Attentive service and elegant accommodations ensure that The Milestone Hotel lives up to its name. Housed in a meticulously restored Victorian mansion, this leading London hotel enjoys a superlative location overlooking Kensington Palace, just minutes from Royal Albert Hall, Knightsbridge and Chelsea. Sumptuously furnished guest rooms, suites and apartments are filled with antiques, while round-the-clock butler service and a range of dining options leave guests wanting for nothing. A trip to the exclusive wellness spa, with resistance pool and sauna, fitness studio and resident beauty therapist, is also an indulgent escape.

Charming, boutique, luxury hotel near Kensington Palace that prides itself on exemplary service. Our room had a lovely view of Kensington Park and was extremely quiet despite facing High Street. Management was attentive to a couple of small issues we encountered. Original artwork by French cartoonist known as "Sem" lines the walls throughout the hotel and adds to the charm.

Once again, The Milestone Hotel proves to be one of the best places to stay in Peterborough. I’m here on a business trip, and after a long day of work, I usually just want to relax and rest but the amazing staff, especially Ricas, Fabio, and the manager Talita, always make me want to come down to the lobby instead. Their warm welcome and friendly atmosphere make every stay special. The food is fantastic, and the service is consistently excellent. I highly recommend The Milestone Hotel to anyone visiting Peterborough!

My partner and I held our wedding at The Milestone Hotel, and it was an absolutely flawless and unforgettable experience. The hotel itself is the ideal setting: intimate, elegant, and sophisticated. The entire team provided impeccable service from the initial planning to the moment we left. Our wedding coordinator was a true professional; her calm demeanor and incredible responsiveness made the entire process stress-free and allowed us to fully enjoy our magical day. The quality was outstanding across the board. The food and beverages were exquisite, and the "Princess Suite" was stunning. We also must commend our waiter during dinner and the bartender in the Conservatory, who were both exceptionally friendly and contributed so much to our guests' wonderful experience. It was truly perfect celebration. The Milestone Hotel gave us the wedding of our dreams, and we cannot recommend it highly enough.

This is one of the best hotels I have visited because of its extraordinary elegance, refinement, and comfort, which extends to the facilities and the staff. The hotel's location--across the street from Kensington Gardens and a few steps from Kensington's High Street and the Royal Albert Hall--is excellent. The tourist buses that take you around London can be picked up right outside the door. The breakfast is sensational. On our third, final night I stopped into the bar for an evening drink, which was also a great experience. The bar staff is great as are the servers in the restaurant, the concierge, the front desk people, and the doormen. The Milestone was one of the true highlights of our short, first stay in London, and we are planning to return. Noel Coward stayed at the Milestone and, when we returned home, by chance we went to see the movie "Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale" in which Coward plays a central role. We felt as though we were part of the story!

I traveled to London and stayed at The Milestone Hotel this summer. It was a wonderful experience. I can't say enough good things about this hotel. The service was excellent along with the accommodations. I highly recommend it and look forward to staying again in the future!

We stayed at the fabulous Milestone Hotel in London, opposite Kensington Palace. The service and attention to detail of everyone from the manager to our own personal butler was a most truly unforgettable experience. Staff we had never met before even knew our names at all times. Very friendly and professional.

My husband and I have stayed in 5 star hotels all over the world. If there was a way to give The Milestone more than 5 stars - I would give them 15 stars. It is quite possibly the best hotel I have ever stayed in London or anywhere else. Our room was large and beautiful, with amenities I have never seen anywhere else, like a silver case with printed cards with my name and all the hotel information to give out while I was staying at the Milestone. Every little thing that we might need was thought of. If you read the website - it sounds too good to be true, but it is even better than described.
The staff was perfect. We felt like honored members of a very exclusive club. I had filled out an email questionnaire and they got everything right. When we first walked into the bar, the barman said, "Good evening." He knew our names and then he reached for a bottle of my husband's favorite rum. We will never stay anywhere else in London.
