History

In 1971 the Rank Organisation purchased the 1930’s Athenaeum Court apartment block, opening it as The Athenaeum Hotel after a two year refurbishment. Through Rank’s direct links to Hollywood the hotel attracted guests including Stephen Spielberg, Marlon Brando, Harrison Ford, Lauren Bacall, Liza Minelli and Warren Beatty. Rank encouraged its stars (including Elizabeth Taylor) to take up residence at the hotel whilst working on film projects in England. The Hollywood Reporter observed that there were more movie stars to be seen in London’s Athenaeum than in the Polo Lounge of the Beverly Hills Hotel.

For over twenty years Sally Bulloch was the Executive Manager [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/1896195/Sally-Bulloch.html] [http://www.sallybulloch.co.uk/index.html] .

In 1992, the Athenaeum was purchased by Ralph Trustees Limited, a family run business who also own The Grove in Hertfordshire and the Runnymede Hotel & Spa near Windsor.
