Athenaeum Hotel London

An intimate hotel located opposite Buckingham Palace.

116 Piccadilly, London, W1J 7BJ

Tube: Green Park Station , Hyde Park Corner Station

 
 

Situated opposite Green Park, nearby Buckingham Palace, and just down the road from national museums and galleries, the family-run Athenaeum is an intimate five-star hotel in Mayfair. The luxurious accommodation includes park view rooms, 18 spacious apartments and elegant suites, a beautiful secluded rooftop suite, plus a double AA Rosetted restaurant and a spa. The building, first used over 150 years ago for entertaining MPs, Lords and the great and good of London, was made into a hotel by The Rank Organisation in 1971 and so was home to stars like Lauren Bacall, Burt Bacharach and Warren Beatty when they were filming at Pinewood and Ealing Studios.

 
 
 

The Athenaeum Afternoon Tea

Award-winning afternoon tea served in the hotel's Garden Lounge.

 

Having received the Tea Guild's prestigious award for 'Top London Afternoon Tea 2012', the Athenaeum promises a delectable dining experience. Known for their quintessentially English food, the hotel offers diners an indulgent yet frivolous experience. Visitors can choose between the Evergreen Tea and the Regent's Park Honey Tea, both served in the intimate Garden Lounge. The Evergreen tea offers a sumptuous menu of rose petal champagne, a range of rare teas, traditional English finger sandwiches, scones, crumpets, homemade pastries and, of course, a generous serving of clotted cream. While the Regent's Park Honey Tea, ideal for those with a sweet tooth, has been created using honey gathered from the bees of London's Royal Parks and provides a number of honey based treats. Starting with a glass of honey fizz, diners will then be served a selection of sandwiches, scones and crumpets. However, the highlight is the finale: a constellation of honey based desserts that include a moist honey cake, rich honey cheesecake and light but creamy lavender macaroons.
