Here are Melbourne hotels that advertise family/kids programs or regular family-focused activities — plus notes about how (and when) those programs run so you know what to expect.

1. Crowne Plaza Melbourne (CBD, by Southern Cross) — runs a Kids’ Club during school holidays with daily activities (games, crafts, movie sessions); the hotel also advertises family getaway packages. (Kids’ Club tends to operate on school‑holiday dates rather than year‑round). (melbourne.crowneplaza.com)

2. Crown Melbourne properties (Crown Towers / Crown Promenade / Crown Metropol) — extensive family offers (family packages, in‑room movies, kids’ breakfast, pool facilities and cinema passes). Packages and activities are regularly promoted during school‑holiday seasons. (crownhotels.com.au)

3. Novotel / Accor properties in Melbourne — Accor promotes “family experiences” across its Melbourne hotels and runs family‑friendly programming and offers (Novotel brand often highlights kid activities and family packages). Check the specific Novotel property for an on‑site kids program. (novotel.accor.com)

4. Pan Pacific Melbourne (South Wharf) — markets family‑friendly amenities and publishes local family activity guides; the hotel helps families plan daily outings and offers family‑friendly services (not necessarily a staffed daily kids’ club, so check the property for current in‑house programming). (panpacific.com)

5. Oaks / apartment‑style hotels and some large hotel groups — many Oaks and apartment hotels advertise family packages and lists of kid attractions nearby (useful when you want self‑catering + nearby activities rather than a staffed kids’ club). (oakshotels.com)

Important notes

• Seasonal/school‑holiday timing: In Melbourne most hotel “Kids’ Club” or organised family activities operate during school holiday periods (and may run daily during those windows) rather than as a permanent year‑round supervised program. If you need daily supervised childcare or a kids’ club year‑round, availability is limited — some hotels only offer drop‑in/festival programs or partner with local providers. (melbourne.crowneplaza.com)
• What to check before booking: exact dates/hours of the kids’ program, ages they accept, supervision/safety policy, any additional fees, and whether activities are supervised or parent‑accompanied. Hotel pages and offers (linked above) list details and dates — always confirm directly with the hotel for your travel dates. (melbourne.crowneplaza.com)

• Check which of these hotels have active daily kids’ programs for specific travel dates (please tell me the dates), or
