Checking in to the Dolder Grand, guests will be struck by the elaborate flower arrangements placed throughout the hotel and in its 175 guest rooms and suites.
Fresh orchids brighten up guest rooms, while Arabian starflowers in an Anna Torfs vase complement the living room of the spectacular Masina Suite. Purple alliums are showstoppers in the spa lounge.
Another point worth noting: the frequency with which these displays are changed. Every morning before guests begin to stir, a dedicated team of three, in-house florists are busy refreshing the works of art from the hotel’s dedicated flower room, where they select, cut, and design new bouquets for visitors and guests to enjoy daily.
Guests taking part in the Dolder Grand's flower arranging workshop will learn the art of floral design from some of the best in the business.
Each display gracefully enhances the hotel's interiors, and, while the ephemeral arrangements appear effortlessly composed, a behind-the-scenes experience with the Dolder Grand’s flower artisans reveals the work that goes into bringing each creation to life.
Flower-loving guests are invited to surround themselves in a world of colorful blooms. Led by head florist, Cristina Mathis and her team, guests taking part in the flower arranging workshop will learn the art of floral design from some of the best in the business. Learn techniques like composition, how to enhance your environment with flowers that complement the setting, and the secret to the Dolder’s purist style. “In the public areas of the hotel, we tend not to have any mixed floral arrangements,” says Cristina, opting for voluminous bouquets of single species and colors in her arrangements.
Then, it’s time for guests take the reins, creating personalized bouquets to match their own style and fragrance preferences. What could be a better memento of your stay at the Dolder Grand?
