The history?
As part of the well-established Maybourne group, Surrenne and its adjacent hotel, The Emory, are brand new. Surenne was built by digging four stories below the heart of London’s busy Knightsbridge to create this sensational space from scratch. What it lacks in historical storytelling, it more than makes up for in its impressive, brand-spanking-new modernity.

What should you try?
The treatment menu is a delight to navigate, but highlights include Shiatsu massage in a purpose-built room that allows the trained masseuse to walk on your back. Facials are care of FaceGym and Stella McCartney, and there is a snow machine for cold exposure and an expansive sauna for warmth. But a true must-try is the deep exfoliation of the Signature Purifying White Onyx Wet Spa Experience, executed on a white onyx crystal bed while being treated to a Himalayan Salt Scrub that leaves the skin feeling squeaky clean.
What else do we need to know?
No details have been ignored, which Theron explains is because, “we wanted coming to Surrenne to be a friction-free experience, so we have removed all the bug bears.” As such, membership comes complete with an Alo Yoga kit that can be freshly washed and laundered in time for your next visit (no going home or to the office with sweaty gym kit stuffed in your bag), as well as a beauty bag that is consistently updated with beauty newness.
Who can go?
If you are a guest of The Emory or The Berkeley, the facilities will be free to use.
