Can Flowers Be Delivered to Hotels or Hospitals Abroad?

Yes, MyGlobalFlowers.com delivers flowers to hotels and hospitals. Both require more detail than a standard home delivery, and both involve steps the sender needs to confirm before placing the order.

Hotel Flower Delivery Abroad

Before you order: confirm the hotel accepts outside deliveries Not all hotels accept flower deliveries from outside couriers. Before placing your order, check whether the hotel’s policy permits it. If the receptionist refuses to accept the bouquet on arrival, we are not able to take responsibility for that outcome. This situation is particularly common in Turkey.

What details to include For the courier to hand off the delivery at reception, the order must contain:

Room number, registered in the recipient’s name
Name of the person who owns the reservation

Both details are required. If the room number is not registered under the recipient’s name, reception may not be able to accept the bouquet.

If delivery cannot be completed If the room number and local phone number are missing from the order, and the recipient does not respond to a call from the courier, the bouquet is returned to the florist. It stays there until the correct details are provided.

Re-delivery is available upon additional payment once the correct information has been confirmed (room number or the name of the person the order was placed for).

The recipient can also collect the bouquet directly from the florist if re-delivery is not practical.

Hospital Flower Delivery Abroad

Before you order: confirm the hospital accepts flower deliveries Hospital policies on outside deliveries vary. Before placing your order, check whether the specific medical facility permits flowers and gifts from outside couriers. If the receptionist refuses to accept the bouquet on arrival, we are not able to take responsibility for that outcome.

Note that couriers are not permitted on hospital wards, as these are sterile areas. All deliveries are made to reception, which then routes the bouquet to the patient.

What details to include Hospitals with multiple departments require specific information to route a delivery correctly. The order must include:

Hospital name and department name (for example: surgery, gynaecology, cardiology)
Room number
Patient’s first and last name

The more specific the details, the easier it is for the courier to find the correct location and hand off the bouquet.

If delivery cannot be completed If the courier arrives at the address and reception states that the patient is not present or has been discharged, and the recipient cannot be reached by phone, the bouquet is returned to the florist until further clarification.

Re-delivery is available upon additional payment once updated information has been confirmed (ward name, room number, and patient name).

The recipient or a family member can also collect the bouquet directly from the florist.

Hotel vs. Hospital: What to Include

Location Required details What happens if details are wrong or missing

Hotel Room number (registered in recipient’s name), reservation owner’s name, local phone number Bouquet returned to florist; re-delivery on additional payment after correct info is provided

Hospital Hospital name, department name, room number, patient’s full name, local phone number Bouquet returned to florist; re-delivery on additional payment after correct info is provided

Steps for Ordering Flowers to a Hotel or Hospital Abroad

1. Confirm the facility accepts outside deliveries Check with the hotel or hospital before placing the order. If a receptionist refuses the bouquet on arrival, re-delivery will require additional payment and the correct details.

2. Use the exact names on record For hotels: use the name on the reservation, not a nickname or first name only. For hospitals: use the patient’s full legal name as registered at the facility.

3. Add internal location details For hotels: room number registered in the recipient’s name. For hospitals: department name, room number, and full patient name. If the hospital has multiple buildings or entrances, include whichever details help the courier find the right reception desk.

4. Add a local phone number Include a phone number the courier can reach. If no number is provided and the delivery cannot be completed, the bouquet is returned to the florist, and re-delivery requires additional payment.

5. Choose the delivery date carefully For hotel guests: choose a date when they will be at the property. For hospital patients: consider whether they are likely to still be admitted on the delivery date. Same-day and next-day delivery are available for selected international orders depending on the destination and product.

6. Add delivery notes Use the notes field for anything that helps the courier navigate the facility: “Leave with hotel reception for the guest in Room 412” or “Cardiology department, Room 7, third floor.” Keep the note factual and specific.
