Hideaways' Review
Three things make this Mayfair hotel one of the most sought-after addresses in London
. . . location, location, location. At least, that’s what you'll appreciate most about the Athenaeum when you’re in the mood for some fabulous shopping, world-class sightseeing, and easy-to-get-to nightlife. Of course, if the mood strikes for a comfortable evening in, the gracious and friendly staff at the Athenaeum can accommodate that as well, with an expertly prepared meal followed by a nightcap at The Whisky Bar, which has one of the finest selections of malt whiskey—157 varieties, to be precise—in all of London.
When you finally retire to your guest room, suite, or full-service apartment, you’ll be cocooned in five-star comfort. This is luxury at its very best, in high British style, with elegant decor, marble bathrooms, fluffy robes, and refreshing views over the treetops of Green Park toward Westminster and beyond.
The Athenaeum is perfectly positioned for 360-degree sightseeing and exploring. Cut through Green Park right across the street and arrive shortly at Buckingham Palace. Take a right outside the hotel, and you’ll be in Hyde Park within minutes. Turn left, and you’ll run smack-dab into the buzz of Piccadilly Circus and the theaters and galleries of the West End. Walk behind the hotel and follow the cobbled streets of Shepherd’s Market to the fashionable shops of Bond Street, just beyond. Or stay right where you are and relax in the exclusive and pampering Athenaeum Spa. See? No matter which way you turn, you can’t lose. |
