Guest reviews for The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences

5 out of 5

Great guest relations.

Pros: Close restaurants, Quiet
My companion and I stayed at The Athenaeum from Dec. 1-7, 2011 --- a great place to stay location-wise, staff-wise, comfort-wise. All our needs were attended to -- right down to my request for an easy chair brought to my room. And Jim the doorman is a delight, very helpful! My simple advice: Stay there!

Stunning English style hotel

This property is absolutely beautiful. It's very traditional and formal English. The location can't be beat, overlooking Green Park and just a hop away from the tube. The staff was so kind and so helpful. I was traveling on business, but I would definately come back here with my wife for vacation.
