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.

The amenities, the service and the location...all top notch! My main criticism is that the view of Kensington Park from the "Park Suite" is above the couch! As in, one has to stand on the couch to look out the little window above it to see the park. The other windows on the other side of the suite look into apartments across the street. Quite disappointing at any cost.

We loved our five day stay at the Milestone Hotel.This was my second time and my husband's first and he couldn't say enough wonderful things.Afternoon tea was delightful. Services including the front desk and housekeeping was outstanding.

Our experience at The Milestone Hotel was truly wonderful. The hotel is beautiful, and from the moment you arrive you feel as if you’ve stepped into a fairy tale. The old-world atmosphere, together with the kindness and efficiency of the staff, makes you feel pampered and completely at ease. I would recommend this outstanding hotel to anyone — it’s worth every single penny you spend to stay there.

We have stayed previously at Ashford Castle, and the Milestone is a sister hotel. This proved to be a wonderful place to stay. The hotel itself is cosy with lots of nooks and crannies and lovely decor. Our room was large and well appointed. The bar area is very nice and quirky, set over several levels. Kensington Park, which is directly opposite is perfect for a post breakfast, pre-dinner walk. However, it is the staff who really make the hotel into a great place to stay. The reception staff and in particular, the doormen are great fun. No matter how busy it is outside they will have a taxi ready for you in seconds. If you prefer, Kensington High Street tube station is a few minutes away. This is a great place to stay and from which to explore London. If you are looking for a very “British” hotel, this is perfect, it is as far away as you can get from the large hotels that could be anywhere in the world. We loved it.

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.
