Overlooking Kensington Gardens, The Milestone pairs five-star polish with the intimacy of a grand townhouse. Behind its red-brick façade are wood-panelled drawing rooms, patterned wallpapers, and richly dressed suites that channel a sense of English tradition with indulgent detail. The hotel’s public rooms—most notably its cosy Stables Bar and the light-filled conservatory for afternoon tea—balance formality with warmth.

Its location, just across from Kensington Palace, places guests at the edge of Hyde Park and within easy reach of Knightsbridge and South Kensington. Service is finely tuned and highly personalised, from butlers and chauffeurs to pet-friendly touches. Bedrooms vary from richly classical to individually themed suites, all maintaining the hotel’s rhythm of discreet, old-world luxury with modern service.
