20:23 21 November, 2025In December, even the flashiest, most extravagant, or “kitsch” Christmas trees take on a new magic — the festive spirit and childhood wonder always win. Luxury hotels and designers turn their lobbies into true art spaces, creating trees that outshine ordinary home decorations, reports Hypebae.

This year, London’s Dishoom restaurant partnered with Diet Paratha to celebrate Christmas through the lens of South Asian culture. Three artists created unique tree installations, featuring luxury brand Kartik Research, designer Dhruv Bandil, and stylist Nisha Tulsi Champeria.

The hotel unveiled the “Crystal Dream Christmas Tree” in collaboration with designer Susan Fang. The white tree, adorned with transparent baubles and 3D flowers — Fang’s signature detail — transformed the lobby into a winter wonderland.

Every year, Claridge’s hotel invites a new designer to create its Christmas tree. For 2025, Daniel Lee, Burberry’s creative director, takes the reins. The tree will be covered in bows and presented to the public on November 25.

Back in 2017, Lagerfeld turned the concept of a Christmas tree upside down — literally. Trees were suspended from the ceiling, creating the effect of an inverted winter forest, complete with frosted decorations.

In 2024, the Connaught Hotel featured a 30-foot Norwegian spruce decorated by British artist Tracey Emin. Her poetry was displayed in neon lights — Emin’s signature technique — creating a beautiful and poignant festive art installation.
