Sweet Treats at The Spa at Hotel Hershey

This is What a Candy Bar Must Feel Like

Everyone knows that chocolate is good for the soul. But it’s good for the body, too! The Spa at The Hotel Hershey in Hershey, PA, offers true chocoholics the opportunity to thoroughly immerse themselves in their favorite dessert. Treatments range from facials to soaks to massages, with one special twist: it’s all about chocolate.



The Whipped Cocoa Bath ($45 for 15 minutes) sounds like a dream come true: soaking in foaming chocolate milk as daily worries melt away like… well, like chocolate! There’s also the Chocolate Fondue Wrap ($120 for 60 minutes): warmed moor mud and essence of cocoa are lavished on the body, which is then wrapped in a blanket. This is what a candy bar must feel like—except that candy bars don’t get to rinse off in a Vichy Shower.

If a whole spa vacation like the Heavenly Hershey Package (from $533) seems too extravagant for your budget, give a The Spa At THE HOTEL HERSHEY Gift Card ($25) or some treats like the Cocoa Bean or Chocolate Sugar Scrub ($23), a Cocoa Latte Bath Bar ($17) or Cocoa Moisturizer ($33). Chocoholics get to indulge your body in the most deliciously way possible, without gaining an ounce.
