THE ATHENAEUM Luxe

beautiful hotel in a great location with such friendly staff. everything you expect from a 5* hotel. close to all the best parts of Mayfair. nice, cosy rooms. beautifully decorated. amazing, picturesque bar. all the staff are friendly especially Kim the Guest Experience Manager, who goes the extra mile to make your stay even more special. Wednesdays they have a 'social' where the staff and guest all come together for complementary drinks and a chat. a very nice touch. strongly recommend this hotel if staying in the mayfair area and would 100% stay again

Let me start with stating the fact that I am many months behind in my review! My wife and I travelled with our two adult daughters for 6 nights, spending Christmas in London. We have been in London during the winter months before, first don't shy away! Cold yes, but the city is fantastic and lit up. So many Christmas decorations and markets. As always I had no hesitation staying at the Athenaeum. We had been back the previous March while renovations were ongoing. This time I couldn't wait to get back to see the property completely finished. As usual, greeted by John, what a welcoming sight both he and Jim are! Entrance is new and exciting, with an outdoor patio that is better suited for warm weather but still a great addition. The bar and restaurant were fantastic. Given that it was a holiday, we booked Christmas dinner a Galvin's. A quick duo review here. If you get a chance to truly dine at Galvin's do so! Fantastic food, service impeccable and compliments to the chef and staff. Back to the property. We had two rooms, both Green Park views and everything you would want from room at a great property. Clean and with all the amenities you need. In the past, I have been automatically upgraded to these Green Park views. This time, with heavy bookings I was told that it may not be a possibility so I pre booked and paid for the Green Park views. Well worth it, best rooms in the property! (Just wish upgrades would have been available) The new bar is a great gathering place, in fact we joined the Manager and other guests for the annual Queen's speech. Filled with people, great drinks and fun had by all! Can't leave the Concierge Desk out. Allan and others were fantastic as always with theater recommendations and bookings as well as restaurant bookings. Use them if you get the chance, it will make your life easier, they are fantastic. There of course were some new staff but all treated us professionally and with great courtesy and its always great to make new acquaintances and friends for future stays. Of course the familiar faces like Angelis and Anne Marie and the others mentioned previously still are a great part of coming back to the property. I look forward to another stay in the near future!

The hotel is located in a great location, very easy to walk to Hyde Park, Green Park, Selfridges, etc. Very central. The lobby is beautiful and fun to sit in. The rooms were a little tight but you can't ask for much else in London. The staff was incredible, unbelievably nice and consistently helpful. One little note - while the lobby was refurbished recently the rooms were not so a little outdated.

We had a lovely stay at the Athenaeum in the green park suite. A beautiful room overlooking Green Park. We found all the staff helpful and friendly especially Chiara who checked us out and was very interested in how we enjoyed our stay and provided us with a super quick check out in the lobby.

The location was ideal with stunning with views of the park, staff at reception made it really easy to check in and were very welcoming especially Igors and Mariusz. The room had everything you would wish for and the room service was prompt. Planning another stay soon. Can't wait to relive the experience.
