The Athenaeum - Mayfair London

The Athenaeum is a small and very attractive family-owned 5 star hotel located in Mayfair, London. It may be a small hotel but it certainly has a big personality! This is a luxury hotel unlike any other - right from the start, it's different: it has an astonishing Vertical Garden up the side of the hotel, which was designed by botanist Patrick Blanc. On the inside, there is a massive choice of rooms, along with luxury suites and even the convenience of townhouse apartments. Each of them has either a stunning leafy view or an outlook over Mayfair. The hotel is directly opposite the Royal Parks and Buckingham Palace; it's a few short minutes' walk away from all the best museums and galleries, the most chic shopping areas, and of course the delights of Theatreland. The tube will take you easily to the City, Soho and Canary Wharf, all just a few stops away. What makes this hotel so special is that it has been family run since the 1990s, and a tribute to its comfort and values is that actors Russell Crowe, Dustin Hoffman and Renee Zellweger have all stayed there, as have Mick Jagger and Robbie Williams!

An interesting approach to finding accommodation....

Wolsey Lodges Ltd. is a non-profit organisation owned by its own members, who are all high quality B&B proprietors located throughout the UK. Wolsey Lodges employ independent inspectors who anonymously visit members and vet new applicants so that standards are high and match up to what is expected of any establishment belonging to the organisation.

What makes Wolsey Lodges different is that it consists of a collection of private homes, which allows for the highest standard of hospitality in locations where you might not normally expect to stay. Each house (and host!) is individual and unique, and has earned its place by being just a little bit different. (In case you wondered, the name Wolsey Lodge is a reflection of Cardinal Wolsey, Lord Chancellor to Henry VIII, who expected to receive generous hospitality at any suitable country house he came across as he toured England. The reflection of those values of service and hospitality is what the "Lodges" within the company seek to offer, even today.)

So when you stay in a lodge, you are more than a guest: you are regarded as a member of the family and a friend. So, for example, you might expect to enjoy a home cooked meal in an atmosphere which resembles that of a welcoming dinner party - and often in a room that adds splendour to the occasion! Sometimes you will be with other guests, sometimes with your hosts....and while not all Wolsey Lodges provide an evening  dinner, your hosts will be happy to recommend the best local places to eat, and make a reservation for you.

Wolsey Lodges incorporate grand country houses, as well as fine Elizabethan manor houses, exquisite Georgian mansions, and countryside Victorian rectories, some extremely beautiful restored cottages, and elegant town houses of one kind or another. All boast individual features: a special history, an excellent location, beautiful surroundings or superb food. Most importantly, all Wolsey Lodge proprietors are in the business because they want to invite you into their own homes, of which they are very proud. And they all most certainly wish to make your stay as enjoyable as possible.

Greengarden House Apartments 

Greengarden House apartments are an inspiring, luxurious collection of one and two bedroom serviced apartments located in the best part of central London. The contemporary apartments provide everything an independent traveller could wish for: right in the heart of London's West End, situated very close to Bond Street, Marble Arch and Oxford Street, these apartments provide an independent living space for both business and pleasure. You're in the middle of the prime shopping area with specialist boutiques, an area which also includes the consulates of many countries, and so many historic monuments and attractions that you'll never be short of something new and exciting to do. Mayfair and Marylebone are remarkable for their beautiful period architecture. In fact, the very building where the apartments are located was designed by philanthropic architect Octavia Hill in Victorian times, which means you can enjoy the stunning gothic architecture that's her legacy, including the impressive arched doorways at the entrance.

Flemings Hotel, Mayfair, London

Flemings, renowned for its 5 star service, is ideally located in central London. Situated in a peaceful residential street off Piccadilly, a few steps from Green Park in the heart of fashionable Mayfair, it is fast becoming known as a 'cool' boutique style hotel. Flemings first opened as a hotel in 1851. This historic property converted from 6 Georgian townhouses is privately owned, and  has recently undergone a multi-million pound refurbishment. The breathtaking interiors are an eclectic mix of contemporary style and Georgian elegance with an intimacy that belies the 129 suites and discreet private luxury apartments. Head Chef Simon Henbery’s modern European Grill menu with seasonal variations is receiving rave reviews from diners who consider Flemings to be a sophisticated and culinary destination. His £10 Express Lunch, for main course and glass of wine, is perfect for busy people guaranteed to be on their way in 60 minutes. For a more leisurely experience, you can indulge in cupcakes and Champagne in the elegant Front Room or enjoy a signature afternoon tea ensconced in the glamorous Tea Rooms. Unique Couture Cocktails are mixed in the decadent Cocktail Bar, and the Looking Glass Room and the exquisite Private Dining Room are perfect for special occasions. With a relaxed ambience, a passion for service and individual attention, a visit to Flemings is often compared to being a member of a private club. The hotel is a perfect destination to suit each guest's requirements for leisure breaks, vacations or business trips to London.
