The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences

Mayfair

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, with the Michelin-starred Galvin brothers at the culinary helm and family-run for decades.

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.

Following guidance from the government, World Health Organisation, Public Health England and our various health and safety advisors, we have taken the decision to temporarily close the doors to our restaurant, bar and spa. The hotel will remain open, although – to protect our team and guests – availability will be limited to long term guests, those unable to get home due to travel restrictions and key workers seeking emergency accommodation.
