Investing in plants in hotel spaces is a strategic action that goes far beyond the purely decorative aspect. In 2025, when environmental awareness and concern for guest well-being become key elements in the hotel industry, introducing greenery, including preserved plants, is becoming an essential component of modern hotel design.
At Vikingmoss, a company specializing in decorative, stabilized plants, we're seeing a growing interest in green solutions in the hotel sector. Our experience with clients in the HoReCa industry clearly indicates that professionally designed greenery in accommodations brings tangible benefits to both owners and guests.
In this article, we will comprehensively analyze why it is worth investing in plants in hotel spaces, based on interior design trends and our many years of experience in providing stabilized plant solutions.
The multidimensional benefits of introducing greenery into hotel spaces
Introducing greenery into hotels is an investment that pays off on many levels—from improving guest well-being, to building brand image, to delivering tangible economic benefits. Let's take a closer look at the key aspects that make greenery an essential element of modern hotel spaces.
Improving air quality and indoor microclimate
Plants in hotel spaces significantly improve air quality, which directly translates into guest comfort. Studies show that indoor air can be 2-5 times more polluted than outdoor air.
Our stabilized mosses and plants, although they don't actively exchange gases like living plants, effectively act as natural air filters, trapping dust particles and other pollutants. Our company's proven solutions using lichen moss can reduce the number of airborne particles by up to 30%, as confirmed by tests conducted in hotel spaces.
Additionally, stabilized plants help maintain optimal humidity levels in rooms, which is particularly important in facilities with central heating or air conditioning, where the air is often too dry.
Positive impact on the well-being and well-being of guests
Contact with nature, even in the form of indoor greenery, has a scientifically proven positive impact on the human psyche. Environmental psychology research clearly indicates that being surrounded by plants:
- Reduces stress levels
- Improves concentration and sleep quality
- Increases the sense of satisfaction and well-being
For hotels, this translates directly into higher levels of guest satisfaction. Our experience shows that properties that have implemented Vikingmossgreen solutions have seen an increase in ratings on booking sites.
Building the image of an ecological and responsible business
In a time of growing environmental awareness, hotel guests are increasingly choosing properties that demonstrate concern for the environment. Many travelers declare that sustainability is an important factor when choosing accommodation.
The introduction of greenery, especially in the form of stabilized plants that do not require regular watering or intense lighting, allows hotels to build the image of ecological and modern facilities, without compromising on functionality and aesthetics.
Optimal green solutions for various hotel spaces
Each hotel space has its own unique characteristics and requires a tailored approach to landscaping. Our extensive experience has allowed us to develop optimal solutions for each hotel zone.
Lobby and reception – first impressions matter
The hotel lobby is the showpiece of the facility – a place that shapes guests' first impressions. This space is ideal for:
- Monumental green walls made of reindeer moss or flat moss
- Impressive compositions made of stabilized plants
- Large arrangements combining different types of mosses with stabilized eucalyptus
Research shows that guests make a decision about a hotel's quality within the first 90 seconds of entering the lobby. Attractive greenery can significantly impact this crucial first assessment.
Our premium clients confirm that investing in a spectacular green wall at the reception pays off not only in the form of better guest reviews, but also in the form of increased social media coverage, which translates into organic marketing.
Hotel restaurants – a combination of functionality and aesthetics
In dining spaces, combining aesthetic appeal with practicality is key. In hotel restaurants, the following are particularly effective:
- Cushion moss panels that additionally improve room acoustics
- Delicate arrangements of stabilized plants on tables
- Partitions made of stabilized greenery, creating intimate zones
Research shows that guests spend on average 15-20% more time in restaurants with green elements, which directly translates into increased food service revenue.
| Space type | Recommended solutions | Main benefits |
|---|---|---|
| Lobby and reception | Green walls, monumental compositions | Building a first impression, the wow effect |
| Restaurant | Moss acoustic panels, green partitions | Improving acoustics, creating an intimate atmosphere |
| Hotel rooms | Small compositions of stabilized plants | Improving sleep quality, a distinguishing feature |
| Wellness/spa areas | Moss and eucalyptus combinations | Aromatherapy, enhancing the relaxation effect |
| Conference rooms | Moss panels, botanical paintings | Improved concentration, reduced stress |
Hotel rooms – comfort and functionality
Our stabilized compositions are particularly effective in hotel rooms, requiring no maintenance while simultaneously bringing a touch of nature to a guest's private space. The most frequently chosen solutions include:
- Miniature paintings made of flat or cushion moss
- Compositions of stabilized eucalyptus , which additionally introduce a delicate, relaxing aroma
- Small arrangements of stabilized plants on desks or shelves
The presence of natural elements in the bedroom can improve sleep quality by up to 23%, which is a key factor in a guest's overall satisfaction with their stay.

Economic aspects of investing in hotel greenery
Investing in plants in hotel spaces is not only a matter of aesthetics and guest well-being, but also a rational business decision that brings tangible financial benefits.
Increased perceived value and potential for price increases
Hotels with professionally designed landscaping are perceived as high-end properties. According to hotel market data, properties that have invested in high-quality landscaping have been able to increase room rates by an average of 8-12% without negatively impacting occupancy.
Our experience with clients confirms that, especially in the boutique hotel and 4-5 star hotel segments, the investment in Vikingmoss solutions often pays off within the first year of installation.
Lower maintenance costs compared to live plants
Stabilized plants, including our flagship product, reindeer moss, offer a cost-effective alternative to live plants in hotel spaces. A three-year cost comparison clearly demonstrates the advantages of stabilized solutions:
- No costs for regular watering
- Eliminate expenses for specialized lighting
- No need to hire staff to care for plants
- Eliminating the risk of diseases and pests
According to our calculations, over a 3-year period, the costs of maintaining stabilized greenery are up to 70-80% lower than in the case of living plants on a similar scale.
Long-term durability and aesthetic stability
Vikingmoss stabilized plants maintain their aesthetic appearance for many years without losing color or shape. This is especially important in hotel facilities, where every design element should be of consistently high standard.
Our solutions, under the right conditions, retain their aesthetic value for up to 10 years, making them an exceptionally profitable investment compared to the need to regularly replace floral decorations or the problems of keeping plants alive in difficult hotel conditions.
Practical tips for designing green spaces in a hotel
Based on our experience with hotel implementations, we have prepared practical tips that will help you effectively introduce greenery into your hotel space.
Matching the character and style of the facility
Each hotel has its own unique character and style. Matching the type of greenery to the aesthetics of the facility is crucial to achieving a harmonious effect. The following solutions have proven effective in our practice:
- For Scandinavian-style hotels: light shades of flat moss, minimalist compositions of pampas grass
- For industrial-style buildings: contrasting combinations of dark reindeer moss with metal elements
- For boutique hotels: sophisticated compositions combining different types of mosses with stabilized eucalyptus
- For business premises: elegant, subdued arrangements with cushion moss and stabilized ruscus
Strategic placement of plants in hotel spaces
Equally important to selecting the right plants is their strategic placement within the facility. The best results are achieved by:
- Placing the largest, most impressive installations in areas with the highest guest traffic
- Using greenery as natural partitions in open spaces
- Introducing greenery elements at eye level in corridors and passageways
- Applying the principle of focus points – placing fewer but more spectacular installations instead of many small elements
Sustainable development and the ecological dimension of greenery in hotels
In an era of growing environmental awareness, it is worth emphasizing the sustainable development aspects related to the introduction of stabilized greenery in hotels.
Reducing the facility's carbon footprint
Vikingmoss stabilised plants contribute to reducing the hotel's carbon footprint by:
- Eliminating the need to regularly replace floral decorations, which reduces waste
- Reduction in water consumption, which traditional potted plants require in large quantities
- Reducing the need for transportation associated with plant replacement
Our analyses show that a medium-sized hotel, by choosing solutions with stabilized plants instead of traditional floral decorations, can reduce its carbon footprint related to plant decorations by up to 60-70%.
Summary – greenery as a strategic investment in the success of a hotel
Investing in plants in hotel spaces is much more than just a decorative decision. It's a strategic business move that translates into tangible benefits:
- Improving guest experience and increasing their satisfaction
- Possibility to increase prices and revenues
- Building the image of the facility as ecological and caring for the well-being of its guests
- Reduction of operating costs compared to maintaining live plants
- Creating a unique, distinctive design that sets the facility apart from the competition
