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.

Dishoom announces official opening date for new Leeds restaurant
Clementine Hall
It's the moment we've all been waiting for, Dishoom is coming to Leeds.
The whispers of Dishoom's arrival in Leeds city centre have been going on for a while now, but over the past few weeks it has started to feel very real.
Taking over the beautiful old Flannel's site on the coveted Vicar Lane, signs started to pop up for Dishoom and work was cracking on fast.
Well now, we have an opening date - and we don't have long to wait.
Dishoom Leeds will open on Monday 3 August, with guests being able to enjoy 50% off food during an initial soft-opening period, ahead of the official opening on Friday 14 August.

As with every Dishoom café, the Leeds restaurant begins with a story. This one takes inspiration from the extraordinary true events surrounding the explosion of the SS Fort Stikine in Bombay Dock in April 1944, a wartime disaster that sent gold bars flying across the city.
Legend has it that some of the missing gold was never recovered. Some was discovered embedded in walls and rooftops across Bombay. Other pieces quietly disappeared into the hands of lucky citizens, melted into bangles or hidden away in drawers.
Dishoom Leeds reimagines the fortune made from the gold bars and guests will discover subtle references to the glamorous mid-century details through the interiors and artwork, giving playful nods to Bombay’s golden age.
With all day dining available, guests can dine on the beloved breakfast right through to late evening feasting, with the café will serve a lovingly curated menu of Bombay comfort food inspired by the city’s cafés, grills, street stalls and family kitchens.
Shamil Thakrar, co-founder, also known as Head Babu, at Dishoom, said: “Leeds is a city with tremendous warmth, creativity and character, full of people who know the value of gathering together over good food and drinks. Bringing Dishoom here has long been a dream for us.”
"The story behind this café is rooted in one of Bombay’s most extraordinary moments – the day gold bars fell from the sky after the explosion of Fort Stikine in 1944. Amidst the tragedy and chaos, there were also tales of unexpected fortune, human resilience and hopeful reinvention. We were captivated by this, and we cannot wait to welcome Leeds into the café that pays homage to the heritage of Bombay.”
