ENJOY ALONE TIME WITH YOUR PARTNER
Whether you’ve been married for 20 years or it’s the first few months of a new romance, spending quality time together can be a really exceptional experience.
It’s a chance to unwind, turn off your phones and relax, and there’s nothing better than doing so in a decadent setting, like a Swissôtel Hotels and Resorts property.

What could be more romantic than enjoying a delicious meal of world-class cuisine, with a couple of cocktails of course, to kick start your stay at Swissôtel Sydney
Think about waking up with your loved one in a beautiful room with an incredible view or enjoying a long, relaxing soak in a standalone bathtub. Peace of mind is guaranteed.

TAKE YOUR MUM AWAY FOR HIGH TEA
If your mum organises the entirety of Christmas and asks for nothing in return it’s time to spoil her.
Why not book in for a girls’ night at a hotel and enjoy an extravagant high tea? It’s a chance for you and your mum to really catch up and a way for you to let her know how much she’s cherished.
If you’re booking a weekend treat why not experience one of Sydney’s only buffet high teas, with a lofty view above the city, at the Swissôtel Sydney.
Created by Executive Chef Joshua Askew and hosted on the eighth-floor of the luxurious hotel, this offering includes freshly baked scones, savoury delicacies and mouth-watering desserts, including a chocolate fountain.

If you really feel like celebrating, why not add on a glass of Laurent Perrier champagne too.
Once you’ve eaten and are feeling well and truly relaxed you can continue the evening with a fabulous night’s sleep – giving your mum the opportunity to enjoy a well-deserved rest and a lie in the next morning too.
Perhaps you’d like to make her stay extra special by choosing from the Swissôtel Sydney’s Pillow Menu – guaranteeing a peaceful night’s sleep.
So when your mum says she doesn’t want anything for the umpteenth time this year – you know what to do.
SPOIL YOUR BEST FRIEND AT A SPA

If you’ve got a best friend who lives life in the fast lane, a hotel stay with a gloriously indulgent spa day, could be the intervention they really want, and one they truly need.
Whether it’s a quick revitalising facial and a lazy day by the pool, or a full day of head to toe pampering, your closest friend will be ridiculously thrilled with the gesture of relaxation and peace of mind this Christmas.

A SELF GIFT IS THE BEST GIFT

Sometimes the best gifts are the ones we give to ourselves, and with life more hectic than ever scheduling in some ‘me’ time is more significant than ever before.
