats itself, which sounds like a gimmick until the quiet of the place makes its point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat separates Surrenne from every polished pool in the postcode is the medical layer. Hyperbaric oxygen chambers sit inside treatment rooms, physician formulated IV drips run alongside facials, and the clinical team, in partnership with Solice Health, will take blood, measure a biological age, fit a glucose monitor or arrange a scan. It is a spa where the massage table and the diagnostic suite stand on equal footing, and that pairing is still rare enough in Britain to be worth the descent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe water\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe pool is 22 metres of saltwater under a slender skylight, the one place in the club where daylight is allowed in, and it earns its keep. Underwater speakers carry sound through the water, evenings bring swimming by candlelight, and curtained cabanas line the edge, where staff will bring an LED facial, a compression therapy session, a juice or a glass of champagne to the daybed. The pool, sauna, steam room and cafe all run 7.00am to 9.00pm daily, and the gym stays open around the clock for hotel guests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thermal suite gathers close around the water. A Finnish sauna, a steam room held at 100 percent humidity that cycles aromatic scents through the air, jasmine to calm and eucalyptus to invigorate, a snow shower for the cold moment after the heat, and a hammam with a heated marble bed where the wet treatments happen. It is compact and beautifully made rather than sprawling, a suite built to punctuate a treatment or a training session rather than a circuit to spend the whole day walking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChildren under sixteen may swim between 8.00am and 10.00am and again between 3.00pm and 5.00pm, with a parent or guardian and no more than three children to each adult, which leaves the water in adult hands for the rest of its long day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTreatments\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe menu opens with the Surrenne signature facials, a Gold facial that layers four technologies over the face, neck and décolleté, a Green Tea detox and a Charcoal rebalance, and climbs from there through some serious names. Dr. Macrene Alexiades, who holds three Harvard degrees, lends her Macrene Method facials and a body version that treats thighs, abdomen and arms with the same clinical intent. Dr. Lara Devgan's rejuvenating, brightening and performance facials bring her New York practice to London. FaceGym runs its face workouts here, from a thirty minute Signature Sculpt to the Ultimate Lift and Glow with EMS sculpting and an oxygen finish, and the LYMA Pro facial pairs that house's laser with a facialist's hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe massage list is written for how people actually feel. I Need It All is built in consultation from deep tissue, Thai, Ayurveda, Shiatsu and trigger point work, Downtime pours warm adaptogenic oil over the third eye on a heated water mat, and the four hands Ultimate Synchronised Ceremony sets two therapists moving in choreography. Mothers to be are cared for from the second trimester through post partum. The wet room holds the loveliest surprises, a Signature Purifying experience taken lying on a bed of white onyx with Himalayan and Red Alea salt polishes, and scalp rituals that end in gua sha and ultra light oils.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen comes the part most spas cannot offer. Reflexology with the award winning Daisy Robinson, whose Zone Face Lift is often described as a spiritual face lift, energy work and 5D Reiki with crystal mapping from Nieve Tierney, and The Founder's Treatment from Guillaume Guibordeau, creator of the AXO method of regenerative bodywork. On the clinical side sit hyperbaric oxygen sessions, IV therapies from jet lag resets to the NAD+ rich Centurion, VO2 max testing, continuous glucose monitoring and biological age analysis. Signature facials run £250 to £330, massages £250 to £320, and the corrective work with resident facialist Chloe Proud reaches further.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGetting in\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the part to read twice, because Surrenne is a private members club and there is no public door. Access belongs to two kinds of people, members, and guests staying at The Emory or The Berkeley, who walk in free for the length of their stay. No day passes are sold and no treatment can be booked from the street, so the afternoon visit that works at other London spas does not exist here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMembership is by application at surrenne.com, individual or joint, and every membership begins with a personal assessment before a programme is built around it. A year inside includes twelve Tracy Anderson studio classes, two hyperbaric sessions, four advanced body treatments or facials, a consultation with the Surrenne health physician and a programme of members' events. Launch reporting put the price at £10,000 a year with a £5,000 joining fee, and current pricing is on application.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe gentler route in is a suite. A stay at The Emory, or at The Berkeley a few minutes away, carries full access with it, and The Emory's City Circadian Reset retreat builds a stay entirely around the club, with consultations, circadian rituals and considered dining aimed at resetting the body clock. Old Barrack Yard sits off Knightsbridge with Hyde Park directly across the road, Hyde Park Corner and Knightsbridge stations are both a short walk, and Heathrow is about forty five minutes by car.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat to know before you fall in love\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThere is no public way in. Treatments, pool and classes belong to members and to staying guests of The Emory and The Berkeley, so without a suite booked or a membership approved the door does not open.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe thermal suite is compact, one sauna, one steam room, a snow shower and a hammam around a single pool, built to punctuate a treatment or a training session rather than to wander for a day.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMuch of what makes it extraordinary is clinical, hyperbaric chambers, IV drips, blood panels and biological age testing, which is exactly right for some people and a step too medical for others.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIt is below ground and windowless apart from the pool's skylight, four floors down at its deepest.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe prices are serious even by Knightsbridge standards, most treatments sit between £250 and £500, and membership was reported at launch in five figures a year before the joining fee.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBest for\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCouples, who get the Magma room with its private bathtub, circadian light and a soundscape that will never play the same way twice. Anyone treating wellness as a project rather than a treat, because nowhere else in London puts diagnostics, training and a hammam under one roof this comfortably. Guests of The Emory and The Berkeley, for whom all of it is simply included and would be reason enough to choose the hotel. And the fortunate few for whom a five figure membership reads as an investment in the decades, not an indulgence in the day.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Luxury Spa Escapes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54664323367253,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0864\/5217\/5189\/files\/pexels-photo-30889424_33ed66ea-3400-45a4-b9c1-abfd8476fd59.jpg?v=1786831678","url":"https:\/\/luxuryspaescapes.com\/products\/surrenne-at-the-emory","provider":"Luxury Spa Escapes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
