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 Milestone is a wonderful place to stay in London. The service and staff are excellent. We had breakfast each day and it was good. We also highly recommend their high tea.

One of the most stunning, intentionally appointed, captivating hotels I have stayed in. Thoughtful staff, incredible location, delicious food, and the best hotel bar in the world. Most of London's best neighborhoods within walking distance, in a great area with quick access to cabs (which the wonderful doorman will hail on your behalf) and a tube station right around the corner. The rooms are all unique, and I am a total interior design snob so I was obsessed. The staff let thoughtful turndown service treats, everything was immaculate, and very spacious.

Lovely experience! The atmosphere felt elegant and relaxing, the tea and pastries were delicious, and Akhil and Tim were both so friendly and welcoming.

We had a lovely experience staying at the Milestone. We attended a concert at the Royal Albert Hall so it was very conveniently situated and made for an easy stroll there and back. We were made to feel extremely welcome. All the staff are exceptionally friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The room is beautifully decorated and very comfortable. The spa, pool and gym are beautiful and as you book the space, completely private. We loved our stay and would definitely return.

I can’t find enough words to describe our experience at the Milestone. It is a magnificent hotel in every way - the beauty, our room, ambience, comfort, service, food, housekeeping. Everyone was helpful, caring, warm. Alice, Dorina, Stephen, Victoria are a few names we remember, but everyone was amazing. Thank you! The Milestone will definitely be our London hotel of choice in the future.

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.
