Six ways to enjoy Christmas at the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Sydney

The Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Sydney is well known for their exquisite “sparkling” decorations during the Christmas period. This year the hotel is receiving a wide range of new decorations being displayed in the main lobby and all around the hotel. And of course, the festive season would not be complete without a visit on Christmas day from Santa Claus. Guests can share and enjoy their own special moment with Santa, amongst the 5-star decorations. Photographs with Santa are welcome, to help spread the Christmas cheer. 

After a long day of Christmas shopping in Sydney, stay a night with the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Sydney by booking 'Rock the Season Package' and save up to 30% off the best available rate. Conveniently located in the CBD, guests can unwind in a newly renovated spacious room while enjoying the festive atmosphere of Sydney.

While staying at the Radisson Blu Plaza Hotel Sydney or just looking for a special Christmas dinner idea, enjoy a four-course Christmas Night Dinner in the Lady Fairfax Room.  Festive dinner will include stuffed turkey ballotine with brussel sprouts, potato bake and of course the traditional Christmas pudding. Alternative options include herb crusted beef roast, with horseradish cream, roast gravy with chat potatoes, or glazed cinnamon pork loin, crackling with baby carrots, and apple cider jus. Dessert alternatives include a mango, strawberry and poppy seed torte with sugar pearls.  

Renowned in Sydney for its wide variety of High Teas, a Festive High Tea will be served in the Fax Bar from mid-November to 8 January, 2018. The menu offers a range of sweet and savoury delights, which will include roast turkey and ham and cheese sandwiches, Christmas chocolate mousse and Christmas fruit mince pies. For an extra seasonal touch, the menu also includes handmade sugar Christmas figures like Snowmen, Santa and Christmas trees.

While enjoying the Festive High Tea at the Fax Bar, try our new signature Christmas Cocktail – 'Ginger Bread Martini' featuring a combination of exciting ingredients including Archie Rose Vodka, Baileys, house made gingerbread syrup with a touch of cream and marshmallows. This signature martini was specially blended by Head Barman Mil Licenita and will be on offer for guests to enjoy throughout the festive season.
