This year, hotels are taking their trees up a notch with stunning designer collaborations with some of the biggest names in the business. Iconic brands and tastemakers such as Lela Rose, Lingua Franca, Louis Vuitton and more have joined forces with some of the most beautiful hotels to create stunning holiday displays that are sure to inspire you to book a trip or elevate your own tree. Read on to see some of the most dazzling trees of 2023 in some of our favorite destinations, from Charleston to Paris.

Claridge’s x Louis Vuitton

Louis Vuitton's legendary trunk is transformed for this festive, chic display at London's iconic Claridge's. Since 2009, the hotel has collaborated with iconic designers and fashion brands such as Karl Lagerfeld, Dolce and Gabbana and Dior, but this is the first time the tree has ever been designed by Louis Vuitton.

The hotel and the iconic French brand have a personal history together that's reflected in the holiday array. Louis Vuitton's first London store was right across the corner from Claridge's and the two storied brands were both founded in 1851. Vintage Claridge's travel stickers decorate the extra-large Malle Vestiare to evoke a sense of nostalgia and elegant style with this Art Deco-influenced creation.

The Dewberry Hotel x Schumacher

Ribbon is always right, and The Dewberry's collaboration with design house Schumacher does not disappoint. Covered in brilliant bows, this trio of fir trees pulls from the colors of the holiday season as well as the traditional fabrics and materials that Schumacher is known for.

45 Park Lane x Hormazd Narielwalla

When you get a close look at the main tree in London's 45 Park Lane, you might just see some of your favorite members of British pop culture royalty. Created by artist Hormazd Narielwalla, the festive ornaments are an exciting touch on an otherwise classic tree. They give it just the right punch for this cultural hub of a hotel.

Le Meurice x Baccarat

Le Meurice in Paris has been a favorite hotel of iconic artists like Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso, and we love this nostalgic tree covered in red and gold baubles. However, the real collaboration happens at the hotel's Bar 228, which has been transformed transformed into "Black Bar" with the help of Maison Baccarat. Black crystal details from the iconic brand—along with caviar and truffles—make this an elegant, unforgettable experience.

A well curated tree with a classic theme is always going to be a fan favorite, and the details of the ornaments this tree at The St. Regis Atlanta are absolutely breathtaking. The tree, done in collaboration with Over The Moon—a fashion, wedding and home e-commerce site—brings you into the world of the Nutcracker with painted ornaments done by artist Riley Sheehey.
