Welcoming the guests in the forecourt of the hotel entrance, the 17-meter-tall Cassia javanica var. indochinensis was present prior to the construction of the former Murray Building, and diligently preserved as the building was transformed to the luxury hotel. The tree was registered as an O.V.T. in 2004, the only O.V.T. of its species in Hong Kong, for its large size, precious species and historical significance. Every year between April and May, the majestic OVT flowers with stunning pink buds and white petals, hence fondly referred to as the “Pink and White Shower”. The blossom can be viewed from the Garden Level or through the iconic Arches, as if the gorgeous scene is a masterpiece framed by the arcade.
位於酒店前庭的節果決明古樹早於美利大廈建成前已屹立原址，並於活化改建成香港美利酒店時得以細心保育。古樹於 2004 年憑藉其高大雄偉的體型、珍貴樹種及重要歷史價值被列入香港古樹名木册，亦是僅僅一棵入選的節果決明樹。每年的四月至五月，高達 17 米的大樹綻放出淺白粉紅的花串，漫天紛飛如雨灑下，動人的景象如詩如畫。賓客可從酒店花園樓層仰望，或是透過酒店標誌式拱廊眺望古樹，猶如以畫框包圍著這幅獨一無二的美景。
