Family essentials
The details that usually make or break a family stay, split by what the hotel has published and what is still worth a quick email before booking.
Confirmed on the hotel's own sources
-
Babysitting and child minding
The family page highlights babysitting plus concierge support for family itineraries, which is useful when parents want a city stay that can flex beyond a single rigid sightseeing plan.
-
Pools and water play
The heated pool gives families a simple reset option between harbour sightseeing and dinner rather than relying on the room alone for downtime.
-
Family rooms and suites
Four Seasons explicitly positions its one-bedroom suites as a strong match for families who want a separate bedroom and lounge layout instead of everyone winding down in one room.
-
Baby gear and cots
Four Seasons says children receive child-size bathrobes, slippers, toiletries, a plush koala, and other welcome touches that make the room feel intentionally family-ready instead of merely child-tolerant.
Worth asking before you book

Kids club
Ages the kids club covers, session times, and whether it is included in the rate.

-

Ages on the kids-eat-free policy and which restaurants on site run a kids menu.

Bath versus shower in room

A strong family base for attractions, indoor options, and easy flat walking with younger children.
