Accommodations
Every Room is Unique
Unlike larger hotels where rooms feel uniform, The Milestone’s 44 rooms, 12 suites, and 6residences are all individually designed. Think rich fabrics, antique furnishings, and intricate details that make each space feel like a private residence rather than a hotel. Some rooms have classic Edwardian charm, while others lean into vintage glamour.
I toured the Master Suite, a two-story retreat with an open balcony, a spacious sitting area, and a luxurious double sofa bed, making it ideal for those wanting a little extra space. Families will love the connecting Deluxe rooms and the residences (2-3 bedrooms) that offer all the comforts of home with full hotel service.

Dining & Exclusive Experiences
A Taste of Timeless Elegance
One of the highlights of my visit was seeing The Stables Bar, which has recently been renovated and now offers twice the space, perfect for an intimate cocktail before heading out for the evening. The hotel’s main restaurant, Cheneston’s, serves classic British cuisine inan intimate, wood-paneled setting. And, for those looking for a special experience, The Milestone offers private dining in “The Oratory”, an intimate, former chapel that seats just eight guests—perfect for an unforgettable evening.

Wellness & Thoughtful Touches
A Personalized, Private Experience
Unlike most city hotels, The Milestone offers a private health club experience—guests can book the gym, sauna, and resistance pool for an hour of exclusive use. It’s these kinds of thoughtful details that make the hotel feel personal and tailored to each guest. One thing that stood out to me was how affordable the residences are compared to similar options in London—starting at £1,500 per night for a three-bedroom, making it an excellent choice for families who want luxury, space, and an unbeatable location.
