  • Andrew Pike

    General Manager Andrew Pike

    With over twenty years experience in the hospitality industry, the last five of which with Red Carnation Hotels, I joined The Milestone in October 2005. My role at The Milestone is to lead our team of over 90 employees to ensure that the service and product we provide our valued guests is second to none and that having once experienced The Milestone, our guests will not want to stay anywhere else. If you have not stayed with us before, it would be my pleasure to welcome you to our fine hotel. A few members of my team below would like to introduce themselves.

  • Head Barman Daniel Crebesse

    Having worked in several fine hotels in London for many years, I am really excited to have joined this fantastic property. Cocktail bartending is a great profession where you get to share some fantastic experiences with guests and I actually enjoy it so much that I am also national Vice President for the UK Bartenders Guild.

    I have developed quite a few signature cocktails over the years and amongst my favourites is my award-winning ‘Blushing Response’, a concoction of Bombay gin, peach snappes and cranberry juice served with a rose petal.  I greatly look forward to making your acquaintance.
