The Bournemouth Highcliff Marriott Hotel has launched a summer gin pop-up in collaboration with local producer The Conker Distillery.
Running daily throughout August and September, the pop-up serves Conker’s small-batch gins from the hotel’s outdoor pool bar. A highlight of the menu is the specially created Highcliff Gin & Tonic, combining Conker Raspberry Gin with tonic, lemon and mint.
The bar is open to both hotel guests and locals. Visitors can enjoy drinks on the hotel terrace with views over the coast and branded Conker deck chairs creating a relaxed setting just steps from the beach.
Every Friday night in August, guests will also have a front-row seat for Bournemouth’s weekly fireworks display, which takes place at 10pm by the pier.
Michael Regenhardt, General Manager of the hotel, said the pop-up was a way to make the most of their views and recent renovations, while Rupert Holloway, founder of Conker Distillery, called it a “homecoming”, with their Southbourne base located just minutes away.
Highcliff Marriott Hotel completed a major refurbishment earlier this year, upgrading its rooms and outdoor spaces.
