We love the fact that some hotels invite friends and\/or designers to decorate their Christmas tree. We\u2019re always looking forward to the arty Christmas tree of the Claridge\u2019s hotel in Mayfair, this year decorated by designer Sir Paul Smith. The arty Christmas tree just outside the Connaught hotel has been decorated by influential British artist Conrad Shawcross RA. But we also always love the decorations at the Plaza hotel in New York, the B\u00fbches de No\u00ebl in France and more. A list of luxury and fancy Christmas trees, decorations and traditional delicacies by luxury hotels. Who knows some of it might inspire you!<\/p>\n

Claridge\u2019s,<\/a> London\u2019s legendary Mayfair hotel, has unveiled the annual Claridge\u2019s Christmas Tree 2024, this year created by long-time friend of the hotel, Sir Paul Smith. The arty Christmas tree by Sir Paul Smith brings together two illustrious British names to reveal a traditional 20ft arty Christmas tree sitting in a Signature Striped barrel and decorated with Paul Smith colourful baubles, ribbon and over 100 bespoke birdhouses.<\/p>\n Sir Paul Smith<\/a> has collaborated with two friends of the house on the decorations, British artist Nik Ramage<\/a>, who has made a series of mechanical birdhouses, all with a playful Paul Smith twist, with roofs decorated in playing cards, postage stamps and dice. In Paul\u2019s office, a miniature cable cart hovers overhead and Ramage took inspiration from this and engineered a flying bird to frame Claridge\u2019s reception. Design studio Studiomama<\/a>, created a series of their whimsical \u2018Off Cut Creatures\u2019 to sit around the base of the tree.<\/p>\n Adding to the festive design, Paul Smith\u2019s holiday Merrymaker fragrance will be the scent of the lobby, and a chorus of birdsong is played from the tree throughout the day to welcome guests into the lobby of the hotel. And Sir Paul has revealed \u2018Paul\u2019s Pick n Mix\u2019 trolley, which will be available for guests to enjoy. With a selection of Sir Paul\u2019s confectionary favourites, the trolley will be wheeled into the lobby daily to surprise and delight hotel visitors.<\/p>\n They even created a party<\/a> for the lighting of the tree, with delicious canap\u00e9s from Claridge\u2019s kitchens, Sir Paul\u2019s \u2018Festive Negroni\u2019 cocktail, Laurent Perrier Champagne and live music from The London Oratory Schola Cantorum choir for an annual festive celebration like no other in the hotel\u2019s Art Deco lobby. More details about the Claridge\u2019s Christmas tree 2024 in the link in the title.<\/p>\n Why don\u2019t you put a trolley of Christmassy delicacies in the lobby? Or as we point out almost every year, have a local designer or celebrity decorate your Christmas tree?<\/em><\/p>\n Upon arrival in the Hotel\u2019s majestic lobby, guests will be mesmerized by the breathtaking Christmas decorations specially created for this festive season by the Hotel\u2019s renowned artistic director, Jeff Leatham<\/a>. Special attention goes to their \u2018B\u00fbche de No\u00ebl\u2019. To celebrate the festive season, Pastry Chef Micha\u00ebl Bartocetti <\/a>of the Four Seasons Hotel George V <\/a>in Paris has unveiled a sophisticated and indulgent \u2018B\u00fbche de No\u00ebl\u2019 or Yule Log that is a veritable masterpiece of confectionary art. Celebrating flavour and creativity, this breathtaking holiday centrepiece echoes the shape of a holly leaf, an iconic symbol of the festive season. Infused with delicate pear and chocolate notes, the Yule Log delivers a beautifully balanced flavour profile. At its heart is a velvety chocolate mousse, offering a rich, caramelised finish that envelops every layer in indulgence. Milk and dark chocolate combined to create a beautifully balanced yet complex flavour experience, elevated by a delicate infusion of bergamot that introduces a subtle hint of citrus.<\/p>\n The Yule Log by Michael Bartocetti at Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris is available to pre-order and pick up at the Hotel starting December 19, 2024.
