The Milestone Hotel and Residences

One of the best located hotels in London but the interiors are dark and somewhat dated.

Quirky Boutique Hotel with Five Star Views

It is hard to beat the location of The Milestone – on the edge of Hyde Park with great views of Kensington Palace. This Victorian hotel is heavy on chintz and personal touches but there the interior can feel quite dark and heavy. Perfect for travellers who like to feel like they are staying at someone’s home, not so good for those seeking a cutting edge, modern experience.
