Over two weekends - the March 28 and 29, then April 4, 5 and 6, 2026 - visitors and locals are invited to discover a range of cacao-themed experiences. Between the lobby and the Pimpan restaurant, a free exhibition presents the Easter Collection 2026, highlighting the chocolate pieces in a display that traces the cacao's journey—from bean to bar.

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

Over the weekend of April 5 and 6, young and old alike can take part in a chocolate treasure hunt across the hotel's spaces: the lobby, the restaurant and, weather permitting, the rooftop. The hunt is staged as part of the Easter brunch at Restaurant Pimpan.
