Our hotels

Our hotels are located in exceptional places that personally inspired our founders and continue to reflect the Red Carnation philosophy: chosen because they are places we genuinely love, feel connected to, and can bring to life through exceptional hospitality. The Chesterfield Mayfair, opened in London in 1984, was the very first Red Carnation hotel. The Oyster Box in South Africa is another special place, where our founders Beatrice and Stanley Tollman shared their first meal in 1952. Ashford Castle is where the family spent their holidays when their children were small, generously restored to its former glory and re-opened as a Red Carnation hotel in 2015.
