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.

Leeds Bradford Airport is set for a standstill as almost 130 workers are set to take industrial action over pay.
If you're planning on catching a flight from Leeds Bradford Airport, then you may want to double check the date.
The Unite members planning on going on strike are a mixture of air traffic control workers, customer experience staff, security staff and cleaners.
The workers involved in the dispute have recently come out of a four-year pay deal, with some of the departments having fallen behind other airports in equivalent roles.
Pay talks have been happening since December 2025, with the airport's formal offer not going far enough to address the lack of pay parity.
Strikes will take place from 03:00 Friday 16 October to 06:00 Sunday 18 October for hourly paid staff and from 06:00 Friday 16 October to 06:00 Sunday 18 October for air traffic control workers.
Strike will mean the entire airport will shut down.
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said: "Leeds Bradford Airport is very profitable and can more than afford to come back to the table with an offer that doesn't fall short of our members' expectations.
"Our hardworking members should not be paid less than those doing the same jobs at other airports. Workers taking action at Leeds Bradford Airport have Unite's full support in their fight for fairer pay."
Unite regional officer Neil Whitaker said: "We know people who have flights planned to and from Leeds Bradford Airport will be concerned to hear of industrial action, however our members have no choice but to strike.
"The airport is profitable, passenger numbers are growing and our members are a major part of its success. They deserve a fair pay rise, and management must come back to the table to deliver this."
Leeds pizza shop hailed ‘exceptional’ and ‘best in the UK’ by major reviewer
Clementine Hall
A Leeds pizza takeaway has received a glowing review from popular review duo.
Edges Pizza opened up their first permanent spot in Leeds back in June this year, after making a name for themselves slinging out pizzas at multiple pop-ups across the city.
Owners Grace and Edge from Harrogate opened Edges Pizza two years ago, taking inspiration from trips to New York over the years.

Their pizzas are a love letter to the class New York slice, think thin and crispy rather than chewy and floppy. But above all else, think absolutely delicious.
And now, they've caught the attention of a major review page, with Bite Twice Food Reviews (a page with almost 300k followers) paying Edges a visit.
The food review duo of Gerry del Guercio and Paul Delany popped up in Holbeck beneath the arches to get their hands on a pizza, and the outcome is brilliant.
In the video, Bite Twice said that the pizza is 'f**cking exceptional' and up there with 'one of the best pizzas in the UK'.
Before even taking a bite, they said: "On aesthetic, I don't think anywhere in the UK is doing pizza like this".

Then after the first bite, they go on to say: "There are very few pizzas in the UK that create this, I’m a little bit blown away".
As Londoners themselves, they go on to say that Edges is 'easily hitting with the best that we’ve got down south'.
And if that's not high praise enough, they sign off the video saying: "Leeds has got an absolute gem. I give this a stamp so hard my foot went through the pizza. Edges. Don Level."
