This festive season, Daniel Lee has designed the legendary Claridge’s Christmas Tree.

The traditional 16-foot tree is adorned with bows made from surplus Burberry fabrics, a Victorian symbol of unity. The tree is covered in wild foliage and thistle, Scotland’s national flower, as a nod to Burberry’s connection to the Highlands, where its cashmere scarves are produced. The colours and textures bring the outdoors in, drawing from the beauty of the UK’s rich landscapes. The tree features hanging brass bells, inspired by the house’s Equestrian Knight Design, and baubles handmade by a British glassblower. The top of the tree is adorned with a gold crown, while the base features oversized floor-standing chess pieces and cosy cushions and blankets.

Set in the hotel’s lobby, Claridge’s annual Christmas Tree has long been a festive landmark for both Londoners and visitors, and Daniel Lee’s 2025 design, featuring elegant Burberry details, celebrates heritage, craftsmanship, and festive magic, inviting all to experience the season in a truly enchanting way.
