The historic, privately owned Athenaeum Hotel and Apartments is located opposite Green Park on bustling Piccadilly in central London, England.

Originally an Edwardian gentleman's club, the Athenaeum was later used by Rank Pictures to accommodate visiting Hollywood stars. Polished wood and brass fittings in the lobby retain an air of exclusivity.

The basement spa's treatments include enzymatic body rubs with sea mud, and in-room massages are available (surcharge). There is a 24-hour gym with steam room and sauna.

There is a business centre and the hotel has high speed Internet access (surcharge) and a selection of conference rooms, the largest for up to 55 people.

Hyde Park is 500 metres away and Piccadilly Circus is half a mile away. Buckingham Palace, Harrods department store and Oxford Street, the country's biggest shopping street, are within a mile, as is Westminster Abbey. Green Park is the nearest Tube station to the hotel.
