Chocolate Boutique Hotel

Hotel offers rooms like 'Chocolate Truffle Suite' London - Arabstoday The chic and unique Chocolate Boutique Hotel in Bournemouth has been named one of best "girliest hotel getaways" in the world by CNN Travel. In a round-up of seven "quintessential girls’ getaways" published this month, the travel website describes the deliciously different hotel and its chocolate shoe making workshops as "double whammy heaven". “There are daily chocolate deliveries and themed rooms like “The Cocoa Bean” and the “Chocolate Truffle Suite” as well as a variety of events including tastings, bean-to-bar workshops and even a chocolate shoe moulding class,” runs the report. “Who can resist?” Other top girlie getaways included in the CNN round-up are Surf Goddess Retreats in Indonesia, Chopard Ladies Floor at the Jumeirah Emirates Towers in the United Arab Emirates and female bonding programmes at the Lake Austin Spa Resort in the United States. Also mentioned are cowgirl boot camps at the Alisal Guest Ranch and Resort in the United States, high tea and high fashion at Hotel le Bristol in Paris and the Diane von Furstenberg-designed suite at the Hayman Island Resort in Australia. In its write-up, CNN Travel said hoteliers across the globe had finally heeded the demand for exclusively female experiences thanks to the recent rise of ladies-only gyms, taxis and subway cars. “Today’s offerings ranging from cowgirl romps to teatime fashion shows, the hotel industry finally acknowledging that women desire holidays that provide not only safety, but also glamour and excitement,” it said. “Girly hotel stays are no longer limited to cutesy pastel-coloured rooms and run of the mill spa treatments.” Chocolatier Gerry Wilton, who founded the unique chocolate themed hotel with his wife Roo and daughters Leoni and Polly, said they were delighted to have been featured in the round-up. “CNN Travel lists the world's best travel, entertainment and lifestyle experiences so it’s a privilege to be included,” he said. Last month, the Chocolate Boutique Hotel unveiled its new chocolate sleepovers, which are already proving very popular with hen parties. At chocolate sleepovers, guests can paint their portrait in chocolate, take part in a chocolate and wine tasting and sip chocolate cocktails before nestling down for sweet dreams in a chocolate themed room.
