Bea and Stanley Tollman
This year we celebrate 100 years of hospitality, as one of the 42 family-owned and run TTC travel brands. The Red Carnation Hotels’ story is a love story which started over sixty years ago.
Red Carnation Hotels’ story began on the 5th July 1952 when Stanley Tollman invited Founder & President Beatrice to join him for dinner in the most talked about hotel in Durban, The Oyster Box.
Located on the Umhlanga Rocks and originally opened as a cottage called the Oyster Lodge in 1863, The Oyster Box first opened as a hotel in 1952 and Stanley organized for the best table in the restaurant – number 5, which is still there to this day.
Today, Red Carnation Hotels proudly stands at 20 exceptional properties around the world, each unique and special. The Oyster Box remains at the heart of this love story and we are so proud that it is part of the hotel collection today and is recognized as the number one and most loved and cherished hotel in South Africa.
The Red Carnation Hotel Collection is lovingly named after the signature flower Mrs. Tollman’s husband always wears, and this symbol of hospitality is also worn by every member of the team and represents the passion and care that each and every member of the team has for their guests.
