Christmas Tree 2026

This year, we are delighted to welcome long-time friend of Claridge’s, designer Dame Anya Hindmarch, to create our much-anticipated annual Christmas tree. For 2026, the tradition is reimagined as the Claridge’s Christmas Treehouse, which will be unveiled in our iconic lobby on the morning of Wednesday 25 November.

Nestled within the branches of a traditional fir tree and illuminated with twinkling lights, the Claridge’s Christmas Treehouse will bring Anya Hindmarch’s signature sense of wonder to life. Inspired by the nostalgic magic of fairytale adventures, the installation will be filled with whimsical details, playful touches and festive enchantment, inviting guests to step into a world of imagination at the heart of Claridge’s.

“Claridge’s has always been special to me. There is something about crossing that marble entrance, that sweeping staircase, those Deco doors. I had my 21st birthday there many moons ago, and for my family, it has always been a place of special celebrations and a place to make memories. So it is a huge honour to be asked to create the Claridge’s Christmas Tree, and to transform it into the Claridge’s Christmas Treehouse… a little festive abode that will take up residence in the famous lobby. I hope it will contribute to more memory making for guests and visitors alike, as Claridge’s has always done for me.” - Anya Hindmarch 

“It is a joy to see two such utterly British names come together, at this most magical time of year. It is an honour to collaborate with our friend Anya Hindmarch, a true creative powerhouse, for this special moment in the Claridge’s calendar, and we look forward to seeing how she brings her inimitable style and sense of playfulness to the hotel. In fact, there is more to come with this special union, and we can’t wait to reveal all next year…” - Thomas Kochs, Claridge's Managing Director
