The holidays have arrived, and the world’s finest hotels are celebrating in grand style. This year’s collection of Christmas trees includes everything from couture creations in Dubai to avant-garde installations in Tokyo.
If you seek a dose of festive flair, look no further. Here are 15 stunning hotel Christmas trees that are making the 2025 season merry and bright.
The Boca Raton
The Boca Raton put up 100 trees — along with 10,000 lights, 7,000 ornaments and 500 feet of silver tinsel — throughout the property to kick off its 2026 centennial. The centerpiece is a soaring evergreen, strung with classic white lights and flanked by illuminated palms that add a Florida touch.
Mandarin Oriental Jumeira, Dubai
For the Five-Star hotel’s out-of-this-world tree, Maison Schiaparelli creative director Daniel Roseberry gleaned inspiration from Elsa Schiaparelli and her iconic Zodiac collection. In the center, a mechanical heart covered with 1,458 red Swarovski crystals beats at 60 pulses per minute, echoing a human rhythm. And 960 golden metal rods radiate from the heart, to dazzling effect.
Ritz Paris
The Five-Star hotel’s Christmas tree will make you feel warm and cuddly. Four hundred miniature pillbox-hatted groom bears (Ritz Paris’ mascot) adorn the 20-foot spectacle. The festive décor continues throughout the hotel with hundreds of teddy bears sprinkled about. A pop-up overlooking Place Vendôme features an 8-foot-tall teddy bear and treats like decadent hot chocolate and a chocolate-coated marshmallow bear.
Claridge’s, London
The Five-Star hotel styled its 16-foot tree with Burberry. Daniel Lee, the British fashion brand’s chief creative officer, added Burberry fabric bows (a Victorian symbol of unity), wild foliage and thistle (Scotland’s national flower), brass bells (inspired by the company’s logo), baubles from a British glassblower and a crown topper. Around the tree, oversized chess pieces stand on the black-and-white-checkered floor.
The West Hollywood EDITION
Instead of using baubles as branch decorations, multi-disciplinary artist Fai Khadra made them into a tree. The West Hollywood hotel’s whimsical Christmas tree consists of strategically placed, oversized vintage ornaments, each with a cap and hook. A crescent-shaped Santa face with a blue hat watches from the top.
The Tokyo EDITION, Ginza and The Tokyo EDITION, Toranomon
Local art director Yuni Yoshida collaborated with the design brand 130 One Thirty to create hotel-within-a-hotel-themed trees for these sister properties. Yoshida stacked miniature 3D-printed houses to form a tree, with subtle design variations unique to each hotel. The light spilling from the mini windows radiates warmth, as if someone is inside waiting up for you to come home.
A bonus: the trees are sustainable. Their materials (PETG, recycled PET and resin) contain about 20% pre-recycled components, while the remaining 80% will be recycled after dismantling.
Conrad Manila
The Forbes Travel Guide Recommended hotel installed a brilliant lobby display anchored by a luminous 16-foot crystal Christmas tree layered with frosted ornaments and accents. Filipino stylist Randy Lazaro played with light and textures to give the traditional tree a bright, joyful and elegant makeover.
Grand Velas Los Cabos
The outdoor tree at this Four-Star hotel is slightly taller than the surrounding palm trees, as if it wants to get a glimpse of the ocean just beyond. More than 2,000 sparkling silver spheres cover its surface. At night, the light of the moon bounces off them, giving the tree an ethereal glow.
The Goring, London
The boutique Five-Star hotel seals its tree with kisses from British fashion brand Lulu Guinness. Known for its lip-shaped clutch, Lulu Guinness weaves a thick scarlet ribbon through the branches and sprinkles the tree with large, playful red lips. Miniature London postboxes and telephone booths glow like winter lanterns around the bottom.
The Ned Doha
This stylish midcentury-modern hotel embraces a timeless holiday vibe. In its dramatic four-story atrium, the red-and-gold tree showcases thousands of lights, bespoke bells and ornaments, and rich textures. Extend the holiday fun at The Ned’s winter market with food stalls, creative workshops and pop-up boutiques.
Pan Pacific London
London’s tallest Christmas tree towers over the Five-Star hotel’s Bishopsgate Plaza. The 67-foot tree features more than 100,000 twinkling LED lights and nearly 430-foot-wide snowflakes. A single giant snowflake glows on top. Every hour, the tree comes to life with a light show and seasonal music. Adding to the larger-than-life scene, a 33-foot wreath hangs behind the wintry spectacle.
The Post Oak Hotel at Uptown Houston
The carol “12 Days of Christmas” is the theme of the Five-Star hotel’s holiday celebration, a cherished tradition among the community. The Post Oak fills its lobby with more than 70 glittering trees and spotlights a life-size illustration of the holiday song by local artist Jeff Szymanski.
Twin Farms, Barnard, Vermont
The Five-Star hotel takes a customized approach to holiday décor. Every room receives a tree that’s specially designed for its distinct aesthetic. For example, set above a stream and a beaver pond, Perch Cottage is a cozy fisherman’s hideaway. Its tree mirrors that with a palette of blues and a boonie hat hanging on top.
The Tokyo Station Hotel
For the 10th year, the Tokyo hotel created charity ornaments to support More Trees, a forest conservation organization. They feature the clematis flower, a motif in Tokyo Station’s dome and the first-floor main lobby. The “110” cutout commemorates the hotel’s 110th anniversary.
Also, don’t miss the paper replica of the red-brick hotel nearby on the fireplace mantel.
One&Only Aesthesis, Glifada, Greece
Over in the Athenian Riviera, One&Only Aesthesis infuses its tree with Greek coastal elegance, decorating it in warm colors and golden stars. For more holiday spirit, visit the Christmas Market fronting Aesthesis Beach, where lit-up wooden chalets feature pieces from Greek designers and seasonal treats like roasted chestnuts and mulled wine.
