Planning a holiday for the family can be even more rewarding than a romantic getaway for two. Swissotel Hotels & Resorts welcomes families to enjoy a host of activities at its hotels that will engage children of all ages. Guests staying at the hotels can also explore its Kids Room concept, which offers a selection of age-relevant toys, games, decorations and dining options.

Swissotel Goa, India, which opened in March 2013 is the group’s latest property and first resort in India. Situated near the popular Calangute Beach, the resort is also within a few minutes’ walk to the most important dining and entertainment area in North Goa. Boasting of 135 contemporary rooms set amidst a charming tropical garden and pool, Swissotel Goa is a perfect retreat for families. Children will enjoy the kid’s club which has a variety of games and activities suitable for children aged between 4 to 14 years old. Guests travelling with children for a minimum of two nights can enjoy the resort’s Irresistible Package.

Sunday Brunch at the Wohnstube at Swissotel Dresden, Germany offers not just a delectable spread of Swiss cuisine for adults from Swiss fondue to Quarkkeulchen pancakes. Traditional dishes that feature names such as Mama’s Sandwich Box (Muttis Brotbüchse) or The Mole’s Molehill (der kleine Maulwurfshügel) are favourites with the younger guests, and are just some of the many interesting dishes that are also available in the in-room dining menu. Parents also have the option to enjoy their Sunday Brunch while the children spend some time at the Kids Lounge. There are a range of activities including a handicraft section to delight the children, while they are supervised by qualified caretakers.

Swissotel Grand Efes Izmir is set in 12,000m² of landscaped gardens with spectacular views of the Kordon on the Aegean Sea. Guests can retreat from the hectic city with the Family Package designed for a relaxing getaway. The package offers guests complimentary accommodation in the Family Room for children under the age of 12, a half-day city tour that will include the Railway Museum, Ataturk Museum, Toy Museum visits and a guide service.

The tallest building in the city, Swissotel Tallinn, Estonia, is minutes away from the restored town and main entertainment, cultural and shopping district. Every Sunday, brunch at Café Swiss is dedicated to the children, with a selection of food designed for them. Apart from the mini hotdogs, mini burgers and chicken skewers that they can enjoy, one of the highlights is for the children to decorate their ice-cream with help from the chefs. Stations for handicrafts and drawings as well as entertainers and clowns help to keep the children engaged.

At other Swissotel properties around the world, guests will also be pleased to find that the Kids Room concept provides a range of services designed for the family. Tailored for three different age groups - babies, children and teenagers – guests can find cuddly toys, cartoons, board games, books or Nintendo Wiis set up in their rooms. Guests with younger children can also request for cribs, strollers, baby high chairs, portable baby monitors and cheerful brightly-coloured bed linen. For added convenience, the Kids Room can be connected directly or adjacent to the adults’ rooms and baby-sitting services can be arranged upon request.
