INNSiDE Manchester, part of Meliá Hotels International, is excited to reveal their new collaboration with a Manchester-based Chocolatier. Oli The Choc will take on a new role as the First Street hotel’s in-house chocolatier heading up a series of chocolate workshops for guests staying at the hotel.
Oli The Choc is described as ‘an avid creator of wild chocolatey awesomeness’, known for his innovative and stylish chocolate creations. As INNSiDE Manchester’s new in-house Chocolatier, Oli has also designed products for a new ‘Curiouser & Curiouser’ chocolate hamper which guests can order for their room when booking their stay at INNSiDE Manchester.
The ‘Curiouser & Curiouser’ hamper, priced at £16, contains a range of quirky chocolate products such as Oli’s famous Holy Grail Bar, Chocolate Fries, Chocolate Cassette Tapes, a Mini Chocolate Gameboy Replica, and other special surprises, featuring chocolates with unusual flavours.
The partnership will run further through the whole hotel, as guests can try the ‘Chocolate INN Disguise’ cocktail at INNSiDE Manchester’s restaurant, First Street Bar & Kitchen.
Launched in celebration of the new partnership, the Chocolate INN Disguise is a delicious creamy mix of summer fruits and an indulgent chocolate vodka infusion with a long chocolate finish.
The collaboration with Oli The Choc forms part of INNSiDE’s #StayCurious ethos which promises to accommodate guests’ every need with considered comforts and locally inspired experiences.
Scott Brown, Director of Sales at INNSiDE – UK North, said: “INNSiDE by Meliá is a lifestyle brand and our hotels are designed to appeal to those with curious minds who want the opportunity to discover something more from the area they are visiting. Experiencing the wonderful local independent, Oli The Choc, whilst staying in our Manchester hotel is a great way to connect with the city and what it has to offer.”
Oliver Dunn of Oli The Choc, commented: “I’m delighted to be working with INNSiDE Manchester as their in-house chocolatier. Working with INNSiDE feels like the perfect fit, their #StayCurious motto echoes throughout the management and team at INNSiDE Manchester.
“Curiosity is very important, so for me this really resonates. Curiosity drives my creativity and passion daily, as I strive to inspire my customers and social media followers with new, interesting and exciting products, ideas and content.”
