An exquisite gem hidden in the heart of London, we are proud to be honoured as one of the World's Most Luxurious Hotels.

Our Founder & President

Our teams are led by Beatrice Tollman, our Founder and President, who is one of the most widely respected women in the hotel industry. Beatrice is renowned for her hands-on approach to service and hospitality and today, 65 years after opening her first hotel, is still intrinsically involved in every aspect of our collection.

From our family to yours

Beatrice, affectionately known as Mrs T, now leads our incredible teams alongside her daughters, Victoria (Director of Red Carnation Hotels) and Toni (Director of Design and Projects), to continue to warmly welcome guests, from our generations to yours - and in particular, oversees the delicious cuisine and beautiful design of each of our hotels.

Our wonderful teams

We are proud to have so many long-standing team members, some who have been part of the Red Carnation family for more than 60 years - a true indication of their passion. Our guests enjoy being warmly welcomed back to our hotels by familiar faces, who are all empowered to make a difference.

Our Executive Team

From Victoria and Toni Tollman, who are following in their mother's footsteps with her passion for the hotel business, their guests and their wonderful teams, to our Managing Director Jonathan Raggett and Brett Tollman, CEO of The Travel Corporation, we are fortunate to be led by an inspirational Executive Team.
