The Athenaeum

The fabulous 5 Star Athenaeum is your London home from home. It overlooks leafy Green Park and is a very short stroll to Buckingham Palace, the chic-est shops, national galleries and museums and West End theatres. Small and family-owned, it has 157 rooms, suites and apartments and all the hotel rooms have opening floor to ceiling windows so you can enjoy even more of the view. Every aspect of the design and service helps you feel relaxed and at home: as standard in your room there's a Bose docking station for your iPod or MP3 player, large plasma screen TV with multiple channels and pay per view films, mini bar soft drinks and snacks on the house. The look and feel everywhere is creative and contemporary, warm and friendly. Delightful surprises include the colossal Living Wall Garden, all the way up the side of the building. There's all day dining in the Restaurant, where the surroundings are as gorgeous as the food. Don't miss the exquisite award-winning Afternoon Tea in the Garden Room? and enjoying your favourite tipple in the Whisky Bar. Downstairs there's even a small but perfectly formed Spa with Gym, Hair and Beauty Salons too.
