The Red Carnation Hotel Collection redefines pet-friendly hospitality. This family-run group of 4- and 5-star hotels centers its services on pets, offering thoughtful amenities and personalized care to ensure both animals and their owners enjoy a comfortable, luxurious stay.
Inspired by founder Beatrice Tollman’s lifelong love of dogs, the collection’s properties across London, Dorset, Guernsey, Geneva, Palm Beach, South Africa and Ireland provide a range of pet-focused comforts such as floor mats, plush bedding, and dedicated food and water bowls. Specially prepared menus and in-room items cater to pet needs, while pet concierges can recommend local groomers, veterinarians and nearby green spaces. Many hotels are conveniently located within easy walking distance of parks and beaches, making outings simple and enjoyable.
At The Milestone Hotel and 41, guests receive elevated pet services that include birthday celebrations with specialty cakes, custom-made beds and duvets, pet bathrobes and turn-down treats. These hotels focus on detail and personalization to make special occasions memorable for pets and owners alike.
Summer Lodge’s Pampered Pooch package at Summer Lodge features homemade biscuits, a selection from Lily’s Kitchen dog food menu, a dog wash station, comfy beds, food and water bowls, washable “woof” towels and curated lists of nearby parks, beaches and coastal walks. The hotel’s resident cat, Felix, often greets guests at reception and adds to the welcoming atmosphere.
Other properties in the collection also showcase beloved animal mascots. The Oyster Box is home to Skabenga the cat; Ashford Castle is known for its Irish wolfhounds Garvan and Cronin; and The Egerton House Hotel hosts the sociable Milly the Jack Russell. These mascots contribute to each hotel’s character and emphasize the collection’s genuine affection for pets.
The Red Carnation Hotel Collection’s pet-centric approach combines thoughtful amenities, attentive service and convenient locations to create an inviting experience for traveling pets and their owners. Whether offering specialty menus, grooming recommendations or celebratory treats, these hotels make pets feel truly welcome and well cared for during their stay.
