This iconic 160 room warehouse conversion hotel with an art-industrial edge features an innovative restaurant and lounge, premium meeting and event spaces, and a stunning rooftop cocktail bar overlooking the vast surroundings of Hong Kong’s Southside.

HONG KONG
Warehouse to wanderlust with an edgy Rock ‘n’ Roll vibe. Ovolo Southside does everything with style, including funky industrial fittings and panoramic views over to Deep Water Bay.
Komune is open all day for you to beat that pesky hunger! But before we dig in, we drink up – B&F is how we roll, with coffee beans flown in from Australia, and signature cocktails hand-crafted by our Cocktail Professors! Dine beside the kitchen to see the chefs at work, or simply savour their creations on our colourful outdoor terrace.
The first truly elevated rooftop cocktail bar on the city’s southern coastline has been reinvented as a modern day-to-night venue. It is designed for drinks and dining just as much as an events space for business meetings, inspiring brainstorming sessions, private celebrations and parties.
TQM Taqueria is the second home for Te Quiero Mucho, located on the 3rd floor of Ovolo Southside. Staying true to its Central flagship but offering a more relaxed and casual setting, TQM Taqueria showcases fabulously authentic bites with a focus on tacos, burritos and tortas with mouthwatering original flavours from Guadalajara, Mexico.
The space is inspired by Mexican street culture – full of rich colour, art and the enticing smell of delicious food around every corner. Taking design inspiration from the taco trucks of downtown LA and constructed out of a recycled shipping container, TQM Taqueria is playfully decorated with vintage Mexican adverts and bold street art graphics. The seating features an eclectic collection of vintage furniture and vivid colours, and is covered by a colourful ceiling and strings of fairy lights, giving the space a real, urban vibe.

Top of the crop They have nailed the experience. Cool bar, excellent restaurant, big well-designed rooms. This is the best hotel we have stayed at in years. Highly recommend.
Deserves its high ratings! What can I say? This is near the perfect hotel! Absolutely gorgeous styling and architecture, the bed is so darn comfy (please tell me what it is!), the freebies are amaaaaaaaazing...it’s just a wonderful experience. Best of all, the staff are absolute legends and they’re all so genuinely warm, friendly and helpful. I’m well trained in customer service myself so I have to give you full props for training and retaining such excellent, happy staff. It’s pure perfection.
What a gem “What a magical place this is. From the moment you step into the foyer you know you are in for a treat. Service is fantastic- especially Simone who went over and above to help and make our stay enjoyable. Location is wonderful with many restaurants nearby and close proximity to Potts Point. All the freebies are a lovely touch - especially happy hour sitting around the fireplace. I have no hesitation on recommending a stay in this funky spacious hotel. We will be back!”

Alibi boasts an extensive, sustainably focused wine list; however it’s the theatrical cocktails at the bar that steal the show. A selection of fruits, vegetables and botanicals are mixed, shaken and stirred with molecular techniques and spectacular presentation to stand out within a sea of greens.

The beds are made from reclaimed oak, while the walls combine concrete, cork, earthen clay and natural fibre wallpapers, constructed as a re-imagination of the textures and layers of an Australian shack with a landscape expressed through raw materials. 34 of Ovolo Nishi’s rooms overlook the lake or bush, while the remaining rooms look onto the spectacular atrium, filled with native Australian flora.
Award-winning Monster Kitchen & Bar is the much loved in-house restaurant that features sharing plates created from local and seasonal produce, marrying classic French brasserie with Asian rooted flavours; modern techniques yield an innovative approach to the Canberra dining scene.

GIRISH J FOUNDER AND CEO
Girish Jhunjhnuwala (or ‘Girish.J’ if that’s easier to remember) is the man behind Ovolo Group. He’s a disruptor, game-changer, adventurer, Negroni enthusiast and entrepreneur. Growing up in the 80’s, Girish.J was inspired by rock legends of the time – none more so than David Bowie. He admired Bowie’s music, his continuous self-reinvention as an artist, his ability to adapt to the times and take his fans on the journey with him. So when Girish.J began his path in the hotel industry in his home city of Hong Kong, he used Bowie as inspiration, applying his sharp business mind, innovative vision, and eye for opportunities to create a hotel where he personally would love to stay. In 2010, with free mini bar, free Social Hour, free breakfast, free lollies and his very own Radio Ovolo, all served in bright, bold and fabulous surrounds – Ovolo Hotels was born! In just under 10 years, Ovolo Group has grown to four hotels in Hong Kong and six hotels in Canberra, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane in Australia, along with seven distinctly unique bars and restaurants. There are more hotels, bars and restaurants to come in 2020, with Girish.J taking Ovolo’s effortless living ethos, seamless guest experience and superstar team members to Bali. Watch this space!
