A Frozen-inspired High Tea and Luxurious Stay at The Sofitel

Now I am a very deserving mother, really, I work very hard and am highly committed. And exhausted.

One of my deep joys and great treats is to spend a night in luxury, far from Casa Chaos.

The Sofitel Sydney Wentworth kindly had us to stay in one of their Superior Rooms for the night.

The twins are FAR less deserving, but they were invited too.

I told them that they MUST behave…. they didn’t, of course, dreadful bickering, but at least they kept the noise down.

The public spaces at the Sofitel really are very luxurious and serene I’m in love with the French-inspired Garden Court Restaurant with its pineapple wallpaper and beautiful mirrors Arty shot looking up! High teas make a sweet family treat

It’s breakfast time and we tumble out of bed and down in the (very efficient) lift to feast again. The breakfast menu has a decidedly healthy feel, with all sorts of freshly squeezed juices, yoghurts and mini smoothies available, plus all the delights of this five star hotel’s buffet.

The view of the courtyard is lovely, the coffee refreshing. We stayed for ages, nibbling away.

The Sofitel is one of Sydney’s grand hotels and generally has a room rate to match. However, business travel slows over the summer and the prices are often lower.

The hotel is in an EXCELLENT location, just a hop skip and a jump from The Museum of Sydney, The Justice and Police Museum, Circular Quay, the Opera House and the Botanic Gardens.

Its one drawback as a family hotel is that it has no swimming pool.

NB The beds at the Sofitel have the SOFTEST and BEST mattress toppers. It was hard to drag myself out of bed…. a joy to collapse on.

Thank you so much for hosting us, kind folks at the Sofitel Sydney Wentworth. This mum was tired at the end of a long school year and was fortified by your luxe hospitality.
