Once again, it was a very close race, as hotels around the world battled it out for Lodging Interactive’s third annual Instagram Hotel Christmas Tree Competition, which aimed to support local hotel charities. The stakes were high, and the competition was fierce, but in the end, only one could come out on top—the Hotel David Whitney.

"Our team enjoyed the opportunity to offer this contest for a third year. More importantly, we are now supporting the winner’s local charity, Alternative for Girls, by awarding $1,500 on behalf of the Hotel David Whitney,” said DJ Vallauri, Lodging Interactive’s Founder and CEO. “The contest ran from December 4th, 2025, through January 5th, 2025, and the winning post had 402 likes, 84 comments and 100 shares. Everyone participating in the competition showed incredible creativity and spirit this holiday season.”
