Hotel Chocolat Voucher Codes

History of Hotelchocolat

The first Hotel Chocolat store opened in 2004 in North London, and was the start of a British chocolate revolution. Now, Hotel Chocolat have over 75 stores in the UK and creators Angus Thirlwell and Peter Harris are still guided by their three basic values: being fresh and creative; making authentic chocolate fresh from the cocoa bean; and ensuring cocoa farmers worldwide get respect and a fair deal from Saint Lucia to Ghana. These ethics have created some of the best quality chocolate available in the UK, and has extended the brand online and worldwide.

The company first started making Easter eggs, but instead of making thin, cheap, value eggs like they were told, they decided to do the opposite and created Easter eggs with ridiculously thick shells with lots of chocolates inside. When they went on to create chocolate pieces, they created their definitive and iconic "giant slabs" instead of the usual bite-sized pieces, proving their determination to bring quality chocolate to the customer.

Hotel Chocolat's house grade milk chocolate has 50% cocoa and their white chocolate even has 36% cocoa, fulfilling their mantra of more cocoa and less sugar. Hotel Chocolat even has an actual hotel now, the beautiful Boucan, as well as two restaurants in the UK, Rabot 1745 and Roast+Conch, and even sells savoury cocoa products in their stores.

At their 250-year-old plantation in Saint Lucia Hotel Chocolat have created a plantation spa, which offers Hotel Chocolat's beauty range. They also have cafes and stores dotted around the UK, and have just launched a cookbook this year, as well as a School of Chocolate in Copenhagen.
