The Milestone Hotel and Apartments

Opposite Kensington Palace & Gardens (the London residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and son Prince George), just a five-minute walk from the Royal Albert Hall and around the corner from Harrods and Harvey Nichols, is The Milestone Hotel and Apartments. The throbbing heart of London's most exclusive neighbourhood, this is the Royal Borough of Kensington with Hyde Park, upscale shopping, popular museums and endless tourist attractions on its doorstep. The Milestone's blend of personal service (complete a guest preference form prior to arrival to receive all your favourite treats), family and pet-friendly policies, opulent comfort and inspired cuisine see it winning accolades year after year. With a staff to guest ratio of 2:1 it's no wonder. Each room, suite and apartment is utterly different, fashioned with fine fabrics, fresh flowers, antique furnishings and rare works of art. The club-like Stables Bar is a cosy spot for a drink (try one of Markus' cocktails) and the chic black and white conservatory is ideal for intimate meetings, teas and light snacks while the sophisticated Cheneston's Restaurant rustles up some of the finest cuisine in the city. Burn off all this indulgence with a trip to the fitness centre complete with resistance pool, sauna and therapy treatments. The Milestone's philosophy: "no request is too large, no detail too small."
