HOTEL CHOCOLAT PARTNERS WITH DELIVEROO TO BRING CHOCOLATE GIFTING ON DEMAND

London, 9th September 2026: Hotel Chocolat has partnered with Deliveroo to bring chocolate gifting on demand, giving customers a new way to send considered chocolate gifts when the moment calls for it.

Launching initially with five Hotel Chocolat locations - Manchester Cross Street, Chiswick, Staines, St James's and Wimbledon - customers will be able to order a curated selection of Hotel Chocolat products directly through Deliveroo.

For more than two decades, Hotel Chocolat has continued to challenge what a chocolate gift can be. Combining its deep knowledge of cacao with original recipes, distinctive flavours and considered presentation, the chocolatier has built its gifting range around helping customers find something that feels personal to the recipient.

The new exclusive partnership marks the latest evolution of that approach. By bringing Hotel Chocolat to Deliveroo, customers can turn the thought of someone into a meaningful gesture when the moment arises: whether celebrating good news, saying thank you, marking a birthday, bringing something special to a host or simply showing someone they're being thought of.

The range brings together some of Hotel Chocolat's most distinctive gifting propositions. Customers will be able to shop the Velvetiser®, Hotel Chocolat's new boxed selections, its signature selectors, and Velvetised Creams.

The partnership responds to clear consumer demand, with searches on the Deliveroo app for ‘Hotel Chocolat’ up by more than 40% in the year to June 2026, compared to the 12 months prior.

The launch comes as Hotel Chocolat prepares for the biggest gifting period of the year, with Christmas gifting, including Advent calendars and stocking fillers, set to join the Deliveroo range later this year.

Carrie Martin, UK General Manager at Hotel Chocolat said: “Thoughtful gifting has always been at the heart of Hotel Chocolat, and we're constantly looking at how we can make it easier for customers to mark the moments that matter.

Partnering with Deliveroo gives customers a completely new way to access and send Hotel Chocolat gifts: combining the quality and originality they expect from us with greater choice and flexibility. It’s an exciting next step in how we’re growing the brand and meeting customers where they want to shop.”

Suzy McClintock, VP Consumer at Deliveroo, said: “We are building a new destination for gifting at Deliveroo. Customers are no longer using our platform just to shop for themselves but to send something special to a loved one, whether for Valentine’s Day, Christmas, a birthday and more. As a true gifting specialist, Hotel Chocolat brings real brand authority and category expertise to our retail offer, and we are excited to help them reach more consumers who are on a mission to find a meaningful last-minute gift.”
