FAQ
Hotel plants, answered.
- What plants work best in hotel lobbies?
- Architectural olive trees, ficus, cypress and Mediterranean groves are the specifier's default — sculptural silhouettes that hold their form under uplighting and read as intentional design rather than decoration. VERDEA engineers each species as an indoor system: steel armature, cast bark, and silvered foliage rated for hospitality interiors.
- Can real plants survive in a hotel lobby?
- Only a narrow list — dracaena, ficus lyrata, kentia palm — and only under strict light, humidity and irrigation control. Most five-star lobbies fail this test. VERDEA's engineered botanical systems solve the constraint: indoor rating, fire performance, and a ten-year finish without watering, pests or replacement schedules.
- Are they fire-rated for commercial hospitality?
- Yes. All VERDEA installations are engineered to EN 13501 Class B and satisfy hotel-group brand-standard fire specifications, including operator requirements for Marriott, Accor, IHG, Four Seasons and Rosewood.
- How are hotel lobby plants installed with the building operating?
- VERDEA installs at night or during scheduled low-occupancy windows. Modular armatures allow silent, dust-controlled placement — a typical 6m Architectural Olive is installed in under four hours with no impact on guests.
- Do you maintain the installation after handover?
- Yes — every installation is delivered under Botanical as a Service™. Cleaning, inspection, leaf and branch replacement, seasonal styling and long-term refurbishment are managed by the studio for the life of the interior.
