The Bailey’s Hotel in Bloom: A Luxurious Blend of Sustainability and Luxury

The Bailey’s Hotel London Kensington marks Earth Day with a vibrant celebration of sustainability in collaboration with sustainable fashion platform My Wardrobe HQ and florist Rebel Roses. This initiative underscores the hotel’s commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable practices, demonstrating that beauty and sustainability can seamlessly coexist.

The hotel unveiled a captivating display of sustainable silk flowers on its iconic staircase from Rebel Roses; a floral design company with a passion for producing sustainable florals. Rebel Roses specialises in crafting exquisite displays using silk flowers, championing longevity and minimizing environmental impact. Silk flowers, as opposed to fresh blooms, offer a sustainable alternative that can be reused, while remaining every bit as beautiful as real flowers, as demonstrated by the magnificent showcase of blooms at The Bailey’s Hotel, which will be present for all to capture it’s floral beauty for a week.

To complement the beautiful blooms, My Wardrobe HQ, a luxury fashion rental marketplace dressed attendees in sustainable luxury fashion from their catalogue during a launch event, offering guests the chance to look and feel good while minimizing their environmental impact. My Wardrobe HQ celebrates sustainability everyday by advocating for the resale and rental of clothing as a greener alternative to purchasing new clothing frequently.
