Games Set and Match to The Milestone in the Masters Tennis

    LONDON, ENGLAND, July 26, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With its season-ending status on the ATP Champions Tour, The Masters Tennis is one of the most prestigious tennis tournaments on British soil. It's a firm favourite with fans because it gives them a rare opportunity to see their heroes, including Pete Sampras, Pat Cash and John MacEnroe, compete in the awe-inspiring and iconic venue of the Royal Albert Hall. Confirmed players for the 2009 tournament include Pat Rafter, who will be making his debut at the event, plus Goran Ivanisevic and Stefan Edberg.

The tournament attracts tennis enthusiasts from around the world, many of whom insist on staying at the celebrated Milestone Hotel. Only a few minutes' easy walk from the Royal Albert Hall, it's highly ranked, not just for convenience, but also for the elegance of the accommodation and the unrivalled quality of the personal service. Late last year the readers of Conde Nast Traveler named The Milestone Best Hotel in the British Isles in the magazine's 21st Annual Readers' Choice Awards - so the staff knows a thing or two about winning themselves.

Like true champions, however, they are not resting on their laurels. For this year's Masters Tournament, taking place between the 1st and 6th December, they're offering a special package that includes one night's accommodation for two people in a beautifully appointed bedroom, full English Breakfast and two tickets to either the afternoon or evening sessions of The Master's Tennis Tournament. Guests also enjoy a smashing choice of Champagne Afternoon Tea or a three-course set lunch or dinner for two in Cheneston's Restaurant.
The qualification criteria for this event ensure a competitive and high quality Singles field, while you can expect to see all your favourites playing in the Doubles tournament including Iranian genius Mansour Bahrami. Combine it with a stay at The Milestone and you're guaranteed an experience you'll treasure for many years to come.

Situated in the heart of Kensington overlooking Kensington Palace and Gardens, the quiet and understated elegance of The Milestone is celebrated for its style, comfort, and exalted levels of personal service. This 5-star hotel in London offers 57 individually designed rooms and suites and 6 luxury apartments, all lavishly decorated with the finest fabrics and furnishings. The hotel building is a showpiece of the Victorian era, having been restored to its former architectural splendour. The Milestone is part of Red Carnation - a luxury collection of family run hotels, and a member of The Leading Small Hotels of the World.
