The Milestone

Frommer's Review

This government-rated five-star boutique hotel, conveniently located in a Victorian town house across the street from Kensington Palace, offers modern luxury in an intimate, traditional setting. The Milestone's beautiful public rooms are awash with fresh flowers, dark woods, antique furnishings, and fabric wallcoverings, creating the cozy atmosphere of a private manor house.

Guest rooms and suites are spread over six floors and vary in size, decor, and shape (a few rooms are a bit small). The masculine Savile Row Room is "papered" in pinstriped material and sports a tailor's dummy and books on men's fashion; the serene Royal Studio has a small balcony and a sleigh bed; and the bi-level Club Suite offers an English library-style lounge, complete with an antique billiards table. You can request a room overlooking the palace and Kensington Gardens.
