Swissôtel Sydney - Luxury hotel - Winter School Holiday Activities in Sydney CBD

Free Winter School Holiday Activities at Swissôtel Sydney

Two weeks of school holidays to fill, a winter chill to escape, and plenty of reasons to visit Swissôtel Sydney.

From 5–17 July, we’ve created a series of complimentary activities for our little VIPs, with sweet treats, creative fun and some very special furry visitors throughout the holidays.

Colour Your Own Bee

Did you know we have our very own beehives on the rooftop?

Throughout the school holiday period, children can collect a bee colouring sheet from the Front Desk and bring their creativity to life. Colour your bee however you like! Once your masterpiece is complete, bring it to Ten Stories Restaurant, and we’ll reward the artist with a complimentary Bee Ice Cream and proudly display their artwork on our Bee Wall for everyone to admire.*

*Bee Ice Cream available with the purchase of a meal.

And while you’re there, why not stay for dinner? Kids Eat Free offer is available at Ten Stories, making family dining easy these school holidays.

2 O’clock Treats

At 2pm on selected days, our Lobby Treat Cart rolls in with complimentary goodies for guests and visitors.

This winter’s sweet line-up includes:

• Freshly Spun Fairy Floss – Sunday 5 July
• Minion Hot Chocolate Station – Tuesday 7 July
• Lolly Cart – Saturday 11 July
• Mini Melts Ice Cream – Thursday 16 July

A little afternoon surprise to make every day feel a little more special.

Dogs in the Lobby

Everyone’s favourite visitors are back.

Our friends from Guide Dogs Sydney will be stopping by for an afternoon of cuddles, pats and heartwarming stories. It’s always a highlight of the school holidays and a wonderful opportunity for children to meet these incredible dogs and learn about the important work they do.

Guide Dogs will be visiting on Monday, 13th July 2026.
