Suites for the sweet.
If it is your child’s dream — or yours — to pay a real-life visit to the Chocolate Factory made famous in Roald Dahl’s novel, here is your chance. On Dec. 15 and 16, the Park Lane New York in conjunction with Booking.com and and Warner Bros. Pictures will offer overnight stays for two pairs of guests in Willy Wonka-themed suites.
Those lucky enough to score a reservation, which will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis beginning at noon on Dec. 13., will enter a fantasy world filled with all-you-can-eat edible creations. Attractions will include Wonka Magic Hat Gummies, life-sized chocolate confections, a replica of the tree found in Wonka’s candy shop in the film, and a chocolate bar bed with pink cotton candy and marshmallow clouds overhead.
During their stay, guests will receive tickets to the film remake Wonka plus souvenirs, among them vintage destination posters and stamp wallpaper inspired by the chocolatier’s travels, and candy-inspired beverages. The package also includes itineraries and airport transfers, where applicable.
Members of Booking.com’s loyalty program, Genius, will receive additional treats, including a free chocolate-infused breakfast.
If you’re wondering what all of this will cost you, be advised you’ll have to shell out all of $12.15 — a nod to the film’s release date.
