Our heart and soul

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.
