Winter holidays: proposals with games for children and relaxation for parents

For the upcoming winter holidays, several hotels near Buenos Aires and beyond are offering family-friendly vacation packages designed to cater to both children and parents. These accommodations provide engaging activities for younger guests while allowing adults to unwind with spa treatments and relaxation opportunities. The options range from nearby destinations such as Pilar and La Plata to more distant locations like Zárate, each tailored to suit different preferences and travel styles. The Sheraton Pilar Hotel & Convention Center is one such destination, offering a comprehensive programme during the school break period from July 17 to August 2. Located just 40 minutes from Buenos Aires, this hotel has created a special winter getaway aimed at families. Its “Sheratoons Kids” initiative includes daily activities for children aged six to twelve, guided by trained instructors. Activities include treasure hunts, outdoor games, creative workshops in painting, pottery, collage, and handicrafts, as well as sports challenges and group dynamics exercises. The facility also features indoor spaces equipped with table tennis, metegol, board games, karaoke, and soft play areas for toddlers. Additional attractions include two art points for creating glowing artworks and inflatable play zones suitable for all ages. For older guests, the hotel’s spa offers a range of services including climate-controlled pools, hydrotherapy, dry and wet saunas, cryotherapy pools, and a relaxation room. The hotel also provides package deals for weekdays, weekends, and stays with dinner, along with a “family plan” option accommodating two adults and two children up to twelve years old sharing a room with their parents. In La Plata, the Howard Johnson Plaza Convention Center & Spa presents another appealing choice. This hotel, situated within three and a half hectares of green space, invites visitors to enjoy nature, gourmet dining, and leisure activities. Open from July 20 to August 3, the property offers family plans that allow up to two children under twelve to stay free of charge with their parents. Included in the package are breakfast buffets, access to the spa and heated pool, and a gym. The hotel also provides entertainment for children, featuring an open-air park and a game room with a pool. Guests can opt for all-inclusive meal plans at either El Retiro or Rosella restaurants. Further south, the Days Inn Zárate by Wyndham is offering a three-night stay during the winter holidays. Ideal for those seeking a relaxed yet convenient escape, the hotel provides accommodation with double bedding in king or twin rooms. The “family plan” allows up to two children under ten to share existing furnishings with their parents.
