The Most Stunning Floral Hotels Around the World

If you adore flowers while traveling, you don't need to step outside to experience nature's beauty. Simply book a stay at one of these hotels, from Mumbai to Manhattan to Monaco, and enjoy some of the world's most lavish floral arrangements all year long.

These 11 destinations will amaze you with their floral displays during your stay:

1. Four Seasons Hotel George V, Paris

Jeff Leatham is to floral designs what Simon Doonan is to window displays. The celebrity florist has been the creative force behind the Four Seasons Paris for 16 years, working with a lavish budget to craft stunning floral masterpieces.

While leading the hotel's extravagant floral displays, Leatham also counts A-list clients, from the Kardashians to Oprah Winfrey, among his clientele.

Despite his busy schedule, fortunate guests can enjoy a complimentary two-hour workshop with Leatham, known as The Jeff Leatham Experience, where they create their own signature bouquet. (Non-hotel guests can join for 200 euros.)

In an exciting development, Leatham is now dividing his time between the Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills, where he'll design California-inspired arrangements. He also runs his own shop at the LA location. However, his Parisian connection remains strong, as he'll still visit the George V five days each month to continue dazzling guests with his floral artistry.

2. The Kitano Hotel, New York

As a Japanese-owned establishment, it’s no surprise that The Kitano has its own ikebana expert to manage its floral displays. Ikebana, the traditional Japanese art of flower arranging, focuses on simplicity and balance.

Noritaka Noda, a skilled ikebana designer who trained in both Japan and the United States, has been crafting exquisite arrangements for the hotel weekly since 2014.

If you’re lucky enough to visit in March, you might catch his annual ikebana exhibition, which featured 23 stunning arrangements last year, including cherry blossoms. While the hotel doesn’t offer ikebana classes, you can still arrange a private lesson with Noda, who also teaches at the Ikenobo Ikebana Society.

3. The Pulitzer, Amsterdam

When you think of the Netherlands, tulips are sure to be among the first things that come to mind.

While you can find this iconic flower in many Dutch hotels during spring, The Pulitzer’s grand inner courtyard garden boasts 2,000 vibrant tulips, designed by the same landscape architect behind the famous Rijksmuseum.

The hotel’s florist, Season Flowers, also fills the interior with stunning tulip arrangements that perfectly complement the decor. Don’t worry if you miss peak tulip season – the displays change weekly to feature seasonal blooms. Plus, the hotel’s lobby flower shop lets you bring the floral beauty to your room.

4. Bellagio, Las Vegas

Las Vegas is known for its boldness, and the Bellagio is no different. The hotel features the vast 14,000-square-foot Conservatory & Botanical Gardens, which are transformed with each changing season.

Expect impressive rotating displays no matter when you visit. Past themes have included everything from Japanese spring to Chinese New Year, underwater worlds, seasonal celebrations, and more. And because this is Las Vegas, the floral wonderland is open to the public 24/7, free of charge.

5. Claridge’s, London

Renowned London florist McQueens, known for its prestigious clientele ranging from Harrods to Moët & Chandon, has been designing stunning floral displays at Claridge’s since 2011. Weekly, they create show-stopping centerpieces that have become a social media sensation.

(Pro tip: If you're keen to see the latest designs, the floral team revamps the displays every Friday morning while the city sleeps.)

The arrangements are always impressive, but they truly shine during special events and holidays. For example, in May, their designs will align with the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. And, with Wimbledon around the corner, who knows how many of their floral creations will feature tennis-themed touches?

You’ll even find a McQueens shop within the hotel, so you can take a piece of the floral magic home with you. Alternatively, enroll in a one-day master class at McQueens’ flower school to master the art of floral design.

6. The Taj Mahal Palace, Mumbai

While it shares its name with the famous mausoleum in Agra, The Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai is a luxurious five-star hotel that’s just as stunning. The hotel boasts an in-house floral team that designs new arrangements every week, while the lobby flowers are sourced from an external florist.

Beyond the lobby, keep an eye out for stunning floral arrangements throughout the hotel, from the dining areas to the guest rooms.

If you're marking a special event, you might discover a romantic heart-shaped floral arrangement with rose petals scattered across your room. The flowers, a mix of local and international varieties, are refreshed with the seasons and celebrate India’s vibrant festivals. Additionally, guests at the spa are greeted with beautiful flower leis.

(Pro tip: If you see floral umbrellas at the entrance, you're in VIP territory.)

7. The Dolder Grand, Zurich

At the Dolder Grand in Zurich, no detail is left to chance. This opulent hotel, also renowned for its priceless art collection, takes it a step further by offering a dedicated floral room and an in-house team of floral experts.

The hotel’s florists work tirelessly across the property, refreshing 20 different locations every morning. Their meticulous tasks include customizing room floral displays to complement the decor and ensuring that public spaces feature perfectly matched flowers.

While the lobby’s floral displays are always impressive, the highlight of the year is the creation of an enormous Easter egg standing at eight feet tall. Weighing 3,000 pounds, this masterpiece requires 12,000 carnations and 24 hours to create, fulfilling childhood dreams in a floral form.

8. Gaylord Opryland Resort, Nashville

Gaylord Opryland Resort in Nashville, Tennessee, is a standout destination, featuring nine acres dedicated to indoor botanical gardens. These lush spaces are maintained by a team of 20 full-time horticulturists and house over 50,000 tropical plants, including palm trees, banana trees, and native Southern plants like gardenias, along with a majestic 40-foot magnolia tree.

Thanks to a climate-controlled environment and an efficient air exchange system, many of the plants bloom throughout the year. Make sure to set aside time to explore the resort’s three distinct garden areas.

The Garden Conservatory, the oldest of the three, opened in 1984 and is home to 10,000 tropical plants. The Cascades Atrium features the most flowering plants, complemented by a stunning waterfall. Meanwhile, the Delta Atrium has a more subtropical vibe and showcases native Southern species. For a unique experience, take a boat ride down the quarter-mile-long river for a partial view of the Delta Atrium.

For the best botanical views throughout your stay, be sure to reserve a garden atrium room and enjoy the greenery at every turn.

9. Hotel Metropole, Monte Carlo

Many luxury hotels invest in floral displays, particularly in the lobby, but Hotel Metropole takes it a step further, making flowers a central theme in the hotel’s décor. For over ten years, the property has been transformed regularly to reflect the Metropole Moods concept, offering imaginative floral installations throughout the year.

Rather than relying on traditional flower arrangements, the hotel’s artistic director, Perrine Guyonnet (known as Miss Rose), combines unique elements like flower-filled birdcages hanging from the ceiling and even a towering faux wedding cake adorned with layers of blooms to create her captivating visions.

For instance, the current theme is spring, symbolized by a stunning full-size cherry blossom tree in the lobby. Previous themes have included Grace Kelly, Exotic Chic, and Over the Rainbow.

10. Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko Olina, Kapolei, Hawaii

Florist Fong Tagawa of Floral Inspirations, with her background in fine arts and music, brings a unique artistic touch to the floral designs at Four Seasons Resort Oahu, perfectly capturing different emotions through her work.

She and her team often focus on seasonal flowers, with a special emphasis on local blooms. For example, their whimsical peacock design incorporated seasonal Dendrobium orchids, taking advantage of Hawaii’s calm winds.

(Unlike your average hotel, the open-air lobby at the resort requires consideration of wind and weather conditions when designing the floral arrangements.)

In addition to crafting stunning floral displays, Tagawa and her team design installations for special events and holidays, such as a giant rooster for the Year of the Rooster. If you're planning a wedding at the resort and want to get creative with your flowers, you're in for a treat. For one couple, Tagawa arranged thousands of loose orchid heads on the grass to recreate a traditional Hawaiian quilt pattern.

11. Nanjing Green Towers, Nanjing, China

At Nanjing Green Towers, set to open in 2018 in the Pukou District, you won't just see floral arrangements in a hotel lobby. These two entire buildings will be a spectacle of greenery and flowers, providing an urban oasis on a grand scale.

Designed by Stefano Boeri Architects, the facades of these towers will be covered with approximately 1,100 trees and 2,500 plants and shrubs, creating a living, breathing structure.

However, this impressive project isn't just for aesthetic purposes.

As Asia’s first vertical forest (following the Italian firm's similar project in Milan), the greenery will play a key role in reducing air pollution, absorbing an estimated 25 tons of carbon dioxide annually.

The larger tower will primarily be dedicated to office spaces, while also housing a museum and a school focused on green architecture.

The smaller tower will feature a 247-room Hyatt hotel with a rooftop pool, offering you the chance to experience one of the world’s few vertical forests up close.
