“The Milestone Hotel Kensington strikes me as a balanced blend of Victorian architecture and modern luxury, made more unique with its in-suite performances by the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and welcomes families-pets included. I believe its personalized service and distinctive experiences, like urban foraging, set it apart from other London hotels; Cheneston's on-site dining particularly stands out. It's a property that seems designed to create a lasting impression.”

the concierge knew the city well. he gave excellent advice and found the best restaurant reservations. the stables bar had very good cocktails and snacks too. the breakfast offered many choices.

The drilling noise above the room woke me up daily. It was very loud. also, the fire alarm went off on the first night, startling. the basement spa and pool were temporarily closed. It was disappointing.
