Theatre & Museums
Want tickets for the hottest musical in town? Desperate to get a table in the hippest restaurant? The longstanding and award-winning Concierge team are a fixture of the hotel and are often the guests first port of call- even prior to making a reservation.
Golfing
For the golf enthusiasts, enjoy a round at their sister property, The Grove, situated just 40 minutes from central London.

The spa, open exclusively to Athenaeum guests, is a blissful antidote to the buzz of Central London. You can take a warm relaxing dip in the jacuzzi, unwind in the sauna and steam rooms or workout in the gym. Alternatively, body wraps with enzymatic sea mud or a mineral salt scrub are particularly invigorating. The Hair Salon is open Monday to Saturday for cut, styling, colour and blowdry.
