The Best Views in London: The Rooftop Suite at The Athenaeum Hotel

The Athenaeum-- the small family-owned hotel in Mayfair-- is known to bend over backwards for guests, creating "a home away from home" in London. The concierge can devise a city itinerary just for you, whether you want to catch a show, sup at a happening restaurant, or whiz around galleries and museums. Back at the hotel, stop by the hotel's Whisky Bar where the dedicated Whisky Sommelier, one of only two in London, can provide an individual whisky tasting experience, helping you choose between the 270 available varieties. Then bed down in five-star luxury in guest rooms that are outfitted for your complete comfort with a pillow menu, your favorite magazines, Bose speakers for your iPod, complimentary treats in your mini-bar... Best room of all: the hotel's new Rooftop Suite, where abundant windows provide endless views of iconic London sights dotting the city skyline. There's a private balcony with panoramic views, a Jacuzzi bathroom with a TV and a shower with views over Green Park, and a choice of three double bedrooms, two bathrooms and six plasma screen TVs. That's not all. This apartment suite comes equipped with bountiful extras like free Wifi, Nespresso coffee, daily newspapers, and a mini-bar with free soft drinks, nibbles, and ice cream.
