To celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory film, a themed hotel room has been created at the Chocolate Box Hotel in Bournemouth, Dorset. Created in collaboration with LateRooms, guests gain entry to the hotel room with none other than a Golden Ticket key card.
The suite is a treat for candy lovers, since it provides not just a visual treat for the senses but also unlimited access to a chocolate fountain, lollipops, gumballs and many more treats that can be refilled upon request. Just as author Roald Dahl imagined, the walls are lickable too, and replaced after each guest's stay.
The sensory experience continues throughout the suite thanks to chocolate-scented toiletries and chocolate-filled baths. The paradise for chocolate lovers truly invites people into a world of imagination come to life.
