Over two weekends—the 28 and 29 March, then the 4, 5 and 6 April 2026—visitors and residents are invited to explore a range of cacao-focused experiences. Between the lobby and the Pimpan restaurant, a free exhibition presents the Easter 2026 collection, showcasing the chocolate pieces in a display that traces the cacao’s journey from bean to bar.

On Saturdays and Sundays from 11:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., the experience continues with on-site chocolate tastings and sales, turning contemplation into temptation.

The weekend of April 5 and 6, kids and adults alike can join a chocolate treasure hunt across the hotel's spaces: the lobby, the restaurant, and, if the weather allows, the rooftop. This hunt unfolds as part of the Easter brunch at Pimpan restaurant.
