The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences

Well located hotel with friendly and professional staff. However, the highlight was their extraordinarily comfortable bed! After a multi-week trip and several stays at a variety of top notch hotels, their bed was the best! Overall, the room was comfortable and well appointed but a good night’s sleep is priceless!

The service and goodies were truly exceptional. The tea blending was such a learnng experience. Urmila is extremely knowledgeable. You should feel very fortunate to have her as an employee. I would highly recommend the whole experience!!

New afternoon tea was lovely and the tea blend experience was excellent. We had work through few question on the menu, but that were patient and very accommodating. Great way to catch up with my cousin. The different parts of the afternoon tea were brought out separately which meant that the scones were fresh and warm when they came out! Debra did a fantastic job with the tea blending experience, we each had teas that were perfectly tailored to our tastes.

Went here for afternoon tea for me and my sisters birthday with my mum. Had a lovely time and staff were really accommodating and bought us a birthday dessert which was very nice. Ellie and Jess were helpful and there was a guy (can’t remember his name) who made us a customised tea which was lovely ! The scones were also delicious, me and my sister came back for them especially , they were really warm and just melt with the cream so easily ! Lovely time there thank you :)

Savoury afternoon tea at The Athenaeum… … What a great London teaI experience and I have enjoyed quite a few! Loved the savoury variant- the food was utterly delicious. The tea menu was exquisite and we could mix it up and try any that floated our boats. Great gin cocktail (I had Seedlip non-alcoholic, a thoughtful touch that not all hotels accommodate. Why???!.) Best of all was the attentive Athenaeum service, we loved all the staff who looked after us. Thank you Afternoon Tea crew xxx
