Whittaker’s Hotel Sweet first wave sell-out sparks another chance for Chocolate Lovers to book their stay
Chocolate Lovers, your time has arrived. Whittaker’s has officially opened the doors to New Zealand’s sweetest stay, with guests now checking in to Hotel Sweet.
And with the initial release of rooms selling out in under an hour, Chocolate Lovers who missed out have another chance to secure a stay with a limited number of additional bookings going live this morning.
Created to mark 130 years of Whittaker’s chocolate-making, the one-of-a-kind chocolate ‘sweet’ sees the brand take over Auckland’s Michelin Key-awarded Hotel Fitzroy, bringing a more indulgent point of view to the stay.
Guests are welcomed with a chilled Whittaker’s chocolate milk on arrival, paired with a Creamy Milk Sante Bar, before stepping into their luxury suite to find a Whittaker’s welcome treat along with playful details, from soft furnishings to robes, slippers, premium linens and more.
Guests can expect plenty of Whittaker’s delights along the way. Bowls of Artisan Squares and Chocolate Pods placed throughout the hotel, plus a library of Whittaker’s chocolate past and present on display, inviting the most loyal Chocolate Lovers to browse, reminisce, and rediscover a few old favourites.
Afternoon high tea comes with additional Whittaker’s treats, while evening turndown brings a final touch of chocolate to the day. Breakfast is delivered to the room, with a Whittaker’s touch of course, then each stay ends on a high, with guests departing with their favourite 250g Whittaker’s block, wrapped as a parting gift.
Holly Whittaker, Co-Chief Operating Officer, says the response so far has been a reflection of the role Whittaker’s continues to play in Kiwi life.
“Seeing the first release sell out so quickly was pretty incredible. It’s a reminder of how much Whittaker’s means to our Chocolate Lovers, and how excited they are to be part of this milestone with us,” she says.
“We wanted to create something that felt genuinely special; a little nostalgic, a little indulgent, and something that people could really immerse themselves in, even if just for one night.”
Open for a limited time only, Hotel Sweet will continue welcoming guests across its two-week residency, with availability remaining extremely limited.
All proceeds from Hotel Sweet are donated to Save the Kiwi, Whittaker’s longest-standing charity partner.
The second release of bookings will be available via whittakershotelsweet.co.nz
