The Milestone Hotel (part of Red
Carnation) was named the UK’s best
hotel. The Milestone has also been
named the number four hotel in
Europe and fifteenth in the world.
Across all the award categories, it was
again a great year for Red Carnation,
with 11 of its properties recognised
in the rankings. Of Red Carnation’s
London properties, the five-star Hotel
41 was named 13th best small hotel in
the UK. The five star Egerton hotel in
Knightsbridge was listed fourth best
small hotel in the UK, and 11th in Europe.
The four star Chesterfield in Mayfair was
named 21st best hotel in the UK and the
four star Montague in Bloomsbury 23rd.
Red Carnation properties outside the
UK also did well: Ashford Castle was
named ninth best hotel in Ireland. Hotel
d’Angleterre in Geneva was listed third
best hotel in Switzerland and 21st in
Europe, and the Oyster Box in Durban and
the Twelve Apostles in Cape Town were
seventh and 10th best hotels in South
Africa.
“Everyone at The Milestone and at Red
Carnation Hotels is immensely proud”
commented Jonathan Raggett,
MD of Red Carnation Hotels.
“TripAdvisor is doubtless a key driver of
business for us. Travellers want to know
what to expect from their hotel stay before
they commit, with honest reviews from
other consumers being a clear influencer in
purchasing decisions.
“Above all, we attribute our considerable
guest loyalty and our continued success on
TripAdvisor to our personalised approach
to guest service. Our philosophy is ’no
request too large, no detail too small’ which
guarantees an individual approach for each
and every person that stays with us.”
