TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — The Sheraton Grand Taipei Hotel has partnered with British fragrance house Jo Malone London to launch its 2025 “Fun & Games” holiday celebration.
The collaboration, which runs through December, transforms the hotel into an immersive British-style stage featuring themed decor and a series of fragrance-inspired culinary offerings.
The hotel lobby serves as the focal point, designed to reflect the playful aesthetic of Jo Malone London’s latest collection. The space is decorated with chessboards, dice, and harlequin patterns, creating a sophisticated yet whimsical atmosphere.
At the heart of the display is a towering Christmas tree. The decor utilizes a palette of deep green, blue, and red to mirror the brand’s holiday scent collection. On the evenings of Dec. 24 and 25, the lobby will host live musical performances and appearances by Santa Claus to hand out holiday treats.

The partnership extends into the hotel’s culinary departments, where chefs have translated olfactory notes into seasonal flavors. The Deli bakery is offering a selection of limited-edition desserts through Dec. 28 that echo specific perfumes.
The selection includes the apricot traveler cake, which uses French Lescure AOP butter and apricot filling to complement sandalwood notes. Other featured sweets include Chubby Santa, a cherry and dark chocolate cake inspired by roasted chestnut scents, and the Cocoa Bell, which blends hazelnut with 65% bittersweet cocoa.
Traditional holiday items also return, including the classic King’s Pie, a galette des rois with hidden porcelain figurines, and the Christmas forest, a matcha mousse cake. For home celebrations, the hotel is providing takeaway hampers featuring roasted American beef and herb-roasted turkey paired with classic sides.
