Fans of Regency's luxury chocolate hampers may be interested in treating themselves to an innovative indulgent pampering session that incorporates the sweet treat.

Mercure hotel group has come up with a special package that is designed to appeal to all chocolate lovers, the Portsmouth News reports.

Its Chocolate Unwrapped spa treatment has been created to celebrate National Chocolate Week and offers a range of special therapy sessions.

Individuals can book a break at one of Mercure's nine hotels that are offering the package and try out a chocotherapy spa treatment and indulgent choctail and dining experience.

The therapy session involves a chocolate orange back treatment that uses real chocolate and is designed to leave people feeling relaxed and rejuvenated.

Following the pampering, guests can enjoy a special chocolate martini and a three-course meal that is topped off with a Chocboard instead of a traditional cheeseboard.

The package is available at Mercure's hotels in Manchester, Aberdeen, Bolton, Blackburn, Cardiff, Coventry, Sheffield and Shrewsbury.
