Hotel Principe di Savoia Dorchester Collection pays tribute to the city and its history with the creation of Principe Gin: a tailored gin, made by the Cillario & Marazzi distillery, in the heart of the Varese Prealps, famous for the use of high-quality organic ingredients and artisan production methods, which has best interpreted the wishes of the Bar Manager of Principe Bar, Daniele Confalonieri. A bottle and a stylish label, designed by the London artist Jordan Nelson, carefully match this precious gin, which can be consumed at Principe Bar and purchased exclusively inside the hotel and soon on the online shop. (Principe Gin 750 ml Saverglass bottle – price 250 euro).
