#9 Providence Athenaeum,More info:atlasobscura
THE PROVIDENCE LIBRARY COMPANY WAS founded in 1753 by a group of Providentians who wanted to read but could not afford to have books shipped from Europe on their own. Before the city had a public lending library, this organization gave members access to the world through shared books for a small fee. The company eventually set up shop in the Athenaeum (named for Athena, Greek goddess of wisdom) in 1836. It’s been an institution ever since.
Don’t be daunted by the neoclassical columns and name. The Athenaeum, or “the Ath” as some of its regulars know it, is for everyone. On any given day, anyone can drop in and browse the stacks, which include gems like the 1855 edition of Leaves of Grass (containing notes in Walt Whitman’s own handwriting), an 1830s book on astronomy, and a Regency-era book of boys’ entertainments.

#4 Galvin at The Athenaeum, Mayfair – tried and tasted,More info:standard
The Athenaeum, on Piccadilly, is part of the quiet old guard of London luxury, one of those five-star hotels with a name that everyone half-recognises for no particular reason. Once owned by the Rank Organisation, guests today walk the same halls Elizabeth Taylor and Marlon Brando did (Kim Kardashian too, to bring things up to date).
Recently thoroughly renovated, they’ve partnered with The Galvin Brothers, Chris and Jeff, to look after the hotel’s catering – all of it, every last plateful, from breakfast through to supper and round through the night. This must, then, surely be some of the finest room service in London.
#3 The Athenaeum of Philadelphia,More info:visitphilly
The 1840s brownstone that houses as The Athenaeum of Philadelphia, a National Historic Landmark designed by architect John Notman, boasts one of Philadelphia’s finest 19th century interiors as well as a research collection dedicated to architecture and interior design.
Tours of the restored reading rooms are available by appointment, as is access to research in the collections of books, architectural drawings, photographs and manuscripts representing the work of more than 2,000 American architects and firms.
No appointment is necessary to visit the exhibition gallery on the first-floor, which delves into the history of buildings and design.
