No request is too large,
no detail too small
A vision for service excellence.
A passion for generous hospitality.
Our heart and soul
Red Carnation Hotels is lovingly named after the signature flower worn by Stanley, the husband of our President and Founder, Beatrice Tollman. It is proudly worn by each and every member of our team as a symbol of our passion, commitment and care.
The art of hospitality
Today the collection proudly stands at 20 exceptional properties around the world, each unique and special, whilst sharing the founding values that define the family-owned and run business. From The Milestone Hotel & Residences, a beautiful historic mansion hotel in the heart of London, to the truly iconic Oyster Box in South Africa and the magnificent Ashford Castle in Ireland, each Red Carnation Hotel is unique and characterful, with a legacy that we are honoured to continue across our exceptional collection.
Our call from the wild
We are so proud to be the new custodians of Xigera, at the very heart of the Okavango Delta in Botswana. This is the pioneering story of an ancient place; of rebirth, of family legacy, opening in December 2020...

Extraordinary experiences
We believe in creating thoughtful ‘tiny noticeable touches’ and memorable moments for our guests, from unique experiences that offer an opportunity to connect with local communities and treasured cultural partners in a meaningful way, to candlelit dinners or personalised gifts that set the scene for beautiful celebrations.

As we continue to face the global challenge of responding to COVID-19, we remain focused on caring for the health, security and wellbeing of our guests and employees, and continue to operate our hotels with both our head and our heart during these difficult times.
Sustainability
We genuinely care about our people and our local communities. We work hard to protect the wildlife and environments within which we operate, and are passionate about sustainability. Together with The TreadRight Foundation, we strive to #MakeTravelMatter for people, wildlife and the planet.
