Chic, with an independent spirit. Welcome to The Athenaeum. This Art Deco beauty has stood in the heart of Mayfair since 1850, but it hasn’t stood still.

Step outside and you’re opposite Green Park, step in and you’re in the height of contemporary luxury and glamour. This is a hotel that’s evolved with the years; an iconic magnet for the rich and famous.

Then there’s The View, oh the view, so good we typed it twice. A majestic panorama of London from the exclusive residents’ only lounge. Your place to sit, enjoy a drink and take in the cityscape in quiet retreat-like calm. Reminiscent, though arguably quieter, than the Victorian gentleman’s club that this building once housed. Choose from a room, suite or your very own front door in the private Victorian townhouse residences, a Mayfair home from home. All at once sleek, glitzy, welcoming, comfortable and incredibly luxurious. A true icon.

Re-opening in February, subject to government approval
