Family Play-cation
On FACT’s most recent stay at Swissôtel Al Ghurair, we were not only enamoured by the family-friendly concepts of the property with its exciting activities but the ability to book bespoke Kids Rooms. These rooms feature a king-sized bed or twin beds and offer special amenities dedicated towards your little princes and princesses. Each kids room is equipped with child-friendly materials, including board games, a DVD player, books, soft toys, special bathroom amenities and bed linen featuring jungle animals.
Enjoy a city break with the family this summer and check-in to spacious Family Rooms that includes one king bed and two twin beds. The stay also includes buffet breakfast and tickets for either Laguna Waterpark or Green Planet for two adults and two children.
Children below six years are eligible to dine for free at any of Swissôtel Al Ghurair’s restaurants, while parents have the chance to indulge in its unique dining offers of the Marco Polo Afternoon Tea, Vitality Lunch, or S.B.G. Weekend Barbecue Buffet.
The fun-filled journey starts from the moment of arrival at the dedicated family check-in desk. ‘Little Explorers’ are then encouraged to embark on a treasure hunt and decipher riddles to help locate cartoon characters that have been carefully placed throughout the hotel and brought to life by the talented grade eight students from the Swiss International School in Dubai. Special rewards await children as they complete the various challenges found inside the playful welcome kit.
Family Play-cation rates start from AED 725 per night. While upgrading to a luxurious Family Suite offers AED 500 food and beverage credit and guaranteed late check-out.
