The last year or so has been a little quieter than usual for us here at The Athenaeum. The good news is, as well as giving us an opportunity to help the local community, it’s given us plenty of time to put measures in place to protect our guests and team.

We have acquired the industry standard mark, meaning we have followed government and industry COVID-19 guidelines, we have a risk assessment in place and a process to maintain cleanliness and aid social distancing.

Here’s what to expect from your next visit…

1. Enhanced cleaning protocols

  • Increased frequency of cleaning in all public areas, using hospital grade antibacterial cleaning products and anti-viral fogging
  • Complimentary hand gel in every bedroom

Reviews

I can't speak highly enough of the staff at The Athenaeum Hotel. We had a wonderful stay and were made to feel so special by the thoughtful touches that were given to us. This included a complimentary upgrade to a suite, afternoon tea brought to the room to celebrate a birthday and champagne brought with a DVD request! I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the hotel to anyone and can't wait to stay again! Thank you so much.

The hotel has taken the steps necessary to guard guests and staff from Covid-19 whilst still maintaining their high standards. I will certainly be returning to use the hotel when I am in London for private stays and life returns to ‘normal’. Thank you very much to the management and staff, you have been fantastic!

The hotel was a beautiful place to stay during our stop in London. They were a saving grace allowing key workers to stay during the Covid19 pandemic, we only stopped for one night, but staff were welcoming and friendly, everything was clean and we felt safe. We were still able to eat from the hotel via room service and the food was very pleasant. Thank you.
