We are proud to share that Red Carnation Hotels has won a number of Travel + Leisure awards in 2024.
The Red Carnation story began in 1952, when a beautiful young woman called Bea caught the eye of a distinguished young hotelier named Stanley, who was known for wearing a red carnation in his lapel.
We believe in creating memorable moments for our guests, from unique experiences that offer an opportunity to connect with local communities in a meaningful way, to candlelit dinners or personalised gifts that set the scene for beautiful celebrations.
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. We strive to make your stay matter for people, wildlife and the planet.
