In covid times when travel isn’t as much an option, it’s been nice to have a staycation in an area of London we do not frequent. The check in was straightforward, room clean, and staff helpful. We were able to enjoy the spa and a massage - which was such a mood boosting treat. We also had lunch at 116, which was delightful. Overall, a very pleasant stay!

Kate United Kingdom

I was there for my birthday and the hotel staff went the extra mile to decorate my room, provide me with an upgrade, and gave me free drinks and a cake. It made the experience really special. Jorge and Fabio were especially nice and attentive.

Julie United Kingdom

The warm welcome was exceptional. The staff was friendly and helpful and they tried their best to fulfill any need I asked for. This is way I feel my stay in The Athenaeum is absolutely amazing.

Fajar Qatar

It had everything we needed and the location was close to Hyde park by walking. If the weather is cold you don’t want to walk though.
