This year Claridge’s have taken their Christmas decorations to a whole new level, seriously raising the style bar through their reinvention of the traditional Christmas tree. For the first time in the Mayfair hotel’s 112 year history, a major fashion designer has been recruited to create an unusual masterpiece. At the beginning of December, John Galliano, the Creative Director of Dior, unveiled the tree which was inspired by festive snow scenes, but has been given a tropical twist.
Claridge’s traditionally becomes a social hotspot in the capital during December, and the tree is always a notable feature of the establishment. This year is certainly no exception, the white and frosty blue coloured tree, which dominates the Art Deco entrance hall, has been decorated with a hand crafted leopard, dragon flies and parrots. The tree will be up until 6th January and is well worth checking out if you’re looking for some slightly quirky Christmas cheer.
