Luxury Hotel Brand Raises the Bar in Food & Beverage with Decadent Hot Chocolate
IRVING, TX (November 13, 2007) -- Starting this chilly season, feel the warmth of Omni Hotels’ hospitality with a steaming cup of rich hot chocolate with gourmet-flavored marshmallows and other toppings. Omni Hotels has launched its new premium artisanal hot chocolate program featuring Chuao Chocolatier Venezuelan-style hot chocolate, in Abuela (traditional) or Spicy Mayan flavors, served with a choice of toppings including fresh whipped cream, chocolate shavings, graham cracker crumbs or flavored Plush Puffs homemade gourmet marshmallows. Or, guests can make it an adult hot chocolate with a shot of liquor. Chuao hot chocolate and its tasty accompaniments will be available throughout the winter season and beyond in all Omni Hotels’ restaurants, bars, lounges and in-room dining. Food & Beverage leaders at Omni Hotels’ signature restaurants in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York will heighten the experience even more with one-of-a-kind adult gourmet hot chocolate beverages, unique to each locale.
“We are delighted to offer unparalleled hot chocolate to add to our high level of culinary offerings,” said Stephen Rosenstock, senior vice president for food & beverage at Omni Hotels. “Like our other partnerships, our relationship with Chuao Chocolatier is part of our ongoing efforts to create unique, memorable and delectable experiences for our guests. Chuao Chocolatier hot chocolate is nothing like the typical watery cocoa. It’s a rich, decadent and delicious experience to make any chocoholic swoon.”
Omni endured endless blind taste testing to find the most rich, silky and flavorful hot chocolate for their guests’ sensory experience. Chuao Chocolatier came out as the winner for the best tasting hot chocolate and Plush Puffs Gourmet Marshmallows as the number one accompaniment. The hot chocolate will be served in a special mug and two-pod dish with the choice of two toppings.
Chuao Chocolatier uses highly-prized Venezuelan chocolate and fresh natural ingredients in their hot chocolate. Unusual flavor combinations are the heart of Chuao Chocolatier’s unique experience. Tasting Chuao Chocolatier chocolate is an experience that goes beyond just eating chocolate. It is a sensory experience that arouses unusual, unexpected and delicious taste sensations.
As a special treat in select Omni markets in Los Angeles, Chicago and New York, star chefs Glenn Ishii at Noé, Daven Wardynski at 676 and Sam DeMarco at Fireside (all part of the Omni Signature Restaurant Collection) further the hot chocolate program to create exclusive adult hot chocolate creations. Omni Hotels is also offering “Mommy and Me” hot chocolate parties in these destinations. Mothers, daughters and their dolls can enjoy an afternoon together and have a hot chocolate party complete with doll-sized cups.
