Beautiful hotel facing Green Park and adjacent to Mayfair. From the entrance to the bar/lounge and then the staff to the canapes...it smells luxurious and has the opulent feel to it. Very modern decor with clean fine space. I visited a showcase a couple of weeks ago and was blown away. It's a 5 minute walk from the green park station and sits next door to Grand Sheraton I think it's called. The rooms are either in a teal (those facing Green park) or autumn colour (those facing Mayfair) Large bathrooms and shower rooms, they have an upper floor lounge room for guests to just relax. Also enclosed are the gym, spa treatment rooms, sauna, jacuzzi and the likes. They have an outdoor seating area for meals and their restaurant serves some of the best afternoon teas in London. Pricing is relatively and can range from btw £200-1500 per night depending on which room is booked. I strongly recommend and would love to visit again and again. Oh not to forget the canapes and cocktails, they just kept flowing 😋 I have shared pictures of some of the spectacular spaces, meeting rooms and bedrooms ❤️ definitely high-end

Very disappointing experience at this hotel. We booked a Deluxe Room for one night. The website promises a free upgrade if availability permits (which I checked through the website on the day and it did). However, we were actually DOWNGRADED from the room we paid for, to a Superior Townhouse room. We had several issues with this room. The TV was not working, which we reported before we went out for afternoon and were assured it would be looked at. When we returned, the TV was still broken. Furthermore, our bathroom door had been locked, raising security concerns as somebody had clearly been in the room. Finally, in the evening the power in the room was intermittently cutting out. We reported this and the TV again, and thankfully were promptly moved, to an adjacent and identical room (another Superior Townhouse room, still not the Deluxe Room we paid for). This room at least had no issues, other than the fact that the rooms are on the ground floor facing the street, so that a large tour group passing in the morning were able to easily stare into the room. Breakfast staff were also inattentive and making mistakes with our order, with no apology given. We had visited the spa several times before which is what prompted us to stay at the hotel, but now have no desire to return. I will say that the doorman was very polite, professional and the only thing which lived up to standard.

For our wedding anniversary, we indulged in The Restore Spa Package at the Athenaeum Spa, booked through Virgin Experience Days, and it was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we arrived at the elegant Athenaeum Hotel in Mayfair, we knew we were in for a special treat. Nestled in the heart of London, just a short stroll from Green Park, the hotel exudes understated luxury with its sleek, contemporary design and warm, welcoming ambiance. Upon arrival at the spa, we were greeted with a friendly smile and instantly felt at ease. The reception area was beautifully styled, with soft lighting and a calming atmosphere that set the tone for the afternoon ahead. After a seamless check-in, we were offered a chilled glass of Prosecco—such a lovely touch to begin our relaxation experience. Sipping bubbles in the lounge, we took a moment to unwind before being guided to the spa facilities. Though compact, the spa was a tranquil sanctuary. The warm hydrotherapy pool, with its soothing jets, was perfect for easing away any tension, while the sauna and steam room provided the ultimate detox. The intimate setting meant it never felt overcrowded, allowing us to truly immerse ourselves in the serene environment. The highlight of our visit was the tailored treatments included in the package. The skilled therapists ensured our massages were deeply relaxing yet invigorating, using luxurious oils that left our skin nourished and our minds at ease. The attention to detail and personalisation made the experience feel extra special. Overall, the Athenaeum Spa delivered a wonderfully intimate and rejuvenating experience, making our anniversary celebration feel truly indulgent. If you’re looking for a sophisticated escape in central London with top-tier service and a touch of luxury, this spa package is a perfect choice. We left feeling refreshed, pampered, and already planning our next visit!
