Arriving in New York after a long flight and city traffic means heading straight to your suite for some rest and relaxation. You’d opt for the minibar over the hotel bar while you get settled, but it’s a cocktail you’re after and you’re no mixologist…or are you?
The New York Edition has collaborated with Hendrick’s Gin to delight guests in a whimsical take on the minibar experience. Enter one of the hotel’s 38 suites and find a black book and wooden box waiting for you. Upon opening the book, you’ll begin a virtual cocktail lesson led by Hendrick’s East Coast Ambassador, Erik Andersson. A video instructs guests on how to create two Hendrick’s Gin cocktails – the Inspector Gimlet and Caught by the Fizz – utilizing the ingredients housed in the wooden box. First introduced in London, the H.O.T.E.L. (Hendrick’s Ocular Tool for Extraordinary Libations) experience provides a personal bartender and refreshing cocktail, all in the privacy of your suite.
“At Hendrick’s Gin, we strive to offer our consumers with the most uncommon and unusual experiences that can only be associated with the curious world of Hendrick’s,” said Andersson. “The Hendrick’s H.O.T.E.L. provides an unexpected twist to a seriously humdrum experience that is the hotel minibar, and allows guests the opportunity to create deliciously drinkable cocktails in the comfort of their own suite.”
