Mayfair glamour with parkfront calm

Across from Green Park, The Athenaeum sets a polished Mayfair mood where city energy meets a breath of green. Interiors mix classic British pieces with contemporary and mid-century European design in a muted, high-gloss palette. It is an easy base for evenings in the West End and meals in nearby Chinatown.

6/10 Good

There's a lot to recommend the Athenaeum - great location, friendly and professional staff, a good breakfast and clean and tidy. Unfortunately we also found reason to make us not want to return - the mattress on the bed sloped into the middle. To avoid this dip you sleep on the edge of the mattress and then you hit your head on the minibar cabinet which is pushed up flush to the bed (the addition of a foam protector on the corner tends to indicate this is a known problem). There was a constant dripping noise in the room which we could not locate but suspected came from the AC (which does not have an "auto" setting). Finally, one of the towels provided was worn out and actually had a large hole in it. We shall be trying the neighbouring competitors instead of returning.

Great attention to detail and very friendly staff, from doorman, to reception and concierge, to cleaning staff. First day I arrived a bit earlier from airport and was able to get early check in. Was also jet lagged and had a couple Nespresso cups in room. The next day staff filled coffee bar with pods I drank plus extras of the ones I liked. Small things like that throughout my stay, that most hotels ignore and show attention to detail.
