Sweet-as treats at Pullman Auckland

Easter may be long gone but chocolate lovers need not despair.

Pullman Auckland and Whittaker’s have teamed up to extend the sweet season with an indulgent chocolate month at the hotel to sate sweet taste buds.

Probably the most indulgent item on the menu is a chocolate scrub treatment at Spa at the Pullman but there’s also some sweet tastings for people who would rather have their chocolate and eat it too.

The range of sweet tastings going on at Pullman during May stretches from the restaurant menu to the five-star rooms to the hotel lobby and on to Spa at The Pullman.

The hotel’s dessert menu is overflowing with Whittaker’s chocolate. Treats include Whittaker’s Hokey Pokey cheese cake, Killinchy Gold & Whittaker’s Fruit and Nut ice cream, a chocolate fountain with condiments and 72% Dark Ghana chocolate fondue.

For people who really want to immerse themselves, there’s a chocolate weekend from 24 to 26 May where guests will be treated to in-room Whittaker’s chocolate treats and automatically entered into a draw to win back their accommodation. The prize includes a chocolate hamper and the Whittaker’s ‘A Passion for Chocolate’ book.

Hot chocolates will be at the ready at the Lobby Café, complete with Whittaker’s Sante bar of your choice.

At Spa at the Pullman, the exclusive chocolate scrub treatment uses Whittaker’s cocoa nib and the goodness of pure essential oils to create two delicious body scrubs – Peppermint Chocolate and Orange Chocolate.

In this case, chocolate will not blemish the skin but instead have positive spin-offs - protecting the skin against nasty free radicals and promoting skin elasticity.

Whittaker’s chocolate scrub treatments are available exclusively from Spa at the Pullman during the month of May for $99 (incl. GST), including complimentary valet parking, an Ultimate Milk and Honey Foot Ritual treatment and a delicious Whittaker’s chocolate treat. www.spaatthepullman.co.nz
