Hotel Chocolat

When the very first Hotel Chocolat store opened its doors in North London in 2004, it was the start of a revolution in British chocolate. Two entrepreneurs, Angus Thirlwell and Peter Harris, were on a mission to make chocolate exciting again.

As our retail estate continues to expand so does our ambition by adding new and more immersive ways to explore our brand through cafés, outlets, and factory stores. We also offer a luxury eco-hotel on our working cacao farm in the Caribbean and have set out to bring chocolate happiness to the American market.

We are on a continual journey of development and growth, yet everything we do is still guided by the three unwavering values that we started with – and it always will be…

We’re constantly striving to be fresh, creative, and innovative, and always one surprising step ahead. We take inspiration from everything we love; from the fruit at our cacao farms’ lush rainforest surroundings to classic British desserts and tipples. Right from the start we’ve never played by the rules of what people said a chocolate company should be.
