“The best reaction is when jaws drop and people say they’ve never seen the same floral arrangement twice. These are magical moments that really give meaning to what I do for the hotel. Just for those moments, I would not trade my life as an artist for anything” – Jeff Leatham

With his team of seven assistants, Jeff Leatham is able to create a new theme every month, refreshing and embellishing his floral arrangements every day and sometimes even every hour. Every month, Jeff Leatham creates 10 key compositions for the lobby and all public areas.

Recognised worldwide, Jeff has truly revolutionised the floral art in all its forms.
