A luxury arrival to land at White Rose: Hotel Chocolat is coming soon

Chocolate fans in Leeds are in for a cocoa-powered upgrade. The new space in White Rose Shopping Centre will combine a luxury retail store with a dedicated Velvetiser Café, allowing guests to explore cacao in all its forms.

The Velvetiser Café will serve bespoke bakes and cakes inspired by Hotel Chocolat’s most-loved chocolates, designed to pair perfectly with the drinks menu. Guests can choose from 19 core hot drinking chocolate flavours, limited-edition seasonal specials, and six iced drinking chocolates for a refreshing twist, all of which can be served as Choc Shakes. Every drink can be tailored with dairy or plant-based alternatives and finished with a choice of toppings, including the signature Cacao Whip.

Hotel Chocolat will occupy a space facing White Rose’s Central Atrium, close to JD, Clarks, and Rituals.

Steven Foster, Centre Director at White Rose Shopping Centre, said: “Hotel Chocolat is a brilliant addition to the centre, with an extensive range of premium chocolates to browse and a welcoming café for guests to enjoy. It shows great confidence in White Rose that such notable brands continue to join our retail mix, offering even more choice to guests.

“We look forward to sharing an opening date for Hotel Chocolat soon.”

Also commenting on the upcoming opening, Lydia Davies, District Manager at Hotel Chocolat, said: “We’re thrilled to be bringing the Hotel Chocolat store and Velvetiser Café experience to White Rose. Our boutique and café concepts are designed to offer a relaxing, experience-led shopping journey where people can immerse themselves in the world of cacao and enjoy our signature drinks and treats at a leisurely pace.”
