The Milestone Hotel & Residences
A very British boutique hotel
VERIFIED LUXURY
Here are five things to know about us:
1. We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
2. We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
3. Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
4. While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
5. We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.

The grand Kensington building now known as The Milestone Hotel & Residences began life as three separate Victorian townhouses. Converted in 1922 (with the second and third properties added in 1929 and 2000, respectively), the place retains an air of homeliness — albeit of the most luxurious variety — that is difficult to find in a central London hotel, especially one in such an enviable location. The Milestone is located across the street from the famed Kensington Gardens and a short walk from the clothing shops on Kensington High Street and the antique emporiums on Kensington Church Street.
It’s a buzzy neighborhood, but inside The Milestone quiet elegance reigns. With a staff-to-room ratio of 115 to 62, The Milestone has employees who are ready and willing to go the extra mile, from the concierge’s
London events newsletter to the team assembling signature picnics and midnight snacks.
