8 Unexpected Experiences at Mövenpick Hotels

Nothing brings people together quite like great food… and when paired with exceptional hospitality and curious creativity, it’s really hard to beat.

Here are 8 ways Mövenpick hotels do ‘ordinary things in an extraordinary way’.

As a European brand, Mövenpick embraces the vibrant culture of cosmopolitan living. So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that Australian and New Zealand Mövenpick hotels are within easy walking distance of the very best city attractions – even becoming destinations in their own right.

Many of the Southern Hemisphere's highest-rated restaurants and food spots surround the Mövenpick Hotel Melbourne on Spencer, while Hobart’s third tallest building – the Mövenpick Hotel Hobart – lets you celebrate the most prized panoramas in town.

From the Mövenpick Hotel Auckland’s CBD waterfront vibe, to the artistic buzz of the Cuba Quarter’s Mövenpick Hotel Wellington, making a Mövenpick Pacific hotel your base is a brilliant way to explore a city.

When the clock strikes chocolate, it’s time to tuck in at Chocolate Hour – a superb example of Mövenpick’s ‘indulgence done right’.

Make your way to the lobby of any  Mövenpick hotel around the world for 60 minutes of delectable chocolate tasting, live chocolate-making and exquisite chocolate artistry, courtesy of Mövenpick’s celebrated chefs.   

Hot tip:
Heading to Hobart? Chocoholics will also fall in love with the Mövenpick Hotel Hobart, where you can practise the art of ‘Chocology’ – afternoon tea with a chocolatey twist at the hotel’s Tesoro Restaurant.

Choose from mouth-watering mini cakes, heavenly tarts, tasty truffles and delicious hot drinks… or perhaps sample one of everything. 

After a busy day exploring the sights, slow things down in Mövenpick’s spectacular wellness zones.

Mövenpick’s modern design philosophy extends from the lobby to the spa, encouraging relaxation at every corner. Communal areas are innovative sustainable spaces that are warm, inviting and approachable, and created especially for human connection.
