The Athenaeum London Hotel

Get ready to pack your bags and experience a truly unforgettable stay at The Atheneum in London. This luxurious hotel has it all – comfort, style, and a location that puts you right in the heart of the action. So, grab a cuppa, let’s chat about my incredible experience at the Atheneum and why it’s the perfect choice for your next adventure in London.

The Athenaeum Hotel London

We were invited to stay at The Athenaeum Hotel before attending the MAD blog awards and this is how we found it. From the moment you step into the Atheneum London, you’re greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere. Atheneum is what is known as a suit hotel. The staff is friendly and attentive, making you feel like a VIP from the get-go. The reception team is always ready to assist with any special requests or provide recommendations on family-friendly activities in the area. It’s like having a personal concierge who genuinely cares about making your stay memorable.

Now, let’s talk about the rooms at the Atheneum. Oh boy, you’re in for a treat! The hotel offers a variety of rooms and suites, each exuding class and elegance. And let me tell you, the attention to detail is impeccable. From the plush bedding to the stylish furnishings, every aspect of the room is designed with comfort and sophistication in mind. And here’s the best part – the rooms are incredibly spacious, giving you plenty of room to relax and unwind after a day of exploring London’s vibrant streets. 

When we arrived at the suite hotel we were greeted by Jim the lovely doorman and shown to our apartment which was situated round the corner from the main entrance. We chatted to the staff as we checked in and were wished the best of luck for our nominations in the awards ceremony we were off to later that night. 

Our apartment came stocked with a full complementary mini bar full of pretty much any soft or alcoholic drink you could want and after a quick G&T we started getting ready for our evening. It also came with a hob and cupboards full of dinnerware and pots and pans, as well as a dinning area which would be perfect if you were staying for a couple of days and wanted to cook for yourself.

I love that top photo of Lori sitting at the desk, it looks like she’s taking very important business calls. Which of course she was..and not selecting which selfie to share on IG 😉

The bathroom was stocked with everything you could need for an overnight stay and we spent a good half an hour in our Athenaeum dressing gowns and slippers whilst we did our make up and painted our nails (girlie time is the best!).  We grabbed a quick drink in the bar of the hotel before a taxi was called for us and we were rushed away to the awards! 

Speaking of exploring, the location of the Atheneum is a huge selling point. Situated in the prestigious neighborhood of Mayfair, you’re just a stone’s throw away from some of London’s most iconic attractions. Take a leisurely stroll through Green Park to Buckingham Palace, where you can catch the Changing of the Guard ceremony. And let’s not forget about the world-famous shopping mecca of Oxford Street and Bond Street, where you can shop ’til you drop and pick up some fantastic gifts for the little ones. There’s no better feeling than knowing that everything you want to see and do is within easy reach.

The Anthenum Hotel is home to the Galvin at The Athenaeum restaurant, run by the renowned Michelin-starred chefs, the Galvin brothers. Whether you’re in the mood for a hearty breakfast, a decadent afternoon tea, or an exquisite dinner, this restaurant has got you covered. The menu is a culinary delight, featuring fresh and seasonal ingredients prepared to perfection. The Athenaeum afternoon tea also looks fantastic! 

Award-Winning Blog!

After an evening of much fun at the blogging awards (I won my award btw!) we collapsed back in our beds around 2 am and I had one of the best night sleep I’ve had in a long time. Our mum body clocks forced us awake relatively early but the thought of the breakfast waiting downstairs for us soon made me forget my tiredness. 

We were both completely distracted by the tiny muesli in jars and also the creme brûlée (you wouldn’t think it would work as a breakfast item but it so does). After coffee had been drunk and breakfast had been ordered (poached eggs for me, eggs florentine for Lori) we set off to leave. I’m still sort of cursing myself for not being able to fit in any waffles because they looked so good, there’s always next time I guess 😉

We had such a fantastic stay at the Athenaeum, I was still gushing about the place days after (sorry Tom) a real treat which was the icing on the cake of a wonderful weekend.
