The Athenaeum is a charming hotel located on the CalTech Campus, offering a beautiful old-century feel. The rooms are cozy and well-furnished, complete with private bathrooms. Guests can enjoy the quiet and elegant sitting room with a stunning fireplace. The main dining room enforces a dress code, while outdoor dining is more relaxed. The buffet dinner is highly recommended, but the menu also features excellent dishes like Grilled Hanger Steak, which comes with chipotle lime marinade, garlic yucca fries, and roasted corn salsa. The dining experience showcases traditional yet tasty dishes, served by excellent and attentive waitstaff. The club's ambiance retains a historical charm, making visitors feel like they've stepped back in time. The Athenaeum offers event spaces for meetings or parties, featuring wood paneling and a warm fireplace, making it a wonderful choice for family celebrations or even weddings. The atmosphere combines the elegance of a private club with the comfort of a gracious Southern California home, welcoming to all, including children who can enjoy special events.
