The Milestone Hotel and Residences across Kensington Palace and Gardens in London, United Kingdom
You might think kids are easy to impress, but mine can be surprisingly tough critics. Yet, the moment they met Steve, the doorman at The Milestone Hotel and Residences , they were sold. All it took was a friendly face, a silly handshake and a few jokes outside this historic London hotel overlooking Kensington Gardens.
The Milestone is part of Red Carnation Hotels , a family-owned collection of luxury boutique hotels with properties across Europe and Africa. The group was founded by Stanley and Beatrice Tollman, whose family continues to run the business today.
