A hotel in Yorkshire has created a chocolate orange-themed room and it is absolutely everything if you're a fan of the Terry's treat.
No doubt about it, the humble, orange-shaped Christmas chocolate is today one of the most iconic confectionery treats around.
Big brands like Starbucks, Costa, and Pret have all paid homage to it with the introduction of their own orange-flavored drinks, and now it seems that it's the turn of orange-themed Yorkshire hotel Clementines to tip its hat to the classic stocking filler.
It kind of makes sense, considering the fact that the chocolate confection originally hails from Yorkshire - first created by Terry's at Terry's Chocolate Works in York back in 1932.
Despite the fact that its production has since moved to France, Clementine's hotel is still paying homage to the citrussy chocolate treat in the form of a chocolate orange-themed hotel room.
The boutique hotel has recently undergone a. £1m renovation, and as part of its upgrade has introduced the new room - which is currently the talk of Yorkshire.
If you book to stay here, Once inside the chocolate orange-themed hotel room, staff will shower you in chocolate cocktails and gifts - with the option to order some special chocolate drinks up too.
The 4-star luxury boutique has a bartender on hand to create some special Terry's-inspired drinks, like their Chocolate Orange Daiquiri and After Eight Mojito, which can be enjoyed via room service in your room's luxurious jacuzzi bath or downstairs in the bar.
The chocolate orange-themed room is just one of 28 individually decorated bedrooms, all of which aim to blend Parisian chic with Yorkshire Victorian heritage.
Located in a leafy district just a stone's throw away from some of York's central tourist attractions, the Chocolate Orange room features a period four-poster bed, whilst other options at the hotel include a stunning After Eight suite with a garden view and a selection of double bedrooms.
Other sweetie-themed rooms at the hotel include The Matchmaker, The Tooty Frootie, The Fruit Pastillem The Yorkie.
If you really want to get into the chocolate spirit during your stay, there is also a guided tour of York's chocolate story that you can take in the city that will educate you on the history of York's most famous chocolate-making families and their wonderful creations.

A Leeds pub has been crowned one of the very best in the country by The Good Food Guide.
The trusted guide has just released its 100 Best Pubs in Britain list, and we're very chuffed with the results indeed.
Taking the coveted number three spot is our very own The Highland Laddie, a 100-year-old city centre institution that reopened in April 2025 in the hands of new owners Sam Pullan and Nicole Deighton.
These guys also run the Empire Cafe, so you just know it's going to be good.
Last year they soared straight to the top of the list and were crowned the best pub in the whole of Britain by the guide.

This time, the Queen's Arms over in Eccles came number one followed by The Cow in Notting Hill.
We still think bagging third place is quite the achievement, and if you've visited The Highland Laddie yourself you'll know just how much of a special place it is.
Don't just take our word for it, The Good Food Guide labelled the Laddie as 'a true pub with a genuine community vibe'.
They also said: "Reenergised by the team behind the Empire Cafe in 2025, this is everything that a proper English pub should be – 'oh, and they have a mustard menu!'
"Inside, the Laddie ticks all the boxes, preserving the essentials of a traditional old-school boozer and maintaining a genuine sense of community while letting the good times roll. As for the food, it’s ‘both high-end and accessible’, pulling in ideas from all over, whether you fancy a freshly shucked Lindisfarne oyster, a keema toastie or an elevated ham roll with bread cooked over the coals.
"Dig deeper and you might find a lobster madeleine with Yorkshire chorizo butter, a treacle onion tart or pork schnitzel with two fried eggs. Club steaks are served by the inch, there’s no creative let-up when it comes to sides, and the nostalgia is ramped up with the likes of strawberry and Champagne trifle with ‘sprinkles’.
"But never forget that this is a self-proclaimed ‘drinkers’ pub’ dispensing everything from ‘properly served’ British brews and ’the best Guinness in Leeds’ to a staggering line-up of whisky optics."

From here, you’ll be able to grab their unbeatable breakfast sandwiches, where soft scrambled egg is piled into warm brioche buns.
There are a dozen or so breakfast butties on the menu here (yes, they do all feature egg), with other fillings ranging from beef patties to turkey bacon to caramelised onion.
And there’s more – sides here include truffle hash browns, curly fries, and chicken bites.
Of course it wouldn't be a breakfast spot without some caffeinated beverages as well, so we predict as with their Manchester site you'll be able to grab your morning coffee and matcha as well as freshly squeezed orange juice fresh enough to cure any hangover.
We don't know of the exact location yet, but we do know it'll be in Leeds city centre.
