When Moyses Stevens, London's oldest florist, established in 1876, first crossed paths with the Burj Al Arab, it was a meeting of two institutions that share the same uncompromising obsession with excellence. One is a 150-year-old British floral dynasty that has held a Royal Warrant and dressed the rooms of Buckingham Palace. The other is Dubai's most iconic landmark, rising from its own island on the Persian Gulf, a billowing sail of audacious engineering.
Why the Burj Al Arab Chooses Moyses Stevens:
The Burj Al Arab does not settle. Its 202 duplex suites are furnished with Hermès toiletries, its seafood is flown in daily, its butlers are trained to anticipate needs before guests voice them.
Naturally, we at Moyses Stevens share the same obsession over detail and commitment to a flawless customer experience. So the integration of Moyses Stevens flowers greeting guests in the Burj Al Arab lobby was a seamless one.
For the Burj Al Arab, flowers are not decoration. They are an expression of the hotel's personality: bold, architectural, unexpected, and always immaculate. Finding a floral partner who could consistently deliver at that level, required a florist with not just technical skill but genuine creative vision. At Moyses Stevens, we were privileged to take on this commanding role, and we seek to continue driving a creative vision where heritage meets innovation, ensuring every petal reflects our dedication to perfect floral artistry.
The Art of Dressing a Seven-Star Hotel:
Creating flowers for the Burj Al Arab is unlike any other commission. The scale is extraordinary, lobby installations that can reach several metres in height, arrangements designed to be viewed from multiple floors above and below. The sourcing requirements are equally demanding, only the finest seasonal blooms, sourced from the world's premier growing regions, are considered.
But what separates Moyses Stevens' work at the Burj Al Arab from any standard corporate flower contract is the creative process itself. Each installation begins weeks in advance with detailed sketches, colour studies, and material selections. The team considers the architectural lines of the space, the lighting conditions at different times of day, and the mood the hotel wishes to create for its guests in a given week or season.
A Partnership Rooted in Shared Values:
What makes the Moyses Stevens and Burj Al Arab partnership work is not simply the quality of the flowers, it is the alignment of values. Both brands believe that excellence is not a destination but a daily practice. Both understand that their customers can detect the difference between genuine craftsmanship and the appearance of it. And both share a belief that beauty has the power to transform a person's experience of a space.
For Moyses Stevens, the Burj Al Arab relationship represents something deeply meaningful: proof that a 150-year British floral tradition can travel, adapt, and thrive in one of the world's most demanding luxury environments. For Dubai, it signals that the emirate's most iconic institution trusts British floristry at its finest.
Bringing the Same Standard to Every Corner of Dubai:
The Burj Al Arab partnership is the most celebrated example of Moyses Stevens' work in Dubai, but it is far from the only one. The same team of internationally trained florists who create the Burj's weekly installations are available to create the same standard of bespoke floristry for private clients across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah.
Whether you are hosting a private dinner in your Palm Jumeirah villa or planning a corporate event at DIFC. Moyses Stevens brings to every commission the same rigorous standard that has satisfied the Burj Al Arab. Because for Moyses Stevens, every arrangement deserves nothing less than the very best.
