This year, hotels across The Red Carnation Hotel Collection have once again been recognised with the Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Award 2026. To see so many of our properties honoured in a single year is a remarkable achievement and a testament to the exceptional service, genuine care and warm hospitality our teams deliver to guests every day.

Among this year's recipients of the Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice Award 2026 are:

  • The Montague on the Gardens

  • The Chesterfield Mayfair

  • The Egerton House Hotel

  • Summer Lodge Country House Hotel

  • Hotel d'Angleterre

  • The Rubens at the Palace

  • The Old Government House Hotel & Spa

  • The Lodge at Ashford Castle

  • The Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa

  • The Oyster Box

The celebrations do not end there. Four Red Carnation properties have also been awarded Tripadvisor's highest accolade, the Travellers' Choice Best of the Best Award 2026. Hotel 41, The Milestone Hotel & Residences, 100 Princes Street and Ashford Castle have each earned this prestigious distinction, placing them among the top one percent of hotels worldwide based on the reviews and experiences shared by travellers.

Unlike many industry awards, Tripadvisor's Travellers' Choice Awards are determined entirely by genuine guest feedback, making this recognition particularly meaningful. The awards celebrate properties that consistently deliver exceptional experiences and rank among the top-rated hotels globally.

For Red Carnation Hotels, these accolades reflect far more than exceptional accommodation. They are a testament to the people who bring each hotel to life every day and to the values that have guided the collection since its founding.

Across every destination, from the heart of London and Edinburgh to the coastlines of South Africa and the countryside of Ireland, teams are united by Red Carnation's four pillars: Family Story, Curated Discoveries, Characterful Stays and Generosity of Spirit. Inspired by the vision of founders Stanley and Beatrice Tollman, these principles continue to shape every guest experience, creating meaningful moments that stay with guests long after they return home.

Receiving recognition across the entire collection is a proud milestone, but it is also an opportunity to reflect on what matters most: the trust guests place in Red Carnation Hotels. Every review shared, recommendation made and return visit booked contributes to these achievements.

As the collection celebrates this global recognition, Red Carnation Hotels extends its heartfelt thanks to its guests for their loyalty and support, and to its teams whose commitment, warmth and dedication make these awards possible.

Together, they continue to set the standard for hospitality rooted in genuine care, personal connection and unforgettable experiences.

We invite you to discover what makes each Red Carnation Hotel so special. From thoughtfully curated experiences and distinctive destinations to the genuine care of our teams, every stay is designed to create memories that last long after you return home.
