With a challenging year that saw many family get-togethers and special moments limited by lockdowns and restrictions, there could be no better time than to transform gifts into memories, giving mum some much needed 'me' time or the opportunity to reconnect with family and friends.
IHG Hotels & Resorts has released a series of immersive accommodation and dining packages designed to cater for mums – from a cultural connection in Canberra to an active escape in Queenstown, or a sophisticated high tea at Brisbane's ultra-chic Hotel X. Plus, each offer comes backed with IHG's cleanliness and flexibility assurance so mum can travel with confidence.
Take some time out together and celebrate Mother's Day with the masters at Botticelli to Van Gogh: Masterpieces from the National Gallery, London. This exhibition draws exclusively from one of the greatest collections of European paintings in the world, many never before seen in Australia.
