Room information

No 2 rooms or suites are alike; some are richly decorated for a more intimate, inward-looking mood whilst others make the most of their stunning views over Kensington Palace and Gardens. At The Milestone, every room is an outstanding example of romantic elegance, comfort, and luxury.

To keep your room looking pristine, the maid visits twice a day. Each time, she leaves a few special treats - homemade cookies, bonbons, tomorrow's weather forecast, chilled mineral water, hand-picked seasonal fruits, complimentary newspapers, delicious canapés, candles in the bathroom – perhaps even a small book of poetry.

Your room at The Milestone may be a sumptuous private dream world, but there's still plenty of discreet 21st-century technology to keep you in touch. There's a high-speed wireless internet connection and interactive TV with movies on demand.

24-hour butler service is available for all guests.

Food & beverage

You can dine in Cheneston's restaurant, unwind in the Stables bar, sip cocktails in the Conservatory, or take tea by the fire in the Lounge.

Serving a fine international cuisine with an accent on modern British dishes, the kitchen balances its natural creativity with a superb range of traditional comfort foods and a willingness to cook something special just for you. If they have the ingredients to hand (organic and, wherever possible, locally sourced), they'll rustle up exactly what you want – when you want.

There's a fine choice of wine too - more than 400 vintages, many of them personally chosen by Nicolas Clerc, the Ruinart UK Sommelier of the Year 2007. Passion for fine wines and gourmet food are the driving force behind the popular wine dinners, 8-course degustation menu, and a year-round season of special gourmet events.

Area information

Nearby attractions include the Royal Albert Hall and the Albert Memorial, the Science Museum, the Natural History Museum (the dinosaurs never fail to delight), and the Victoria and Albert Museum (for stunning style and design).

Cross the road and you'll find Kensington Palace and Gardens, which lead on to Hyde Park and the famous Serpentine.

Knightsbridge is home to Harvey Nichols and the world's most famous department store, Harrods. For antique collectors, there's Kensington Church Street, with more than 60 dealers offering everything from antique furniture to impressionist paintings. Slightly further afield, you may find a bargain in the street markets around Notting Hill.

The West End and theatreland are also within easy reach. A short taxi ride takes you to Piccadilly Circus and the theatres off Shaftesbury Avenue.
