DELRAY BEACH, Fla.– The annual TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards have been announced, and The Red Carnation Hotel Collection was honored with 32 awards in 2018, including top honors for four properties in the United Kingdom and South Africa.
London sister properties Hotel 41 and The Milestone Hotel and Residences were ranked No. 1 and No. 2 consecutively in the ‘Top 25 Hotels – United Kingdom’ category, and The Oyster Box in Durban was named No. 1 in the ‘Top 25 Hotels – South Africa’ category. The Egerton House Hotel in Knightsbridge was also ranked No. 1 in both the Europe and UK ‘Top 25 Luxury Hotels’ categories.
TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice award winners are based on the millions of reviews and opinions collected in a single year from TripAdvisor travelers worldwide. This year, the awards celebrate hotel winners across 10 categories including: Top Hotels Overall, Luxury, Bargain, Small, Best Service, B&Bs and Inns, Romance, Family, All-Inclusive and Value for Money. The hallmarks of Travelers’ Choice hotel winners are remarkable service, value and quality.
The Red Carnation Hotel Collection continues to perform strongly in the TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards with top recognition year after year. This is the third year in a row The Oyster Box has been honored as the No. 1 Hotel in South Africa, and the second consecutive year Hotel 41 has ranked No. 1 in the UK.
Situated in the heart of central London overlooking the Royal Mews, Hotel 41’s five-star credentials make it a fantastic choice for tourists looking to be swept up in London’s royal heritage. The intimate hideaway in the heart of London comprises just 30 luxurious rooms, all of which are complemented by a personal butler and room service available 24 hours a day. The second consecutive win for the hotel further solidifies London as a tourist hotspot and must-visit location in the UK for the upcoming year.
Standing majestically on Umhlanga’s beachfront overlooking the Indian Ocean and the iconic lighthouse, The Oyster Box Hotel in Durban is considered a national treasure in South Africa. The hotel’s 86 luxurious rooms and suites are designed with timeless elegance, and the hotel’s numerous dining venues are an extraordinary experience in themselves. Guests can spend their days relaxing by the pristine pools or indulging at the award-winning spa.
“We are enormously proud to see so many of our hotels recognized in the 2018 TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice Awards,” said Jonathan Raggett, managing director of The Red Carnation Hotel Collection. “Year after year, Red Carnation Hotels continue to rank highly in the review driven accolades, and what an honor to see Hotel 41 and The Oyster Box recognized once again this year with No. 1 rankings.”
