The award-winning, family-run Athenaeum Hotel & Residences is participating in London Cocktail Week for the first time this year and it does not disappoint. To mark the occasion, the five-star hotel is introducing a limited-edition cocktail called The Atherol Daiquiri, inviting all cocktail enthusiasts to enjoy this special drink at their intimate hideaway bar, celebrating the world’s largest cocktail festival.
For London Cocktail Week wristband holders, The Atherol Daiquiri is priced at just £8 (£12 without a wristband). This refreshing citrus cocktail, made with Aperol, a house rum blend, Green Chartreuse, lime, and grapefruit, builds on the hotel’s popular Atherol Spritz, previously featured on their Summer Spritz Terrace Menu in collaboration with Hayman’s Gin. Guests can savour the vibrant flavours served in an elegant coupe glass all while taking in the sophisticated and warm atmosphere.
Known for its rich history and connection to Hollywood’s elite, The Athenaeum recently launched a new bar menu, paying homage to the golden age of cinema. Iconic names like Elizabeth Taylor, Russell Crowe, and Steven Spielberg were among the many stars who frequented the hotel’s bar and today, the venue continues to welcome celebrated figures from around the world.
The new cocktail menu, dubbed “Sally’s Signatures,” offers innovative drinks like the Tinseltown on the Thames (£18), featuring cacao-infused Knob Creek, sugar, and bitters; the Princess of Piccadilly (£19), made with Gusbourne, Campanero Anejo, clarified grapefruit cordial, and bitters; and the Duchess of Duke Street (£16), a refreshing mix of Hayman’s Old Tom, St Germain, Aperol, cranberry, lime, mint, and jam.
The bar’s cosy, elegant atmosphere is accentuated by floor-to-ceiling windows offering views of the hotel’s striking Living Wall. It’s the perfect spot for you to relax in plush sofas and leather chairs while enjoying unique cocktails in a luxurious “Secret Garden Hideaway.”
Blending five-star luxury with an independent spirit, The Athenaeum Hotel & Residences is a family-run hotel with a prime location overlooking London’s beautiful Royal Green Park. Its proximity to the West End, Bond Street’s designer boutiques, and Buckingham Palace makes it an ideal base for exploring the city. The hotel’s rooms and suites boast stunning views of Green Park or the charming streets of Mayfair, while contemporary serviced apartments, located in nearby Victorian townhouses, offer a homely touch for extended stays.
London Cocktail Week, the world’s first and most renowned Cocktail Week, is a vibrant celebration of London’s thriving bar scene and the talented people behind it. Start it off the right way with a visit to the Athenaeum Hotel bar for a cocktail you won’t forget.
