This hotel’s ‘Mad Hatter’ themed package is the most fun you can have this Easter

By Yay Cork March 27, 2023March 27, 2023

Brought to you by The Imperial Hotel. 

Don’t be late for this very important date.

If you’re looking for a way to spoil some-bunny special this Easter, The Imperial Hotel is transporting guests to a fairytale land of fabulous cocktails, outrageous food, and grown-up fun.

Cork’s grande dame has been taken over by the zany Mad Hatter from Lewis Carroll’s novel Alice in Wonderland, inviting guests to ‘spring’ down the rabbit hole for an overnight staycation like no other.

The fun starts in the iconic lobby, where top hats and wonderland flourishes come tumbling in topsy-turvy fashion from the high vaulted ceiling overhead. The hotel has collaborated with talented milliner Tina Coyne from Elizabeth Christina Design in Kinsale to curate a hat and headwear showcase in true ‘Mad Hatter’ fashion.

After you check in you can search for the white rabbit and his signature pocket watch amongst the impressive floral displays throughout the hotel’s ground floor and pose for the ‘Gram at the photo wall.

Little bottles labelled ‘Eat me’ and ‘Drink me’ playfully invite you to sample delicious food and drinks with a mad hatter twist as you sit down for a Mad Hatter’s Tea Party (also available to day visitors) prepared by the hotel’s talented pastry team.

Savoury treats include; a hot cross chocolate bun, buttermilk scone with cream and jam, cream cheese and cucumber finger sandwiches, egg mayonnaise on a brioche bun, mushroom pâté on brown bread, bacon jam and cheddar on brown bread.

Sweet confections will include the ‘Grow me Shrink me Shroom’ – a choux bun filled with vanilla ganache, blackberry gel on a pistachio sablé biscuit, the ‘Always Time for Tea’ spiced biscuit, and a ‘White Rabbit’ carrot cake.

Afterwards, a ‘Mad Hatter’ signature cocktail, devised using local ingredients and Irish spirits for your delectation at No. 76, the trendy bar within the hotel, will leave you smiling like a Cheshire cat.

The Mad Hatter-themed package at the Imperial Hotel is available for bookings now until April 16th and includes an overnight stay for two people with afternoon tea, cocktails, and a birdcage sharing platter to share plus breakfast from €160 per person. You can also add a couples spa treatment from Escape Spa at the Imperial for extra indulgence.

To make a booking email reservations@imperialhotelcork.ie or call 021 4274040.
