Milestone Hotel & Apartments

$$$$$, Kensington

Fodor's Review:

This pair of intricately decorated Victorian town houses overlooking Kensington Palace and Gardens is an intimate, luxurious alternative to the city's more famous five-star hotels. Great thoughtfulness goes into the hospitality and everything is possible in this special place. You'll be offered a welcome drink upon arrival and, if you so desire, you can return to a post-theater midnight snack in your room or leave with a picnic basket for the park across the street. The staff is friendly and efficient, but never too familiar. Each sumptuous room is full of antiques; many have canopied beds. A favorite is the Ascot Room, which is filled with elegant hats of the kind worn at the famous races.
