MeltSpa is the Newest Sweet Spot in Hershey, PA

This post was written in partnership with MeltSpa by Hershey. Services were received in exchange for my honest opinions.

I almost feel disloyal writing this, because the Spa at The Hotel Hershey is one of my very favorite places on Earth. For real. Mother’s Day, wedding prep, a simple “treat yo’self” afternoon – no matter the occasion, if someone were to ask me my ultimate destination for indulgence, I’d head straight to the Chocolate Spa. But now, there’s another spa in The Sweetest Place on Earth: MeltSpa by Hershey, located right on Chocolate Avenue in Hershey, PA. At first, I really didn’t understand why Hershey needed another destination for seasonal body scrubs, Sweet Feet pedicures and cocoa immersion experiences. But after my visit, I get it. I’m happy to report that it’s just like having more than one child – you can love them both equally!

While the Chocolate Spa at The Hotel Hershey is considered a resort spa, with amenities that allow you to truly luxuriate and bask in the chocolatey experience all day long, MeltSpa by Hershey is a day spa. It’s designed to fit your busy schedule with easy scheduling of one or more appointments, so you can pop in and out as needed. But that’s not to say you can’t soak it in as long as you want, if time allows. You’re perfectly welcome to arrive early and stay late to relax in their comfy, quiet lounge with coffee, tea, fruit, and lots of Hershey’s chocolate.

Treatments vary from those at the Chocolate Spa, too. MeltSpa has some unique exclusive treatments that you can’t get anywhere else, including Hershey’s Dark Chocolate Treatments. I had the Dark Chocolate Body Scrub and pedi, and I can attest to the fact that there is no better feeling that being quite that pampered, with no calories to feel guilty about!

The Circadia facial line (used in some of the spa’s services) is also exclusively offered at MeltSpa. It’s worth noting that you shouldn’t count MeltSpa out if chocolate isn’t your thing. There are lots of services and treatments available on their menu that are not chocolate-scented.

See the entire MeltSpa menu here.

The biggest question I’ve been asked about MeltSpa is whether the price points are lower than those at The Spa at the Hotel Hershey. I’m happy to report that yes, you’ll find a lower rate for services at the elegant, but more casual, MeltSpa.

What to Expect at MeltSpa

The first thing that happens when you arrive at MeltSpa, after you fill out some quick paperwork, is a visit to the locker room. A signature chocolate brown robe will be waiting in your locker, and you can program a code in to keep your belongings secure during your visit. What happens next will depend on the services you choose from their full salon menu, but you really can’t go wrong. Every single thing in the spa sparkles! It’s all so clean, modern and sleek, yet not at all intimidating. It’s comfortable quality, just like all of Hershey’s official destinations. And the service is second to none. Every person I met during my visit was courteous, friendly, and helpful. One even went the extra mile to keep me from getting a parking ticket! (If you park out front, be sure to back in.)

At the end of your services, you can retreat to the locker room again where you’ll find beautiful tiled showers with rainfall showerheads, Hershey’s hair and skin products, and any other amenity you could possibly need. Meeting friends after? No problem. Take your time and get as gorgeous as you feel! (Or, you could always schedule a blowout in the salon.)

Here’s a quick peek at a pedi massage chair, which was nothing short of heaven. A pedi and massage at the same time? How quickly can I visit again?

I was a tiny bit apprehensive about the body scrub, as this is an unclothed service. But my self-consciousness was unwarranted. There’s no reason to fret if you’re even thinking that way – my technician was extremely professional, and had keeping me covered down to a science. There wasn’t one moment that made me feel uncomfortable. I don’t have any photos from that room (privacy, please!) but I did snap one quick pic before I headed off to the Relaxation Room.

I’m going to take a leap here and assume that you’ll fall in love with the spa products used in your service. The good news: you can purchase them! You’ll find all the products at MeltSpa, and you definitely won’t find them anywhere else, so grab them while you’re there! I got the Dark Chocolate Body Lotion with citrus and vetiver, and it hasn’t left my bag since. It’s positively dreamy, and the perfect pick-me-up at the office every afternoon. I need to pick up another bottle for my bathroom!

I’ll be headed to MeltSpa by Hershey again soon, since I can schedule it easily and do some other work in Hershey while I’m there. Did I mention they’re open 7 days a week, including evenings? As if that weren’t enough, if you book now, you can even save some serious money on your visit. (I think this calls for a package!)
