The Athenaeum Hotel Meets Costa del Sol: A Celebration of Partnership, Place and Mediterranean Spirit

Some partnerships feel natural from the very beginning. This is one of them.

At Journeys United Kingdom 2026, we are proud to bring together two long-standing and valued partners — The Athenaeum Hotel and Costa del Sol — for a moment in the programme that captures exactly what Journeys is about: experience, atmosphere, and meaningful connection.

The Athenaeum: A London address that delivers, every time

The Athenaeum Hotel is one of those rare properties that balances heritage with a fresh, contemporary energy.

Perfectly positioned in Mayfair, it offers the kind of setting that feels both refined and welcoming — never overstated, always considered. It is a hotel that understands its audience and delivers with quiet confidence.

As an Accommodation Partner for Journeys United Kingdom 2026, The Athenaeum plays an important role in shaping the overall experience. It is not just about where people stay, but how they feel while they are there.

Comfortable, intuitive, and effortlessly polished — exactly what is needed during a busy, high-value event.

A Mediterranean moment in the heart of London

During the programme, The Athenaeum will host a Spanish-themed lunch sponsored by Costa del Sol — a highlight that promises to bring a completely different energy into the event.

This is where London meets the Mediterranean.

Expect a moment that feels lighter, warmer, and full of flavour — a setting that naturally encourages conversation, connection, and a shift in pace. These are the moments that stay with people, and this is exactly why they matter.

Costa del Sol: A partner from the very beginning

Costa del Sol has been part of the Journeys story since the early days.

Their continued support speaks volumes — not just about the strength of the relationship, but about a shared belief in what Journeys represents. Trust, consistency, and a commitment to doing things properly.

As a destination, Costa del Sol continues to evolve while staying true to what makes it so compelling:

• A Mediterranean lifestyle that blends ease with sophistication

• A strong luxury offering, from high-end resorts to exceptional experiences

• Accessibility combined with depth — making it relevant for a wide range of travellers

It is a destination that understands how to host, how to welcome, and how to create moments that feel both relaxed and elevated.

Why this collaboration works

Bringing Costa del Sol into The Athenaeum for this lunch is not just a creative choice — it is a strategic one.

It reflects what Journeys does best: blending places, people, and experiences to create something that feels seamless and intentional.

The setting of The Athenaeum provides the perfect backdrop. The spirit of Costa del Sol brings the warmth, the flavour, and the sense of escape.

Together, they create something that is more than the sum of its parts.

Looking ahead

As we bring together the best senior buyers from across the UK and beyond, moments like this Spanish-themed lunch will play a key role in shaping the overall experience.

They offer a pause, a shift in energy, and an opportunity to connect in a different way.

We are incredibly proud to have both The Athenaeum Hotel and Costa del Sol as part of Journeys United Kingdom 2026.

Two partners who have supported the journey, understood the vision, and continue to bring real value to the experience.

And this is just one of the moments where it all comes together beautifully.

Ciao ed a presto
