Horse manure's been dumped next to the five-star Ritz Hotel's Christmas tree in central London.
New campaign group Take Back Power says it was behind it, to protest against wealth inequality.
Some of the group's supporters held signs which read 'tax the rich'.
The Metropolitan Police said officers were called to reports of criminal damage at the five-star hotel in Mayfair.
No arrests have been made.
A Take Back Power spokesperson said: "It's time ordinary people, those most affected by inequality, get a say in deciding how to tax wealth through the means of a legally binding citizen's assembly - a House of the People."
