Editorial Review for The Spa at the Hotel Hershey – by Lauren McCutcheon
The Space
The Grand Hotel Hershey opened in the 1930s, back when folks got dressed up to go on vacation. The hotel's country-elegant spa, however, opened decades later, in a time when adult strangers, men and women, no longer had qualms about sitting around a glassed-in aromatherapy room or by the fire in a library lounge, sipping hot chocolate, eating Hershey's kisses - wearing nothing but white cotton robes and rubber slippers.
The Services
Services here sound frivolous--there's the chocolate bean polish, strawberry parfait scrub, whipped cocoa bath, chocolate fondue body wrap, and packages with names like Peppermint Pattie and Hershey Hug--but the agreeable spa therapists take their jobs very seriously, attending to guests' modesty with careful draping--this is central PA, after all--and, in the case of the popular cocoa massage (with cocoa-infused oil instead of plain massage oil) never letting a moment go by without a soothing touch. When it's over, you end up thoroughly spaced-out, and smelling like a semisweet chip.

Insider Tips
Know Before You GoThe spa requires a credit card to make a reservation, and 8 hours' notice for cancellations or changes. Later notice results in a 50% charge. A 20 percent gratuity is automatically added to your bill.
When to GoA 30-minute advance arrival is required for any visit, but come earlier to take advantage of all-day access to steam room, showers, aromatherapy room, lounge--and an unlimited supply of Hershey's kisses.
