Follow in The Footsteps of King Charles III <br> at The Milestone Hotel & Residences, Kensington

In anticipation of the Coronation of King Charles III on May 6th, five-star The Milestone Hotel & Residences, in collaboration with treasured local partner Linda Hugo from Beyond Curated, has curated an authentically royal experience for guests to enjoy. Just a stone’s throw away from Kensington Palace and Gardens in a Grade-II listed Victorian building, The Milestone Hotel & Residences is no stranger to the royal family and all it encapsulates. This specially curated experience will take guests on a journey through London’s most historic sites through previous and current royals’ eyes as the city prepares for a historic celebration this Spring.

Accompanied by a personal host and expert royal guide, guests will start their historic journey with a luxurious driving tour throughout the city of London, visiting the most iconic landmarks associated with all three King Charles’s. On the tour, guests will experience the best of London – from Clarence House, to St. James Place, to Buckingham Palace, and St. Paul’s Cathedral – all with the option to ride in the Queen Mother’s Jaguar Daimler, which King Charles III would have been chauffeured in at some point in his life.

This tour will start by showing guests the royal warrant holders of St. James’s, where King Charles III currently procures some of his essentials. When visiting the Tower of London, they will see the coveted armour of King Charles I on an exclusive tour with the Yeoman Warders who can each share their boundless knowledge of the Crown Jewels and the Tower’s fascinating history. Throughout the day, the presence of King Charles II can be felt all throughout the city, and the royal guide will touch on his influence as they visit the monument of the Great Fire of London, where he can be seen draped in Roman robes. Later, guests will make a final stop at St. Paul’s Cathedral and the Guildhall Art Gallery to view the 1969 bust of the young King Charles III. Throughout the tour, guests will have ample opportunity for photos and short walks to commemorate these iconic landmarks. This experience has been thoughtfully designed to provide insightful, historical references encompassing London’s most important royal landmarks, as well as some quirkier, lesser-known aspects of the royal family’s history – all leading back to our three Kings in this special historic Coronation year.

Guests can also opt for additional experiences in their itinerary. One option is to start the day bright and early with a private pre-opening tour of Hampton Court Palace for a unique view of the not-so-typical royal palace and frequent honeymoon destination for Henry VIII before other visitors arrive for the day. Also, guests can tack on an afternoon at Kew Gardens, enjoying a private tour with a horticultural expert celebrating King Charles’s lifelong dedication to living harmoniously with nature. They can then head to the royal hidden gem of Kew Palace to discover the secrets of the former home of King George III and Queen Charlotte.

In addition to this experience with Beyond Curated, The Milestone Hotel & Residences has created special offers within the hotel, both for travellers visiting during the Coronation as well as those visiting at another time this year who are looking for the ultimate royal stay. Their first offer allows guests to “Sleep like a King (or Queen)” in one of The Milestone’s Signature designer suites, complete with a “Royal Breakfast” delivered to their room.

Or, guests can opt to make London their base with The Milestone’s private residences, ideal for longer stays to soak up the atmosphere and pageantry during the Coronation celebrations.

Guests visiting for a briefer period can overlook the Kensington Gardens and Palace while enjoying Royal Coronation Afternoon Tea in the Park Lounge. And for visitors seeking the ultimate British foodie experienceThe Milestone is offering a six-course tasting menu, served either in the intimate Chapel Room or Cheneston’s restaurant.
