Department store retailer Harrods has officially opened its new Chocolate Hall as it marks 150 years of chocolate making.
The opening marks the end of a four-year restoration scheme of its food halls. The new Chocolate Hall is positioned within Harrods’ Knightsbridge flagship site and offers guests high-end chocolates that have been ethically and sustainably sourced, live demonstrations from on-site chocolatiers, and products from confectionary partners and brands from around the world.
The launch marks a major milestone in the luxury retailer’s overall masterplan for its flagship site, which in total will see an overall £300M investment to refurbish much of the one million square foot Knightsbridge site.
“The opening of our redeveloped chocolate halls is a hugely special moment for us,” Harrods managing director Michael Ward said. “It is the final stage in our ambitious investment and redesign of our historic food halls – a project that has continued with passion and drive despite the challenges of the last year. It is also a perfect demonstration of what Harrods does best: harnessing the greatest strengths from our heritage while re-imaging luxury for a modern customer.”
