Ovolo Hotels has turned 10! In 2010, the designer hotel collection was born with its first hotel in Hong Kong's West Kowloon to now; having 11 hotels and 8 restaurants across Hong Kong and Australia, with 2 new hotels under construction. Melbourne will welcome its second property with Ovolo South Yarra and its first hotel in Indonesia, Mamaka By Ovolo on Bali's Kuta Beach.

Founder, CEO and entrepreneur Girish Jhunjhnuwala, brings his adventurous, confident, disruptive, creative and fast-paced attitude to business and life. He is an embodiment of Ovolo's vision and has been the driving force behind its success both from aggressive expansion and through connecting with its guests in a meaningful and emotional way.

Ovolo is a collection of contemporary hotels that keep guests connected to the little luxuries guests love, all effortlessly included. They pride themselves on being in touch with the modern traveller through award-winning interior designs, detail-driven comforts, complimentary value-added services like the mini bar, breakfast, Wi-Fi, and more, and cutting-edge technology - all done in signature Ovolo style.

“I started my career in my family's watch-making business and after the tough decision to close it due to the changing times I pursued my passion and dream to own a hotel,” said Girish Jhunjhnuwala. “My vision has always been to do it differently, providing an experience which connect with our guest emotionally through design, art and music and exceptional yet personal service”

Ovolo has always done things 'the Ovolo way' and not accepting the status quo. This has been demonstrated in many ways over the years from its effortless living philosophy to being dog friendly to  innovative restaurant concepts, and most recently being the world's first hotel company to go completely vegetarian across all its hotels and restaurants.”

The mantra which Ovolo embodies has seen it win the hearts of its guests and winning numerous accolades over the years, most recently “Brand of the Year” at the 2019 HM Awards and being the most recognised hotel brand in Australia the 2020 TripAdvisor Travellers Choice Awards.
