Timeless Design & Historic Influence

The Spa opened in January 2001 as a 17,000-square-foot facility. Due to overwhelming guest demand, the facility underwent a massive expansion just three years later in 2004. This project nearly doubled the spa's size to 40,000 sq. ft., establishing it as one of the largest resort spas in the nation. The expansion not only increased the number of treatment rooms but also introduced The Oasis, an exclusive restaurant for spa guests where dining in a plush robe and sipping on a Hershey's Signature Martini is the standard.

At the Chocolate Spa, history meets continuous enhancements.The spa's timeless architecture pays a beautiful tribute to the Hershey legacy. The interior décor was inspired by High Point Mansion, the elegant home of Milton and Catherine (Kitty) Hershey. The facility overlooks the Hotel's formal gardens and reflecting pools, offering a European-style atmosphere.

The Chocolate Spa recently completed a series of renovations, while still preserving its historic influence. Significant updates were made to The Quiet Room and Aromatherapy Room, where guests can relax before, in-between and after treatments, while the locker rooms also have all new flooring, showers, infrared saunas and soaking tubs.
