Hotel Greenery
We transform hotel interiors into spaces guests love returning to. From indoor plant walls to standout feature planting, we shape environments that feel welcoming and memorable.
Bringing nature in
Greenery designed for every hotel experience
From the moment guests step inside, greenery influences how they perceive your hotel — their sense of comfort, calm and delight. Across lobbies, restaurants and guest rooms, we design and maintain planting that enhances the atmosphere and deepens the guest experience.
Arrival spaces that welcome you in
A guest’s perception forms within moments of entering your hotel. Greenery softens arrival spaces, creating calm, signalling quality and turning a hotel from functional to considered.
Those first impressions matter. Guests associate the space with comfort and quality, building emotional connections that influence satisfaction, reviews and repeat visits. In a competitive market, that initial moment becomes a powerful differentiator.
Social spaces shaped by atmosphere
In restaurants, bars, and shared spaces, atmosphere directly influences how long guests stay and how they engage with the space. Introducing hotel plants adds warmth and softness, helping environments feel more relaxed, social, and inviting.
Studies show guests spend up to 36% more time in hotel lobbies with biophilic design, increasing opportunities for connection, dwell time, and on-site spend. Spaces become destinations in their own right, somewhere guests choose to return to, not just pass through.
Calm, considered spaces throughout the hotel
In hotel environments, the smallest details shape how a space feels. Across lift lobbies, atriums and connecting spaces, carefully considered hotel indoor plants introduce a sense of life and softness, creating moments that feel more welcoming and less purely functional.
This connection to nature has been shown to reduce stress and improve overall wellbeing, helping guests feel more relaxed and at ease as they move through the hotel. These subtle, restorative moments contribute to a more cohesive experience and leave a lasting impression.
Spaces designed for relaxation and wellbeing
Wellness spaces are where biophilic design has the greatest impact. Greenery helps create immersive environments that feel calm, restorative, and removed from the pace of everyday life, supporting both physical and mental wellbeing.
Exposure to nature-inspired environments is proven to reduce stress and improve cognitive function, enhancing how guests feel within the space. These environments help shape the hotel’s identity and become places guests actively seek out and return to time and again.
In-between spaces that elevate the journey
Corridors and transitional areas form a significant part of the guest journey, yet are often overlooked. When these spaces feel considered, the entire experience becomes more cohesive and refined.
The right greenery adds moments of interest and continuity, keeping guests engaged as they move through the hotel. Instead of being overlooked, these spaces support a seamless, memorable experience and reinforce a consistent sense of quality from one area to the next.

Why hotel planting enhances the guest experience
Greenery plays a central role in shaping how guests experience a hotel. It influences first impressions, how spaces are used, and how a stay is remembered. More than decoration, thoughtful planting creates environments that feel calm, considered and genuinely welcoming. Adding hotel greenery:
- Creates a strong, inviting arrival that sets the tone for the stay
- Encourages longer dwell time in shared spaces and more engaging guest experiences
- Supports wellbeing by reducing stress and improving comfort
- Enhances perceived quality, helping spaces feel more premium and thoughtfully designed
When integrated well, planting helps create spaces guests connect with, shaping memorable experiences that influence satisfaction, reviews and the choice to return.

A living wall is a vertical installation of plants designed to bring greenery into interior spaces. In hotels, living walls are often used in lobbies, reception areas, and shared spaces to create a strong visual feature and enhance the overall guest experience.
Yes. Plant walls can be designed to suit a wide range of lighting conditions, including low-light environments. We carefully select plant species and systems that will thrive in the space, ensuring the greenery remains healthy and visually consistent over time.
A living wall uses real, growing plants that require ongoing care, while a moss wall is made from preserved moss that requires little to no maintenance. Both can create strong visual impact, but the right solution depends on the space, light conditions, and design intent.
Hotel plants do require regular care to keep them healthy and looking their best. This typically includes watering, pruning, and monitoring plant health. With the right design and maintenance approach, they remain a long-term, reliable feature within a hotel environment.
The best plants depend on the specific conditions of the space, including light, temperature, and usage. In hotel environments, we prioritise plants that are resilient, visually soft, and suited to high-traffic areas, ensuring they contribute to both the design and long-term performance.
Greenery helps create environments that feel calmer, more welcoming, and more comfortable. Exposure to nature-inspired spaces has been shown to reduce stress and improve overall wellbeing, contributing to a more positive and memorable stay for guests.
Greenery can be integrated throughout the hotel as part of a biophilic interior design approach, including lobbies, reception areas, restaurants, bars, wellness spaces and transitional areas. Each space requires a tailored solution to ensure the greenery complements how it is used and enhances the overall experience.
