A ski lodge in the centre of London?!?! – find out more with another superb competition!

By Alex Large  //  hellolondon  //  Comments Off

If you were ‘lucky’ enough to experience the snow, or lack of it in the Alps last year, you will know it was a bit of a washout, unless you fancied skiing in June, when very unseasonally they had a massive dump of the white stuff!? So because we cant rely on the snow in the Alps, one of our very ingenious hotel partners have come up with an amazing idea… bring the spirit of the Alps to London! And boy have they managed to do this!

The Montague on the Gardens Hotel – by far one of the nicest hotels in London (just check Trip Advisor if you don’t believe me!) has created it’s very own Ski Lodge! How cool is that? And to help you get into the Christmas Spirit (there is that C word again) they have created 11 different flavoured Vodka’s to see everyone through to Boxing Day. The thing is, they need a little help creating the final 12th Christmas Vodka flavour, so they have come to you – the loyal readers of the London Hotel Experts for help!

Not only that, but the creator of the winning flavour will be invited to The Montague on the Gardens for an overnightstay for 2 with breakfast! That is a pretty good prize on its own I hear you say, but the lucky winner will receive a personal Ski Pass for 2 to experience the Montague Lodge Winter Wonderland to take Afternoon Tea AND you will get to take home (or drink there and then!) a bottle of the Vodka you created! I am so excited writing this it is untrue! Oooh, and, your flavour will be on sale in the last 2 weeks of December to the public!

All of their current flavours have a Christmas twist. For example, Cinnamon, Candy Cane and Spiced Apple so get your thinking caps on and be creative! They will be able to make pretty much anything, but try and keep in the realms of reality with your thinking.

All you need to do to enter is to let us know your ideal flavour on The London Hotel Experts facebook page (link here) before the 06th November and will will announce the winner soon after. Please check out the T&Cs below, but on top of that please note that the prize can be taken up to the 31st March 2012, however if it is taken after the 31st December 2011, the Ski Passes will be substituted for something of equal value and the Festival Afternoon Tea will be substituted with a Montague Afternoon Tea – still very yummy!

Lastly, if you cant wait to win this prize, you can always stay at the hotel and experience the Winter Wonderland by booking with lastminute.com here!
