Ovolo

Hilton has bolstered its portfolio of luxury hotel experiences with the addition this week of 390 boutique properties through its partnership with Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) collection, announced in February. Last week at ILTM Asia Pacific in Singapore, Mark Wong, SVP Asia Pacific for SLH hinted that the next step in the new alliance with Hilton was imminent.

Boutique designer hotel collection, Ovolo Hotels, has confirmed Dave Baswal, Chief Executive Officer, will be stepping down from the position at the end of September.

Ovolo Hotels has offered its first glimpses of Ovolo South Yarra which will open on 8 April 2021. Ovolo South Yarra will feature 123 rooms ranging from micro-hotel rooms to “Rockstar Suites”. Taking its design cues from the days of disco, rock gods and retro glamour, the vibe is bold, creative and unpredictable.

Ovolo Group has revealed the name of its first property in Bali will be Mamaka by Ovolo. The Hong Kong-based hotelier acquired the Citadines Kuta Bali Beach in late 2019, this week confirming its intention to transform the contemporary property into an “urban resort”.

The Ovolo Group has announced the purchase of the Citadines Kuta Beach Bali, the group’s first property outside of Hong Kong and Australia, representing its vision to become a truly global hospitality company. The 194-room property consists of 182 studio rooms, nine one-bedroom suites and three two-bedroom suites, an all-day dining restaurant, a rooftop pool and bar, a gym and conferencing facilities.
