The athenaeum

No need to leave your best friend behind when traveling to London this summer.   The Athenaeum Hotel & Apartments, a singularly chic five-star family-owned hotel in Mayfair, welcomes all creatures great and small.   

Man's (and woman's) best friends are more than welcome in the luxury property's communal areas as well as in any of the perfectly appointed 164 room, suites and apartments.

To make everyone feel more “at home,” the hotel's concierge team provides dog-walking maps for Green Park, Hyde Park and Regents Park – all  a stone's throw from the hotel.  Also awaiting Fido's check-in will be cozy dog beds for large or small dogs, loaner leashes , food  and water bowls as well as canine treats from The Athenaeum's award-winning restaurant .

The Athenaeum's apartments are perfect for owners traveling with their furry friends.  Situated directly across Piccadilly from Green Park, the apartments offer independence and additional space for guests as well as access to all the five-star services of the hotel.  Whether staying for one night or longer, dog-owners and dogs alike will feel like Mayfair residents in this flexible, secluded location.

Known as “your London home,” The Athenaeum is located in fashionable Mayfair – across from Green Park and just steps from Buckingham Palace and the best shopping in London.  The 164-room five-star property is family-owned and family-friendly, known for offering accommodations to suit a variety of budgets and needs.  You can choose from traditional guestrooms to suites and the very popular apartments.  All are available for one night or….forever.

Starting at $699 per night for a deluxe room and $1,409 for an apartment. The US dollar rate also includes full English breakfast, all drinks and snacks from the minibar, and tax at 20%. In addition, kids under 12 can enjoy one complimentary meal from the specially designed kids menu with each adult meal purchased.   Stay three nights and guests will receive a complimentary one-way car transfer from any London airport.  Stay five nights and car transfer is round-trip. 

And, during the summer, guests can enjoy a complimentary bowl of delicious strawberries with every purchase of Champagne Lanson White Label Sec bubbly.  Or, stay in any of The Athenaeum's gorgeous suites  -- including the Rooftop Suite with sweeping views of London's skyline – and enjoy a complimentary magnum of Lanson White Label Sec.    Guests staying in the hotel's Parkview rooms will find a complimentary half-bottle of Champagne Lanson Black Label Brut awaiting their arrival, complete with an official Championships Wimbledon branded bottle cooler.

These rates are valid now thru August 31, 2014 and represent, on average, a $150 savings on the most popular room categories.
