If gin is your favourite tipple then listen up because Slingsby Gin and Hotel Du Vin have collaborated to create a series of botanical-themed suites, inspired by Slingsby's award-winning gin and the 24 botanicals used to create it.

Available in five of the luxury boutique hotels – Wimbledon, Brighton, Birmingham, York and Harrogate – the Slingsby Ginspiration Suites aims to offer guests a one-of-a-kind hotel experience, all carefully curated with the gin lover in mind.

Designed by award-winning Chelsea Flower Show gardener and designer, Matthew Wilson, each suite has been transformed into multi-sensory botanical wonderlands, decked out with plants from floor to ceiling, which also aids relaxation.

Each suite is unique to the individual hotel, but guests can expect to find hanging sky planters with cascading foliage; vintage suitcases and travel chests planted with herbs; apothecary-style jars of dried botanicals such as fragrant juniper berries and rosehip and planters containing numerous living botanicals. A fragrant grapefruit tree is also a key feature, as it’s one of the main botanicals used to give Slingsby Gin its vibrant, citrus kick.

And of course, it goes without saying that each suite contains a gin bar, featuring both Slingsby’s award-winning London Dry and Rhubarb gins for guests to enjoy during their stay free of charge. Premium tonics and garnishes will also be available on the bar trolley.

Matthew, who won the People’s Choice Award at the Chelsea Flower Show for his show garden ‘God’s Own Country – A Garden for Yorkshire’ in 2016, created the suites with the themes of gin distillation and provenance in mind.

'This has been an extremely fun project to work on, using the 24 botanicals found in Slingsby to utterly transform five of Hotel du Vin’s stunning suites into the dream hotel room for a gin lover,’ Matthew said. 'The idea was to bring Slingsby’s picturesque Harrogate home to life in each suite with the restorative feel of the design and emphasis on being the perfect place to unwind, indulge and relax with a delicious G&T.'

The Slingsby Ginspiration Suites are available for booking at Hotel du Vin properties in Wimbledon, Brighton, Birmingham, York and Harrogate until 30th September. To book, please go to: www.hotelduvin.com
