How to Send Flowers to a Hotel Guest in Los Angeles

To send flowers to a hotel guest in Los Angeles, address the order to the guest exactly as their reservation reads, add the hotel name and street address, and put the check-in and check-out dates in the delivery notes. The arrangement goes to the front desk or the concierge, who sign for it and hold it for the guest. Get those three details right and it lands the first time.

Use the name the reservation uses

A front desk searches its system by the name on the booking, not the name you use for the person. A guest booked as Katherine will not be found under Kate, and a room booked by a company or a partner may not carry the recipient's name at all. Write the booking name, add a confirmation number if you have one, and include the dates of the stay so the desk knows whether the guest is arriving, in house, or already gone. A room number is a bonus, and is often unassigned when you order.

Someone calls the hotel first

Every property receives differently. Some take deliveries at the bell desk, some at a service entrance, some insist the concierge sign. Before a run to a hotel we have not visited recently, the studio calls to confirm where the courier goes and who signs. You are welcome to call yourself, and if the hotel gives you a specific instruction, drop it into the delivery notes at checkout.

The front-desk handoff

Room access is where people are surprised. Hotels almost never let a courier upstairs, so the realistic picture is this: we hand the arrangement over downstairs, the desk calls the room or holds it until the guest returns, and many properties will carry it up themselves if you request that in the notes. For an arriving guest, the desk keeps it cool and presents it at check-in.

Timing it around check-in

Deliveries go out in two windows, 10 AM to 1 PM and 1 to 5 PM. Same-day orders are delivered in the 1 to 5 PM window, guaranteed, which lines up with a standard afternoon check-in. Order before 11 AM, Monday through Saturday, for same-day. For flowers waiting when a guest walks in, schedule for the check-in day; for a birthday or an anniversary evening, the morning window that day is safer. Our same-day collection shows what is ready to go today.

If the guest has checked out

Plans move. Hotels do not forward flowers, and an arrangement left for a departed guest is rarely recoverable, so message the studio as soon as you know. If we hear before the delivery window, we will re-route to another address in our area or hold the order for a new date.

Los Angeles hotels we deliver to

We run to properties across the city: The Beverly Hills Hotel and the Beverly Wilshire in Beverly Hills, Hotel Bel-Air at the head of Stone Canyon, Shutters on the Beach and the Fairmont Miramar in Santa Monica, The Ritz-Carlton, Marina del Rey on the water, The Hollywood Roosevelt, Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood, and the Millennium Biltmore Downtown, a few minutes from our studio on South Spring Street. Coverage and fees are on the delivery page.

What to send to a hotel room

Guest rooms are small and often dimly lit, so we build with line and height rather than a wide low bowl, in a vessel that needs no arranging. Everything is made to order from stems chosen that morning at the Los Angeles Flower Market, with arrangements from $150. Browse romance for an anniversary or a reunion, birthday for a celebration away from home, or everyday for a welcome that simply says someone is thinking of them.
