The Milestone Hotel & Residences

1 Kensington Court, London, W8 5DL, United Kingdom

Love at First Sight

Situated directly opposite Kensington Palace, The Milestone Hotel & Residences offers exceptional views across the gardens to this most famous of homes. As part of The Red Carnation Hotel Collection, our wonderfully opulent and charming hotel is a treasure trove of stylish, individually designed rooms, suites, and residences adorned with rich furnishings and original artworks. Within our historic walls, guests can savour exceptional English cuisine at Cheneston’s restaurant, enjoy expertly crafted cocktails in the intimate Stables Bar, and indulge in a classic British afternoon tea in the sophisticated Park Lounge. The Milestone blends timeless charm with impeccable service for an unforgettable stay.

Romance

The Milestone Hotel & Residences has long been a haven for romance, where every moment is effortlessly orchestrated to create an unforgettable experience. From romantic turndowns and midnight feasts to bespoke picnics in Kensington Gardens, our attentive team ensures every detail is perfect.

Many couples, enchanted by the hotel’s timeless charm, choose The Milestone for their wedding day. With a dedicated events coordinator and the option to exchange vows in the historic Oratory, your celebration will be as unique and beautiful as your love story.

Your Stay

Each guest room at The Milestone is a work of art – a grand statement of colour and style – adorned with fine fabrics, fresh flowers, antique furnishings, and rare artworks. No two rooms or suites are alike, yet each of our 43 deluxe guest rooms, 13 luxury suites and six long-stay residences casts its own spell, some with wonderful views overlooking Kensington Palace and Gardens.

Our flexible rooms, suites and residences are perfect for families and groups staying together. Interconnecting rooms sleeping up to 10 people can be created, combining the Club Suite, a Studio Suite and two deluxe bedrooms over two floors creating one large space together. Other options are also available.

Each room is an outstanding example of romantic elegance, comfort, and luxury, and yet each combines the latest 21st-century technology that one would expect from a mansion property of its calibre - with complimentary high-speed wireless internet and interactive TV with movies on demand. You'll find plenty of thoughtful touches such as home-made cookies, chilled mineral water, hand-picked seasonal fruits and complimentary newspapers to name a few.

What to Do

At The Milestone, romance is woven into every experience. Indulge in a private dining experience in the Oratory or enjoy a Champagne toast by the fire in our cosy Park Lounge. Let our team arrange an intimate afternoon tea for two, or retreat to the Stables Bar to share a signature cocktail in an enchanting setting.

For those seeking adventure beyond the hotel, The Milestone is perfectly positioned opposite Kensington Gardens, ideal for a romantic stroll or a serene rowing boat ride on the Round Pond. Explore nearby cultural treasures, such as the Victoria and Albert Museum or the Royal Albert Hall, which regularly hosts world-class performances.

Treat yourselves to the ultimate indulgence with a day of shopping in the boutiques of Kensington High Street or the iconic Harrods, both just moments away. For a truly unforgettable evening, allow our concierge to book a private carriage ride through Hyde Park or reserve exclusive dining at one of London’s acclaimed Michelin-starred restaurants.

Whether within our walls or exploring the charm of London, The Milestone offers countless ways to create cherished memories together.

The Food of Love

At The Milestone Hotel & Residences, love is savoured with every bite. Cheneston’s, our elegant fine-dining restaurant, offers a true celebration of English cuisine. From seasonal delicacies to locally sourced ingredients, each dish is crafted with care to create an unforgettable dining experience for two.

Indulge in the timeless romance of a Champagne Afternoon Tea in the Park Lounge. With its crackling fire and views of Kensington Gardens, this quintessentially British ritual offers a moment of indulgence, complete with delicate pastries, freshly baked scones, and the finest bubbles.

For a more relaxed yet equally enchanting setting, the Stables Bar serves elevated small plates alongside a curated selection of fine wines and cocktails. Its intimate atmosphere, adorned with equestrian-inspired artwork, makes it the perfect hideaway for an evening of connection and conversation.
