THE MILESTONE HOTEL - LONDON, ENGLAND

THE MILESTONE HOTEL
LONDON, ENGLAND 

Voted #1 in the Conde Nast Traveler Readers Choice Awards and named top small city hotel in Europe by Travel & Leisure Magazine in their World's Best Hotels.  This Victorian Masterpiece is the benchmark for luxury and service.  Like its sister Hotel 41 the Milestone is part of the Red Carnation hotel group owned by Bea Tollman.  Bea has been in the hotel business since she married her husband when she was in her twenties.  Now in her 70's, Bea has built a small hotel empire with around 15 hotels in England and around the world.  The service at the Milestone was fantastic.  Not quite has incredible as Hotel 41 but surely tops in the business.  The hotel is located directly across from Kensington Palace and is at the entry to a chic shopping district.  We were provided excellent service by the concierge who recommended and arranged  lunch, dinner at sightseeing outings.  The hotel has a small restaurant with live music playing in the evenings.  The Stables Bar is filled with horse racing decorations.  It is small but comfortable.  The Park Lounge features a fireplace with an award winning afternoon tea.  The hotel has 44 guest rooms, 12 suites and 6 apartment units.  There is a fine dining restaurant within the hotel called Chenestons.  We were upgraded to the most beautiful room I have ever stayed in.  Simply amazing space with a separate room for our daughter.  The furnishings were beautiful.  They had jars of candy throughout the room and each evening a different snack with water was placed in the room.  My girls fell in love with the apples and caramel snack.  When another dish was placed in the room the next night, they called the front desk and asked to have the apples again.  The apples were in the room within five minutes.  We needed a voltage adapter and called down to the front desk to request one.  Within one minute of our call the adapter was at our door.  Every time we entered the lobby, the bell staff would greet us by name.  Same with the waiters and concierge.  This is truly a special little hotel that we were blessed to stay at.
