Here are Melbourne hotels that advertise kids’ clubs, supervised children’s programs, or formal babysitting/childcare options. Many of these run activities seasonally (school holidays) or offer babysitting on request — always confirm dates, age limits and supervision/ drop‑off rules with the hotel before booking.

• Crowne Plaza Melbourne (Docklands / Southern Cross area) — runs a School Holidays “Kids’ Club” program (games, crafts, movies; seasonal schedule). (melbourne.crowneplaza.com)

• Dorsett Melbourne (CBD / Little Lonsdale St) — regular school‑holiday family programs (movie nights, kids’ activity packs, lobby events and seasonal packages). (dorsetthotels.com)

• Crown Hotels (Crown Promenade / Crown Metropol) — family packages and precinct family entertainment; Crown Metropol/Promenade promote pool/play areas and seasonal family offers (children’s movie/entertainment packages).

Practical tips and next steps

• Many Melbourne city hotels run kids’ clubs only during school holidays or special periods — check the hotel’s “school holidays” or “family” pages for exact dates and times. (melbourne.crowneplaza.com)
• If you need supervised drop‑off (childminding), ask whether the hotel operates an in‑house kids’ club with vetted staff or whether they use/ recommend a local babysitting agency (hotels commonly arrange babysitters). If the hotel doesn’t offer drop‑off childcare, there are local agencies that provide hotel babysitters. (babysittersondemand.com.au)
• Confirm age limits, staff:child ratios, costs, operating hours, vaccination/clearance checks for staff, and whether children can be left unattended (some “kids’ clubs” require a parent onsite or supervision). (melbourne.crowneplaza.com)

If you’d like, I can:

• Check availability or current kids‑club dates for specific hotels for particular travel dates; or
• Compare a short list (e.g., 3–5 hotels) for price, location (CBD, Docklands, Southbank), and exact childcare/kids‑club offering.
