The Athenaeum is a charming hotel located on the CalTech Campus, offering a beautiful old-century feel. The rooms are cozy and well-furnished, with the convenience of 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. Parking is available for invited guests in the adjacent lot. The buffet dinner is highly recommended, with delicious food. A recent luncheon experience showcased traditional yet tasty dishes, served with excellent and attentive waitstaff. The club's ambiance retains a historical charm, making visitors feel like they've stepped back in time. The Athenaeum also offers event spaces for meetings or parties, featuring wood paneling and a warm fireplace. Despite some minor service hiccups, dining or staying at The Athenaeum is a delightful experience that shouldn't be missed.
