About this award 

A hugely prestigious award presented in recognition of a large hotel group that has a proven track record of striving to ensure the very best levels of service, food and accommodation across the range of properties. Attention to detail is imperative and a committed and structured approach to future development is essential.

Red Carnation Hotels

Red Carnation’s aim is to provide exceptional, memorable hospitality by meeting and exceeding guest expectations, thus creating hotels that guests, as well as employees, refer to as a "home away from home". This achievement is borne out by the regular awarding of AA Red Stars and Rosettes.

The group is predominantly London based, with six hotels in the capital. There are other UK properties in Dorset and on Guernsey. 100 Princess Street in Edinburgh has just opened its doors and there are two more hotels in County Mayo in Ireland.

Chief Executive Jonathan Raggett has overseen huge investment in both the properties and the team. Extensive training and development has created a focused and motivated team who provide consistent, warm hospitality.

Sustainability is also a passion, and the group has achieved much already, with more being done to become carbon neutral across the group.
