This paper treats the landscaping of the luxury hotels from an sustainable, ecological perspective. The impact which such a building and its functions may have on the environment is not negligible. In Romania the sustainable landscape architecture still does not have an important place in the various urban developments. The purpose of this paper is to raise awareness and bring to the attention of the specialists and the wider public an important subject which can change the perception of the sustainable landscape. The methods used are: analysis of the data obtained from the study of scientific literature, comparative studies between landscape architecture of the international luxury hotels and hotels in Romania, empirical data generated by the case study whose main subject was a luxury hotel in Cluj-Napoca. The results show that a number of principles, stages and basic features that ecological landscape design should meet, are not applied in Romania. Ecological landscaping techniques are still perceived reserved even at international level, but their application has a higher rate in other countries compared to Romania. The awareness of the public and of the professionals in connected fields represents an important step.
