The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences

We had a wonderful getaway at the Athenaeum with our family of 4 (including two young children). We stayed at one of the residences. They arranged for really nice transportation between the airport and hotel both ways, which was comfortable, timely and professional. We took an overnight flight from Newark and were delighted to be able to check in early at noon upon our arrival, since we were all tired and in need of a change of clothes/wash up. While the bathroom was very small, everything was clean and comfortable, and indeed stylish. The bunkbeds for the kids were a really nice touch. Room service was fast and good, so we took full advantage for breakfast and dinners on days when our kids were too tired to go back out for a restaurant dinner. The nice big dining table was really helpful to have. The kitchenette was awesome, and we made full use of the washer/dryer, which is a real godsend when you have small kids. One minor suggestion is for the hotel to stock paper towels in the kitchenette. The location is good, especially for park strolls and it's a nice walk to the shopping on Regent Street. There is a close by tube station and several bus stops as well. It's also very close to some really cute little side streets in Mayfair full of shops and fancy homes to gawk at. Real shoutout to Daniel, the lovely doorman, who doted on our little girls with treats and was always there to welcome us with a smile and fetch our stroller when we were headed out for the day. One minor complaint is the added gratuity situation. While we would have no objection whatsoever to paying an automatic gratuity to hotel staff (they earned it!), it would have been good if this was told to us upon check in. Since we did not know, we left cash tips for the cleaning service and doormen. But not a huge deal, and the reception staff actually removed it from our bill. In hindsight I wish I had insisted they keep it on the bill, since all the staff we encountered were wonderful, not just the ones we tipped in cash. We will definitely be back for our next London adventure.

I’m really glad that I was staying at this hotel, the staff was very friendly, helpful and hospitality especially mr.Abdulrahman,Kal and Johnson . Of course the service room and cleaning was perfect, Much appreciated and hopefully will be back soon

Cindy and I are reluctantly checking out this morning. This is our fourth year in a row staying at the Athenaeum and we have to say that this could well be our best stay ever. The location, service and amenities are absolutely first class in every respect. The entire staff deserves an award for their dedicated and friendly service. A particular shout out to Miguel, Matt, and Olga for their kindness, though it’s hard to single out people when everyone was soooo nice to us. If you are planning to stay in London, do not overlook this gem. Al and Cindy….

I had the pleasure of staying at this wonderful hotel recently, and I must say, my experience exceeded all expectations. From the moment I arrived, the staff were incredibly welcoming, but what truly stood out was Rahman. His level of service went above and beyond what I could have hoped for.Throughout my stay, he was attentive, always ready to assist with any request, and his friendly demeanor made me feel like a valued guest.

Lovely Christmas themed afternoon tea at the Athenaeum Hotel. Great service from Kassim. The scones were perfect - fluffy and warm, and the cakes were all Christmas themed and delicious. Our Prosecco glasses were kept topped up but the service was unobtrusive. I would definitely recommend!
