We're raising a glass to a truly special achievement.

Congratulations to #AshfordCastle, on being named the World's Most Beautiful Hotel by @timeouttravel.

Standing proudly on the shores of Lough Corrib since 1228, Ashford Castle is a place where history, heritage and exceptional hospitality come together in the most remarkable way. From its storied past and magnificent interiors to its woodland setting, timeless elegance and warm Irish welcome, it has been capturing imaginations for centuries.

Whether arriving through its grand gates, wandering its historic corridors beneath sparkling crystal chandeliers, or waking to misty views across the lake, every stay feels like stepping into a fairytale. As autumn colours transform the estate and the morning mist rises over the water, it's easy to see why this extraordinary castle continues to enchant guests from around the world.

This recognition is a testament to the passion, dedication and care of the entire Ashford Castle team, who create unforgettable experiences day after day while preserving one of Ireland's most iconic destinations.

A very proud moment for the whole Red Carnation family. Congratulations, Ashford Castle.

Today, on #InternationalDayofCharity, we're celebrating the incredible impact our teams make beyond the walls of our hotels ❤️

Through our volunteering programme, Red Carnation team members dedicate their time to causes close to their hearts, helping to protect the environment, support local communities, and raise vital funds for important charities.

From caring for the beautiful Lavender Pond Nature Reserve, taking part in beach clean-ups for World Ocean Day, and removing invasive plant species along the shores of Lake Geneva, to walking in support of Hospitality Action, cheering on runners at the London Marathon for Starlight, and supporting the Ikhaya Le Themba soup kitchen, every effort reflects the kindness, compassion and teamwork that define Red Carnation Hotels.

We're incredibly proud of our people and the difference they make, one volunteer day at a time.

Behind every award is a story.

Earlier this week, we had the privilege of collecting the award for our recent @travelandleisure World’s Best achievements - a moment of celebration that gave us the opportunity to reflect on what these accolades truly represent.

These awards are a celebration of the passion, generosity of spirit and heartfelt hospitality that our teams bring to every guest, every single day. It’s their unwavering dedication to creating unforgettable experiences that has once again seen Red Carnation Hotels recognised among the world’s leading luxury hotel brands.

To every member of our #RedCarnationHotels family, thank you for bringing our values to life with such care and commitment. And to our loyal guests, thank you for your trust, your continued support, and for allowing us to be part of your journeys. These awards are as much yours as they are ours. taken in New York by @redcarnationhotels
