Afternoon Tea Awards 2024 - 'Award of Excellence'

Taking its name from the original cast iron milestone that stands against one of its walls The Milestone Hotel is a deluxe 5 star boutique hotel overlooking Kensington Palace, former home to Princess Diana, and Kensington Gardens. Built in the late 19th Century as two townhouses, the hotel is a listed building and the restoration has been meticulously done according to English Heritage standards with original fireplaces, carved wood panelling, high ceilings and large ornate windows. 

Their Afternoon Tea is served in either the Park Lounge or the Chenestons Restaurant and the choice is at the discretion of the venue dependant on availability.

The interior of the Park Lounge is decorated with antiques and elegant furnishings that provides guests with an opulent environment to indulge in a selection of delicious sweet and savoury treats.

Chenestons Restaurant provides a similiarly sophisticated experience. Deriving its name from an early spelling of Kensington, this luxurious restaurant features traditional mahogany furniture and wood panelling that creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere to enjoy Afternoon Tea.

For the month of June, The Milestone Hotel and Residences' Stables Bar is partnering with Desi Daru vodka for a "Martini & Caviar" campaign featuring three unique cocktails: the Classic Martini with Caviar (£26), the Signature Martini with Cardamom Bitters, and the Tropical Martini with Desi Daru Mango Vodka, Fig Leaf, Vermouth, and Chilli (both £18). Each cocktail is thoughtfully paired with astrological signs—water signs with the refined Classic Martini, earth signs with the warm and spiced Cardamom Martini, and fire signs with the bold, tropical blend.

The Milestone Hotel received an 'Award of Excellence' in the Afternoon Tea Awards 2023, in recognition of their high standards of Afternoon Tea service.

Afternoon Tea is served at 1pm, 3pm and 5pm sittings
