Welcome to The Athenaeum

Independent. Intimate. Unmistakably Mayfair

The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences

Opposite Green Park. Steps from Buckingham Palace. And nothing like anywhere else nearby.

The Athenaeum has been welcoming curious people to this corner of London since 1850. You’ll stay where celebrities once edited films, where walls turned from club to residence, and with Green Park just across the road. Drop your bags with Daniel or Miguel, and let the city unfold at your pace.

Rooms, Suites and Residences

Some guests stay a night. Others stay a season. We have a room - or a home - for both.

Many of our spacious hotel rooms and suites face Green Park or look out over the rooftops of Mayfair, with the Art Deco details you'd expect from a building that's been here since 1850. Our eighteen townhouse residences are something different: a proper kitchen, a separate sitting room and the full attention of the hotel team whenever you need it.

  • Rooms and suites with Green Park views
  • Suites with separate living areas
  • New View Penthouse suites on the 10th floor
  • Eighteen private townhouse residences with full hotel services
  • Welcomes families, dogs and long-stay guests

Eat, drink, linger

116 sits at the heart of the hotel - open to the street, full of life, and worth a visit whether you're staying or not. Chef André's menus change with the seasons and take dietary preferences seriously: our vegan and gluten-free dishes aren't an afterthought.

The Bar is quieter. A good place to think, or to stop thinking. And if you'd like afternoon tea without the ceremony, you've come to the right place. 

  • 116 at The Athenaeum - modern British dining, open to guests and locals
  • Afternoon tea - relaxed, inclusive, done properly
  • The Terrace - open-air dining on Piccadilly
  • The Bar - coffee, cocktails, conversation, and unmistakably Mayfair

Meetings and Events

Small enough to be personal. Central enough to matter. Our meeting and event spaces sit inside a working Mayfair hotel, which means proper coffee, proper food and a team who notice the details before you do.

  • Rooms for meetings, private dinners and social events
  • Natural daylight and park views in select spaces
  • Full audio-visual and hybrid capability
  • Menus built around your brief, not a standard package
  • A dedicated planner from first enquiry to last guest

SPA AND FITNESS

In a city that never pauses, The Spa at The Athenaeum is a place to restore. Calm treatments, natural British products and a team who give the kind of attention that only works when there are fewer people in the room.

The gym is open 24-hours. Peloton and Technogym, whenever you need them.

  • Massage, facial and body treatments
  • Steam room and relaxation space
  • In-room treatments available
