The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences is one London’s most iconic hotels. Its great history includes legendary associations with Hollywood, with former guests including Elizabeth Taylor, Marlon Brando, Shirley Maclaine and Steven Spielberg, Cary Grant, John Wayne and Russell Crowe.

Leading British design studio Kinnersley Kent Design has transformed the hotel’s public spaces, including its bar and restaurant, which were created in partnership with Michelin-starred chefs Chris and Jeff Galvin.

The redesign celebrates The Athenaeum’s individuality and brings its unique personality to the fore. The design is playful and geometric, but not overly symmetrical – referencing the hotel’s art deco roots but with a thoroughly contemporary sensibility.
