You are planning a holiday to Australia. You have been given the name and address of a hotel in the centre of Sydney and would like further information. Write a letter to the hotel. Ask about the availability of the rooms and the hotel’s facilities. Find out if the hotel arranges day trips and ask them to send you a brochure.

Dear Sir/Madam, My family and I are planning to visit Sydney next month and our friends, Jason and Annabelle, suggested your wonderful boutique hotel for accommodation. I was wondering if you could provide me some information about your establishment. To give you an idea, we will be three in total: my husband, me, and our ten-year-old daughter. Could you please tell me about the type of rooms you offer at your hotel and the number of guests they can accommodate? What are the other on-site facilities that you offer? Our daughter loves swimming, as do we, so I would like to know if you have a children’s pool as well as a swimming pool for adults on the premises. Do you also serve a buffet breakfast and is it included in the room rate? My husband and I are looking forward to having a couple’s massage, so I want to know if you offer that kind of service at your hotel. We are also planning to take a few day trips to nearby towns during our stay in Sydney. Do you have any group tours or excursions that might be family-friendly and not too demanding? We are not really interested in hiking but would love to check out nearby towns and get involved in some local activities and festivals. I would appreciate it if you could send me a brochure detailing the abovementioned information on my email address. I would be looking forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Rose
