INNSiDE Manchester, part of Meliá Hotels International, is excited to reveal their new collaboration with Manchester-based Chocolatier, Oli The Choc, who will take on a brand new role as the First Street hotel’s in-house Chocolatier.
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 will head up a series of impromptu chocolate workshops for guests staying at the hotel. Guests can also now add a ‘Curiouser & Curiouser’ chocolate hamper to their room when booking their stay at INNSiDE Manchester.

Threading the partnership through the whole hotel, guests can try the ‘Chocolate INN Disguise’ cocktail at INNSiDE Manchester’s in-house 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.
