Guests will be able to eat, drink and sleep all things gin with the launch of London’s first ‘gin hotel’, The Distillery that opened in November.
In the heart of west London’s Portobello Market, the four-floor gin Mecca houses a micro-distillery, gin museum, specialist gin shop, two bars and restaurants as well as three boutique rooms for sleeping of the gin coma. The gin blending experience that is The Ginstitute that was established above Portobello Star, home of the award winning Portobello Road Gin, is the next step for the distillery.
“People who buy our gin come from all over the world to visit so we wanted to offer people a way to have a real connection with it,” said co-founder Ged Fletham. “I guess you could call it a modern-day gin palace. It’s a celebration and an education in the heritage and tradition of the spirit.”
Limited editions, experiments as well as in-house production is all part of the new distilling set-up with seasonal gin recipes forming the backbone of the menu at the Resting Rooms bar.
