1. Location, location, location

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.

2. Choc o’clock

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.
