Ovolo Hotels has announced the opening of Ovolo Southside, Hong Kong’s maiden warehouse-to-hotel conversion.
Originally designed in 1976, the former multi-use industrial building now features 162 open-plan guestrooms, a fully-equipped 24-hour gym, and a collection of unique social spaces.
Styled for maximum guest convenience and comfort, the hotel offers free breakfast and Happy Hour social drinks daily, alongside free daily replenished in-room minibar, self-service laundry facilities and flexible check out.
Catering to modern tech demands, the hotel also provides free super-speed Wi-Fi for guests in the hotel, as well as access to over 11,000 Wi-Fi hotspots across Hong Kong, whilst a robust AV system includes Apple TV and 3D Smart TVs in every room.
Located within a former industrial building, Ovolo has enlisted a collection of local and international artists to transform the space into an interactive design stage that will showcase contemporary art. This, in addition to its unique design, has earned the property a place in the Design Hotels collection.
Commenting on the inclusion of Ovolo, Claus Sendlinger, Founder of Design Hotels said: “As Hong Kong’s first full-scale warehouse conversion hotel, we see a property that is pushing boundaries – in design and also in location – heralding a new movement in hospitality.
“By choosing Wong Chuk Hang as the location of the property, Ovolo Southside has undoubtedly become intrinsic to the development and rebranding of this once industrial neighbourhood, into a destination for art, culture and fashion.”
