UK-based confectioner Hotel Chocolat is adding two locations in Chicago, in the Lincoln Park and Lakeview neighborhoods.

The Lakeview store opened on April 3, followed by the Lincoln Park location later this month. The new locations include more than 100 recipes in the Hotel Chocolat’s “Wall of Chocolate,” with flavors like Lemon Curd, Spicy Chilli and Maple, and Nutty Praline.

The stores will also feature the Velvetiser Cafe, which serves the brand’s drinking chocolate in 18 flavors, including Black Forest Gateau and Salted Caramel.

“Hotel Chocolat is on a mission to reinvent chocolate globally – transforming the way it is enjoyed with unique formats and flavors,” said Angus Thirlwell, president and founder of Hotel Chocolat. 

“We are delighted to bring Hotel Chocolat to the vibrant city of Chicago and introduce a new kind of elevated chocolate experience for people to fall in love with.”

Luxury cacao grower and chocolatier Hotel Chocolat was founded in 2004. The brand was acquired by Mars in 2023 and currently has stores in the UK and internationally.
