The Red Carnation Hotel Collection has debuted its newest gem with the high-anticipated launch of 100 Princes Street in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Stay in the world’s oldest hotel – but feel part of tomorrow. Red Carnation’s Ashford Castle Hotel & Country Estate, outside Cong, in Ireland’s inland Co Mayo, has a history dating back to 1228, when the de Burgo family built their little home. Think today and on, and this magnificent pile offers the personal space and wellness that are now.

The Travel Corporation’s luxury hotel collection, Red Carnation Hotels, has launched its own dedicated chain code in the GDS, in the process concluding a longstanding affiliation with the Leading Hotels of the World.

Summer Lodge Country House Hotel, Restaurant and Spa in the quintessentially-English county of Dorset, is a textbook example of how even a possibly-dowdy luxury hotel can be brought to 2021-style WOW. After a decade away, I do admit I was amazed. Jack Mackenzie, the South African who runs the 25-room property with his wife Alex, a History of Art graduate and local fashionista sporting green shoes, today, came bounding over perfectly manicured lawns in greeting.

Red Carnation Hotel Collection has confirmed plans to open a hotel in Scotland for the first time. The luxury hotel collection said it will “respectfully renovate” 100 Princes Street, transforming the current building into a “highly exclusive retreat on Edinburgh’s most famous street”.
