Some of the best amenities at Spa at Hershey can be found in the little things. Here are our top five picks:

1. Relaxation times four. The choice of three relaxation rooms to spend time in before and after your treatment is a luxury many spas don’t have. It allows you to find a space that fits your style — whether it’s the Moroccan-themed Oasis Lounge, the Quiet Room with a view of the gardens, the scented Aromatherapy Room or the peaceful Silent Relaxation Room — which means you’ll be even more relaxed when your therapist arrives to escort you to your treatment room.

2. Chocolate delights. The refreshments provided in the relaxation rooms are deliciously decadent. What other spa would offer you mugs of sipping chocolate to enjoy next to a pecan-fronted fireplace?

3. The Oasis. The spa’s interior lounge and restaurant is a beautiful space that makes spending an entire day at the spa so much more comfortable and easy. After your treatment, take a seat in the spacious room and mull over whether you should order the butternut squash bisque or the seared tuna.

4. The pool. The complimentary indoor hotel pool and its Jacuzzi are a great way to end your visit. You’ll leave feeling refreshed and reenergized.

5. The Inhalation Room. Sure, we did list this above; but aside from being a fourth relaxation option in the spa, we love the restorative aromas that emanate from this spot. Scents like jasmine and white tea are a nice change from the standard eucalyptus that fills many inhalation rooms.

The interior design of Spa at Hershey is traditional and elegant. Its space is modeled after the interior of High Point Mansion, the former home of the hotel founders, Milton and Catherine Hershey. And just like walking into a friend’s home, you’ll find the space here to be warm and cozy. Dark woods, stained glass windows, marble staircases, glass chandeliers and warm yellow walls are prominent features throughout the various public rooms. The Oasis, the spa’s lounge and restaurant, is perhaps the most decorated space, with red upholstery and Marrakech-inspired tile work that gives the room an ornate and slightly glamorous feel. The locker room and changing area is a bit more subdued, with blue and yellow tile work.

There is a small waiting area at Spa at Hershey. The area is behind the two leaded-glass doors at the spa’s main entrance and features a carved-wood reception area, stained-glass window and Murano-style chandelier. There is also a small display of spa-exclusive items like lotions that you can peruse while you wait for your treatment. The one downfall here is that the seating is limited, with room for only about four people. Thankfully, a host will arrive to usher you into the main spa fairly quickly. Avoid a longer wait for your Chocolate Fondue Wrap by visiting the spa’s website to download and fill out the required heath questionnaire prior to arriving at the spa.

There are four relaxation areas that you can use before or after your treatments at Spa at Hershey. Off the locker area of the spa is the Aromatherapy Inhalation Room, which is continually filled with relaxing and restorative aromas such a jasmine and white tea. At the top of the spa’s grand marble staircase is the Silent Relaxation Room, which is perfect for those looking for a more calming space. There’s also the Quiet Room, which is the spa’s main relaxation area. The Quiet Room is designed after the library at High Point Mansion, the Hersheys’ former home, and features a fireplace, pecan-paneled walls, comfortable seating and a terrace that overlooks the formal gardens of the hotel. If all this peace and quiet is not for you, head to The Oasis, the spa’s interior lounge and restaurant, which promises a livelier atmosphere.

Guests of Spa at Hershey have access to the indoor pool at the hotel. The pool is located on the first floor of the hotel and includes a large pool, whirlpool and lounge spaces. Keep in mind that you must travel through the corridors of the hotel to access the pool, so plan you attire accordingly. You may also use the outdoor pool complex of the hotel — which includes an adults-only pool, waterslides and the restaurant, Poolside — if you have booked more than three treatments at the spa. If you have scheduled less than three but would still like to use the pool complex, you can purchase a day pass for $50, as available.

The most unique treatment at Spa at Hershey is its signature Whipped Cocoa Bath. One of the few patented spa treatments, the 15-minute soak in a frothy chocolate milk-like mixture will soothe, smooth and soften your skin. It’s a quick add-on to any other treatment at the spa that takes your visit to a new level — not to mention, you’ll walk away smelling like chocolate, which is almost a requirement here. While most spas usually have just one chocolate-infused treatments, Spa at Hershey has a vast menu of them. Choose your calorie-free indulgence, or dive in and enjoy one of the seven sweetness-inspired signature Everything Chocolate packages.

When you arrive at Spa at Hershey, you can wear anything you wish — that’s basically because you’ll have to change. A spa host will give you a locker to leave any clothing or personal items in, as well as a robe and slippers. Remember which services you are receiving, and keep on as much under your robe as you are comfortable with doing. Facials require a therapist to have exposure to only your neck and shoulders, while a massage or scrub may require more. If you are receiving a treatment that includes the Spa Rain Shower, the spa recommends that you wear a swimsuit.

Spa at Hershey offers seven types of wraps, each featuring different exotic ingredients. The Chocolate Fondue Wrap is a signature service and uses the spa’s exclusive blend of warm moor mud and cocoa for revitalization and nourishment of the skin. The Green Coffee Wrap is perfect if you want to detox and help reduce cellulite. Other body wrap mixtures include rose-infused oils, white clay and lime, seaweed, milk and honey, and lavender body butter. During all the wraps, you are lightly massaged with the ingredients of your choice, and then wrapped in a reflective-lined blanket that helps warm those ingredients and absorb them into your skin. You’ll be able to rinse off that chocolate fondue in the Vichy showers.

When you go to Spa at Hershey, be sure to stop by its Garden Salon for even more pampering. The salon is in a separate area off the spa and offers a small list of services, including haircuts for men and women, as well as special occasion updos that are popular with the many brides who visit the hotel. Men might enjoy a classic shave here. And if you have dry or overworked hair, the Revitalizing Hair and Scalp Treatment can hydrate and relieve stress from your locks. The salon also offers makeup application, along with the standard manicure and pedicure treatments. It’s another excuse to extend your spa day.

Spa at Hershey offers two couples treatments. Opt for either the 50- or 80-minute couple’s massage, which in performed in a special room with side-by-side tables. You and your partner can choose from a traditional Swedish massage or one that features heavenly cocoa oil, soothing chamomile oil or intoxicating Cuban jasmine oil. Another couples treatment that’s available is the Sweet Feet for Two, a side-by-side pedicure experience that includes a warm foot bath with aromatherapy. It’s the perfect way to spend time with your loved one.

Some of the best treatments at Spa at Hershey are centered around — what else? — chocolate. It’s only fitting in this town where the street lamps look like Hershey Kisses. Here are our picks for the five best treatments.

1. Cocoa Massage. Kick off your visit to the spa with the Cocoa Massage, which involves a traditional Swedish massage that’s enhanced by the spa’s signature cocoa oil.

2. Cocoa Facial Experience. It’s another truly decadent service. The treatment mixes the heady aromas of caramel, strawberry, rose and mint with, of course, chocolate. These yummy-sounding ingredients are not only delicious, but provide soothing properties and skin-boosting antioxidants.

3. To allow some of those great ingredients to get to work on the rest of your body, opt for the Chocolate & Roses Decadence Body Treatment. Get an exfoliating scrub, heated body wrap and deep moisture treatment in one fell swoop.

4. Whipped Cocoa Bath. While it may only take 15 minutes, the spa’s signature (and patented) Whipped Cocoa Bath is worth adding on … if only to say you have bathed under a mini waterfall of frothy chocolate milk.

5. Sweet Hands and Feet. We’d suggest ending your sweet stay with a Sweet Hands or Sweet Feet treatment, in which your manicure or pedicure includes even more calorie-free chocolate.

Spa at Hershey offers acupressure treatments. The reflexology massage centers around the ancient Oriental art form, using pressure points to relieve stress in your personal trouble areas. The treatment also includes a light exfoliation of the legs and feet. Your tootsies get all the attention in the reflexology foot soak, which focuses on the traditional areas on the sole that can help trigger balance in corresponding parts of the body. You may also add on a 30-minute reflexology foot treatment to any other pedicure if you’d like to create a balance of Eastern and Western indulgences.

Spa at Hershey offers a variety of massages. A good number of them are traditional Swedish massages, which are offered either on their own or with various aromatherapy options. The spa also offers a Deep Tissue massage, which works the muscles against the grain to push out those stubborn kinks and treat your trouble areas. For more soothing results, there is a Hot Stone massage that utilizes warm rocks placed in various areas to sent you into a state of total relaxation. The Lomi Lomi massage uses ancient Hawaiian techniques that emulate the sensation of waves across the body. And for expectant moms, trained therapists offer a prenatal rubdown. The varied massage menu at the Hershey spa makes it easy for everyone to get pampered.

There are four relaxation areas that you can use before or after your treatments at Spa at Hershey. Off the locker area of the spa is the Aromatherapy Inhalation Room, which is continually filled with relaxing and restorative aromas such a jasmine and white tea. At the top of the spa’s grand marble staircase is the Silent Relaxation Room, which is perfect for those looking for a more calming space. There’s also the Quiet Room, which is the spa’s main relaxation area. The Quiet Room is designed after the library at High Point Mansion, the Hersheys’ former home, and features a fireplace, pecan-paneled walls, comfortable seating and a terrace that overlooks the formal gardens of the hotel. If all this peace and quiet is not for you, head to The Oasis, the spa’s interior lounge and restaurant, which promises a livelier atmosphere.

When you get a treatment at Spa at Hershey, you get access to the hotel’s small gym. It is located on the first floor of the hotel, but you must be 16 years old to use the facility. There, you can break a sweat with both cardio and strength training equipment, or you can join group classes like yoga or tai chi. Afterward, you can head to the locker rooms to relax in the dry sauna. However, keep in mind that the gym is separate from the spa, and you have to travel through the hotel’s corridors to change locations; so you should plan your attire accordingly.

The locker room and changing area at Spa at Hershey is a multi-room space that blends the spa’s classic décor with the practicality that’s needed there. The wood-paneled lockers are secured by an electronic keypad, allowing you to customize a password during your visit instead of having to fumble for a key. The alcove containing the lockers is small, but a curtain-covered privacy changing area off to the side does provide additional space. The bathroom area is done in a variety of blue tiles, including inlaid mosaics, and includes various marble-topped vanity areas to help ready yourself for the outside world after your day of chocolate-flavored treatments.

When you lounge in the relaxation rooms at Spa at Hershey, indulge in the refreshments while you wait. Choose among citrus-infused water, coffee or tea. The Quiet Room also offers fruit, decadent hot chocolate and assorted pastries (we loved the chocolate chip muffins). If you are looking for more sustenance between treatments, head to The Oasis, where you’ll find a full lunch menu of light, healthy options like salads, sandwiches and grilled items. It even has a lunch buffet and wine list.

Due to Spa at Hershey’s popularity, appointments should be made as far in advance as possible. Once you know which dates you’ll be at the Four-Star hotel, call and schedule your chocolaty treatments. This will give you the best chance at reserving the Whipped Cocoa Bath or the Chocolate Fondue Wrap at the time of day you wish. Weekends are traditionally busier, so keep this in mind if you are looking for a Saturday or Sunday appointment.

Spa at Hershey’s philosophy is to provide quality treatments with an air of elegance and polish. Inspired by Milton and Catherine Hershey, the hotel’s founders, the spa embodies the Hersheys’ style, tastes and passions. Its décor is a nod to their former home, High Point Mansion. Many of the treatments incorporate the Hersheys as well — particularly the Everything Chocolate ones, which include delicious product that made the family famous. You’ll see other elements of their lives reflected in the spa menu. For example, the Rose Garden treatments include the aroma or texture of Catherine’s favorite flower, while the Cuban Experience treatments embrace the citrus and spice of the island where Milton sourced his sugar. Finally, the Country Abundance treatments honor the dairy farms and rolling hills that surround the area the couple loved so much.

If you overdose on chocolate at Hershey and get a stomachache, you must give 24 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule treatments at Spa at Hershey. And you should do this by calling the spa directly—not over email or through the concierge. Those who try to nix their appointments in less than 24 hours will be slapped with a fee that equals 50 percent the cost of the treatment. If you don’t show up for your appointment at all, the entire cost of the treatment will be charged to your credit card.

The best way to make an appointment at Spa at Hershey is to call the spa directly. You’ll be connected with a spa associate who can look over the schedule with you, answer any questions you may have about the yummy-sounding chocolate-inspired treatments, and help you select and time out the services. If you are a guest at The Hotel Hershey or The Hershey Lodge, you can also schedule an appointment through the concierge desk.
