The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences

Standards as high as when we first visited 20 years ago. Comfortable, relaxed atmosphere, helpful and friendly staff. Well positioned for access to usual London attractions.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Daniel the Doorman: The Unsung Hero of Our Anniversary Trip" We recently spent 3 unforgettable nights at The Athenaeum to celebrate our 35th wedding anniversary—two Aussies returning to one of our favourite cities, with high hopes and even higher expectations. And while the hotel itself is elegant and welcoming, it was Daniel the Doorman who truly made our stay exceptional. From the moment we stepped out of the cab, Daniel greeted us like long-lost friends. His warmth, charisma, and genuine excitement for our celebration set the tone for the entire visit. Every day, he was there with a beaming smile, helpful local insights, and—true to form—a perfectly timed British quip. He didn’t just open the door—he opened the London experience. Whether it was directions delivered with flair, recommending a hidden gem for a romantic dinner, or simply checking in on our day, Daniel made us feel truly at home. And in a city as grand as London, that personal touch means everything. It’s staff like Daniel who transform a luxury hotel into something unforgettable. Thank you, Daniel—you helped make our 35th anniversary one we’ll never forget. 💛 Two Very Grateful Aussies from Down Under 🇦🇺

Service was the best as always. Lucio, Daniel, Will, Cornel, Miguel, Kal. Everyone is great and so friendly and personable

The hotel Is incredible the staff were amazing Room was beautiful Location perfect The only reason I didn’t rate it 5 was because the evening meal took so long to be served we ended up leaving the restaurant hungry

The hotel and environment was amazing. Plenty of restaurants nearby in the heat of London. Miguel was very helpful and knowledgeable. Daniel was a great host. Always was social and made us feel welcome and at home with a little friendly football banter.
