Moss Walls: The No-Maintenance Upgrade Hotels Are Using to Increase ADR and Guest Perception

In today’s competitive hospitality market, design is more than aesthetics — it’s a strategic asset. Hotels are constantly seeking ways to differentiate their brand, elevate guest experience, and improve booking performance. One solution that's gaining traction for its impact and simplicity? Moss walls.

Why Moss Walls?

Moss walls offer a lush, natural design feature that instantly elevates interior spaces — and unlike living walls, they require zero maintenance. No watering. No trimming. No sunlight. Just timeless greenery that looks and feels fresh all year long.

But it’s not just about the look. The presence of natural elements like moss walls ties directly into KPIs that matter in hospitality.
