World Chocolate Day (July 7) may have passed, but many of us indulge in and seek out something sweet to treat ourselves on the regular, especially when traveling. When thinking of luxury hotels, you might first think of the guestrooms and suites, whether the hotel has a spa offering quality treatments or a pool with exceptional views, or even a restaurant with fresh ingredients, but what about the hotel’s most decadent desserts?

As you plan your next trip, consider these hotels with signature and beloved desserts and spoil yourself endlessly.

Handmade Artisan Chocolate Truffles at Cullinan Belek

Situated on the Mediterranean coast of Türkiye, Cullinan Belek impresses guests with its gorgeous-looking and -tasting artisan chocolate truffles made with care in the property’s Chocolaterie Shop. Made fresh daily, guests can try a new truffle flavor for free throughout their stay. Choose from gourmet chocolate-dipped kiwi fruit and strawberries to intricately prepared caramel, vanilla and tropical fruit-flavored truffles with a gooey or crunchy core. When visiting the shop, witness the talented chocolatiers at work.

Chocolate Hour at Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island

At this luxury resort’s boutique MÖCA Lobby Lounge in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, guests can take part in a complimentary chocolate hour every day! The hotel dedicates one hour to an immersive tasting experience featuring delicious Swiss chocolate variations and homemade desserts like truffles, brownies, chocolate fountains and more.

Desserts as Paintings at Kandima Maldives

Kandima turns desserts into masterpieces, creating a multisensory experience for guests. Indulge in the property’s Mango Opera, a dish with layered mango buttercream and chocolate ganache, or, for peanut lovers, opt for the Mascarpone and Peanut Mousse featuring honey-drizzled mango salsa and cocoa soil arranged in the shape of garland.

Chocolate Heaven at Seaside A Lifestyle Resort

Aptly named Chocolate Heaven, one bite and all of your troubles will melt away. Offered at Seaside A Lifestyle Resort, a beautiful property on the Aegean Sea in Crete, this chocolate creation consists of smooth chocolate pan sucre, chocolate crème, marinaded raisins and caramelized cacao nibs. Need we say more?

Chocolate That’s Actually Good for You at Nova Maldives

Also in the Maldives, Nova Maldives offers thoughtful dessert options for guests wanting to both enjoy their dessert and reap the health benefits. The property recently released a plant-based menu featuring desserts with delectable flavors. Try the pandan semifreddo with vegan chantilly cream and dark chocolate shortbread or choose from a wide selection of homemade sorbet and fruit carpaccio. Chocoholics must opt for the signature chocolate lava cake served warm and melting in the middle with that iconic oozing chocolate. The lava cake is offered exclusively in the hotel’s grill house, FLAMES.

Japanese and Peruvian Treats at The Ixian Grand & All Suites

You may be in Greece, but dining at the property’s Muza Htista Restaurant and perusing the dessert menu transports you to Japan and Peru with rich and traditional dishes. The Tejas Truffles are Peruvian-inspired, small chocolate desserts with a smooth filling of chocolate, pecan nuts and dried fruit for an extra crunch. Or take the Japanese route and order fried ice cream, a must-try dessert in which a golden crust covers creamy vanilla ice cream before being topped with chocolate syrup.

Hotel Van Zandt Review

One step onto Austin’s Rainey Street and you’ll feel like you’ve joined the cool kids at the best playground in the city. Just behind the cottage bars, pint-sized skyscrapers soar. One of them, Hotel Van Zandt, the Rainey district's pièce de resistance, beckons with a song-like spirit —apropos because the independently owned property, rife with music motifs, was named after beloved singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt. Sixteen stories high, the hotel embodies Austin’s lust for music, manifesting with a vinyl corner; trumpet chandeliers; myriad musical references; replica vintage posters in frames; and its own live music venue, which doubles as its acclaimed restaurant, Geraldine’s. Don’t miss the mesmerizing installation of colorful origami-like birds composed from vinyl records that flitter from an old phonograph.
