When overseas golfers are planning a trip to England, one of the questions we are most often asked is very simple: where should we stay in London?
With so much choice in the capital, a recommendation from people who know the city well can make a real difference when planning an itinerary. The Athenaeum is one of those hotels we are very comfortable recommending, and we are pleased to welcome The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences as a new member of Golf Tourism England.
Andrew Cooke, CEO of Golf Tourism England, said:
“London is the arrival point for many overseas golfers travelling to England and we are frequently asked where visitors should stay in the capital. The Athenaeum is perfectly placed on Piccadilly and offers exactly what many golfers are looking for – a central location, comfortable rooms and a welcoming atmosphere.”
Located directly opposite Green Park on Piccadilly, the hotel sits in one of the best positions in London. Buckingham Palace, Hyde Park and Knightsbridge are all within easy walking distance, while the restaurants, galleries and theatres of Mayfair and the West End are just around the corner.
For many itineraries, London works well either at the start or end of a trip. Many of England’s best courses are within easy reach of the capital, making it easy to combine time in the city with rounds at some of the country’s most historic clubs.
The Athenaeum itself offers a relaxed Mayfair base, with a mix of rooms, suites and townhouse residences overlooking either Piccadilly or Green Park. Guests can enjoy contemporary British dining at 116 at The Athenaeum, drinks on the terrace and the calm of the hotel’s spa after a day on the course or exploring the city.
We are delighted to welcome The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences to Golf Tourism England and look forward to working together to showcase London as the gateway to some of the finest golf in the country.
