If you are going to celebrate a “Milestone” moment do it well and make it memorable and bespoke – it’s often the little touches that get remembered the longest. The more we know about guests in advance of their stay, the better we’ll be able to ensure their experience is truly memorable and unique. We send out Guest Preference forms in advance and our Guest Services team are also able to liaise with the guest on property to set up any other specific requirements.

Q5. Can you tell us about the most romantic moment you have organised or witnessed at The Milestone Hotel? We’ve had a fair amount of proposals in our Oratory but we had one very organised fiancée who clued us in ahead of the ‘event’. All details were pre-arranged, down to the specific suite booked. Bentley pick-up with Colin, romantic turndown in the room, favourite cocktail made in Stables Bar, candle-lit dinner in the Oratory and special personalised celebration cake placed in the room once we knew the answer was yes. Private tour of Kensington Palace arranged (as the bride-to-be loved all things Princess Diana) and carriage ride the next day. They returned to us on their first year anniversary and we had a framed photo in the room of their initial ‘engagement’ stay plus a romantic turndown and offered complimentary bottle of Champagne.
