THE EMORY, ROOFTOP BAR & LOBBY

A luxury revitalisation project is underway in London: The Emory, an elegant hotel in the centre of the city, is currently undergoing a design revival.

Originally designed by the late Richard Rogers and Ivan Harbour of the architectural firm RSHP, the hotel sets new standards for contemporary design. With its distinctive 'sails' rising above the treetops of Hyde Park, The Emory offers 60 exceptional suites.

FRENER & REIFER was commissioned with the design-engineering, production and installation of various special glass constructions. These include the "Rooftop Bar" consisting of two glass pavilions, each equipped with an openable glass roof, a glass cube in the lobby and roof glazing in the inner courtyard of the entrance area.
