VIP Amenities Don’t Always Come with a VIP Pricetag

How do you spoil your VIP guests? Express check in/out, butler service, pampering extras in the bathroom, and daily newspapers are common amenities, but what about adding one more personal touch with a vase of the finest fresh flowers?


A pricey, perishable product, flowers are not a common value-add for VIP guests, especially during the low summer season. Savvy hoteliers, however, know that these special guests not only expect a customized floral piece to be waiting for them when they arrive, VIPs are also very pleased to be lavished with a gesture of appreciation from their temporary “home away from home.” 


Luckily, VIP Amenities from ALISSAR® means that floral tributes are more affordable than you think. 

As a part of its Total Floral Solutions, ALISSAR® offers a diverse variable package for guest rooms that includes a wide range of customized floral arrangements & accessories: From a single rose in an elegant vase placed in the bathroom to a sophisticated flower arrangement brightening up a living room, the possibilities are endless.

So how does it work? First, ALISSAR® works with you to create a floral menu that matches your hotel’s interior, botanical preferences and budget. Then ALISSAR® assigns an in-house florist to keep track of all floral amenities, their production and expiry dates, and a schedule for refreshing each and every stem. And because we maintain a strict cold chain (click here to read about ALISSAR®’s dedication to flowers with a long vase life), we guarantee that our arrangements will maintain their freshness for three days/four nights.


This is how your VIP amenities instantly become more cost effective: Instead of charging a large, all-in-one fee for each arrangement, we simply divide the cost of the flowers over three days/four nights. And don’t forget, ALISSAR rents all of the vases and accessories, only charging you for the flowers themselves.

Contact ALISSAR® today to learn more about how our VIP Floral Amenity system can help your hotel continue to distinguish itself from other properties.

Tracing it to the Source: Kenya

A horticultural powerhouse, Kenya’s fertile soil, elevation and climate have made the country a major supplier of fresh products to Europe and the Middle East.

With high quality products and daily airfreight arrivals to key destinations, it is very clear that the Kenyan flower industry is set to grow from strength to strength.

ALISSAR® imports many of its roses directly from Kenya, which means we can offer the best varieties and the highest quality  flowers to our customers in the region.
