Design has completed the multi-million-pound
refurbishment of one of London’s most iconic hotels
– The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences – remodeling
the interiors and adding new layers of warm and subtle
glamour to this family-run, five-star, thoroughlyindependent jewel in the heart of Mayfair.
The scope of works undertaken by Kinnersley
Kent Design, one of the UK’s most established
and celebrated practices, includes brand strategy,
positioning and identity work - undertaken in
partnership with the hotel’s owners and close-knit
internal team - as well as external architectural works
and a full interior architectural and design renovation,
transforming the hotel’s public spaces, from the lobby,
lounge and first floor meeting areas to a spectacular
new bar – ‘THE BAR at The Athenaeum’ - and the
elegant, day-to-night restaurant offer – ‘Galvin at The
Athenaeum’.
Michelin-starred chefs The Galvin Brothers are now
in charge of the full F&B offer at The Athenaeum,
in an exciting partnership for both parties. The F&B
offer for guests ranges from all meals and snacks from
breakfast-time through to dinner, as well as afternoon
tea, private dining and 24/7 in-room dining. Known
for their impeccable French cuisine, acclaimed
restaurateurs Chris and Jeff Galvin will be offering
a modern take on classic British dishes alongside
established favourites, using seasonal British flavours
and home-grown produce.
