The Milestone Hotel and Residences

Located opposite Kensington Palace and Gardens, The Milestone Hotel and Residences is a Forbes Five-Star Victorian mansion blending rich heritage with five-star luxury. Part of the Red Carnation Hotel Collection, this boutique hotel features individually styled guest rooms, opulent suites, and six fully serviced private residences designed for extended stays and multi-generational travel.

The hotel’s food and beverage offerings feature several exciting updates. Cheneston’s Restaurant has introduced a vibrant menu centered around seasonal sharing dishes under its newly appointed Chef. Drinks are anchored at the newly renovated Stables Bar, now helmed by Victoria—the collection’s first-ever female bar manager—serving signature cocktails in a warm, equestrian-inspired setting. The property is also launching its new Celestial Afternoon Tea in September, served alongside traditional tea service in the Park Lounge and Conservatory.

For special occasions, micro-weddings, and romantic dinners, The Oratory—the building’s original, historic private chapel—provides an exceptionally intimate venue for private hire.
