    Is this the world’s most expensive Christmas tree?

    Kempinski Hotel Bahia shelters 2019’s most decadent Christmas tree. In partnership with designer Debbie Wingham has unveiled this year’s festive decorations, which are complete with Bulgari, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Chanel statement baubles…

    With balmy temperatures all year round, Marbella is not the first place we would expect to find the most decadent Christmas tree in the world.

    Nonetheless, Kempinski Hotel Bahia has partnered with celebrity designer Debbie Wingham to reveal a festive showstopper; the beachfront escape is housing the world’s most extravagant Christmas Tree, worth a total of £11.9 million. Fashioned from high-value stones, the tree is peppered with pink, red, white and black diamonds, edible treats and traditional decorations.

    All flawlessly cut and ethically sourced, decorations include 3crt pink diamonds, 4crt sapphire, oval red diamonds, black and white diamonds, and a mixture of remastered, expertly upcycled jewellery from the likes of Bulgari, Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels and Chanel.

    Inspired by the verdant feathers of a peacock and the modernist art-deco era, the tree features unique martini glasses, feathers, perfume bottles and even 3D printed chocolate peacocks. But it wouldn’t be Christmas without tradition, and guests can still expect to find classic decorations such as snowflakes, fairies, nutcrackers and beautifully decorated baubles, carefully curated with a mixture of materials, from diamond dust and 24 carat gold to emu and ostrich eggs.

    Think you can beat it? We’re on the hunt for the most elaborate hotel Christmas decorations. Tweet us @HotelDesigns.
