Always expect the unexpected at quirky Ovolo Hotels

Style, superb service, and a smorgasbord of surprises are always on the itinerary at Ovolo hotels. And if you didn’t know already, everyone at Ovolo is a fan of the F word.  

 

Stepping into an Ovolo hotel is to enter a world where colour, quirkiness, and being different is celebrated. All Ovolo hotels in Australia merge style with top-notch hospitality with an edginess that can’t be replicated.

Take Ovolo Woolloomooloo in Sydney, for example. Set within a century-old wharf, it perfectly blends heritage with modernity. The timber beams and industrial-chic interiors make it feel like an artist’s loft, while the vibrant lounge invites guests to unwind with complimentary drinks and snacks. Whether you’re a business traveller looking for a seamless stay or a couple craving a quirky getaway, Woolloomooloo delivers with harbor views, plush rooms, and personalised hospitality. Pooches are welcomed with open arms and treats.

Over in Melbourne, Ovolo Laneways pays homage to the city’s famed street culture. Tucked away in graffiti-covered alleyways, it amplifies Melbourne’s quirky nature. Bright pops of neon, playful art, and Memphis-inspired ‘80s design make it an Instagrammer’s dream.

Ovolo South Yarra is where retro-chic meets rockstar cool in the heart of one of Melbourne’s trendiest suburbs. Disco-glam and bold design abounds. From the plush velvet lounges, funky neon signs, and a soundtrack that oozes effortless cool, here the rebellious spirit of the ‘60s and ‘70s is like a love letter to music, pop culture, and old-school charm.

Ovolo The Valley in Brisbane takes inspiration from Fortitude Valley’s pulsating energy. Music, art, and fashion are entwined in a kaleidoscope of colours and textures, from leopard-print furniture to wall murals bursting with attitude. The V.I. Pooch package means that your four-legged companion will be as pampered as you are.

Whether you’re an art and designer lover, foodie, or simply someone who appreciates the unexpected, Nishi in Canberra offers guests a stay that’s as fun as it is thoughtful. The avant-garde building is a striking architectural statement, featuring reclaimed timber, textured concrete, and a moody, warm ambiance that feels both artistic and inviting.

Ovolo isn’t just about eye-catching aesthetics – sustainability is a core focus of the group. From plant-based dining initiatives to eco-friendly practices that minimise waste, there’s always a thoughtful approach to being green, and staff embody the ‘shiny, happy people’ ethos—genuinely warm, effortlessly cool, and always ready to make your stay unforgettable.

Part of how they do that, is by embracing the F word: free! Ovolo prides itself on the “Perks”, which means a free self-serve laundry service,  all-day snacks and sweets, and Apero Hour drinks and nibbles for those who book direct. Don’t forget to check out the in-room Wonderbar and the gym when visiting, too.

At Ovolo, ‘never boring’ isn’t a tagline. It’s a way of life that you’ll fall head over heels for.
