Forget your Hogwarts letter; you can now get your golden ticket and indulge in treats that could only exist by the magic of Willy Wonka’s chocolate factory and its Oompa Loompas.
As part of the 50th anniversary of the Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory film, a dedicated hotel room is opening at none other than the chocolate-inspired Chocolate Box Hotel in Bournemouth, Dorset. Guests enter the room—created in collaboration with hotel reservation platform LateRooms—with a ‘Golden Ticket’ key card, where they’ll further unlock unlimited access to a chocolate fountain, gobstoppers, gumballs, lollipops, and hot chocolate.
Sweets can be restocked upon request, so have your fill. After all, you’ve walked through a portal into a land where calories (probably) don’t exist, and spending a night in the room would set you back £200 (US$277).
Like author Roald Dahl had envisioned for his book, the wallpaper is lickable, too. The hotel will replace it in between visits, so worry not about tasting remnants of the Three-Course Dinner chewing gum left by the previous guest.
The saccharine experience doesn’t stop there. Toiletries are chocolate-scented, while guests can opt to have a chocolate-filled bath drawn for an additional £150 (US$208). Bookings can be made at LateRooms.
