Besides it’s central location and renowned high tea, The Claridges Hotel in Mayfair, London is known for it’s annual Christmas tree- a tradition nearing 10 years.

While the previous years have seen renowned designers such as Karl Lagerfeld and John Galliano create the hotel’s Christmas tree, this year it is Diane Von Furstenberg who has created an enthralling vision celebrating love and light.

Designed by the talented fashion designer, the Tree of Love invokes the power of love in a heavenly theme which has been embodied by the dangling silver leaves and glass hearts.The base of the tree has been given a provincial theme with an owl, deer and peacock installation; each animal representing it’s own attributes and strengths.

Guests are greeted with a shimmering vision of metallic silver and blue colours that illuminate the tree creating an optimistic and utterly positive start to the new year.
