We have just returned from 1 night stay in the 5* Athenaeum and it was perfect bliss. On arrival we were upgraded to an apartment. From arriving the service was brilliant from every member of staff. Our bags and coats were taken to our apartment and our car was parked and returned for us(parking cost £30pn). It was a total... more

I had a wonderful 2 nights here just after Christmas '07 for a very special occasion (proposed to my now wife)! The staff were very professional. Door staff were particularly friendly. The very helpful guy at concierge even managed to get us a last minute table at an apparently very exclusive restaurant after calling pretty much everywhere and he didn't... more

Hi, I'm new to tripadvisor but thought I had to write a review of the Athenaeum. My boyfriend and I stay here on average once a year, sometimes more. It's definitely our hotel of choice whenever we're in London. It's location is perfect, so close to Buckingham Palace and The Ritz, and it's right on the Piccadilly line so getting... more

We booked this through lastminute.com as a Top Secret Hotel so were not sure what we would get. To say that we were pleasantly surprised is an understatement. It was fabulous. The Athenaeum has a boutique feel to it and the room was perfect. It is apparently being updated but we neither saw nor heard any sign of this and... more

Stayed here twice in 3 weeks for business whilst visting trade shows at Olympia and showrooms in central London. I booked both times through Travelsupermarket.com and got good deals on both occasions (including breakfast which is a huge saving.) First time I stated was at the start of August. When my colleague and I arrived they have mistakenly booked us... more

The Boyfriend and I headed for the bright city lights of London once again to celebrate his entry into middle age (I keep telling him 40 is the old 30 but will he listen???). Anyway, dear reader I digress. I booked The Athenaeum Hotel via Last Minute as one of their Secret Hotels and paid the princely sum of £246... more

We have a wonderfuyl stay at the Athenaeum!....We were greeted warmly and given a room upgrade upon arrival: a lovely room, light and spacious, with a view of Green Park. We found the service outstanding and the breakfast was, in my view, the best breakfast I ever had in comparable hotels!... We had read reviews commenting on the need for... more

Last week we managed to obtain a late deal at this hotel.Having stayed in many London hotels over countless years, always 4 or 5 star, we found this non-chain establishment to be a little gem. The Doorman was always helpful, carrying bags,getting taxies,opening the doors and making sure you did not slip(in the rain). So often today the doormen seem... more

My family (2 adults and 2 kids) and I have just returned from staying at this beautiful boutique hotel. On arrival, we were immediately greeted by Jim (Doorman) who asked for all our names and remembered them during our stay, I would have to say that it was the best welcome we've ever received and our kids loved it. He... more
