Southside R[evolution]:Ovolo’s Bold Move in Hong Kong—Meet Your New Local

If you thought hotel rebranding was all about slapping on a new logo and calling it a day, think again. Ovolo has gone full throttle with a r[evolution] in Hong Kong, launching Southside by Ovolo—a cheeky new chapter in the city’s first warehouse-turned-hotel saga. Forget the usual fluff; this is where designer luxury meets raw, unfiltered Hong Kong culture, right in the heart of the ever-so-hip Wong Chuk Hang.

This isn't just a facelift; it’s an all-out experience overhaul. Southside by Ovolo isn’t just a place to crash; it’s a playground for those who like their stays with a side of attitude and a dash of rock 'n' roll. Think Rock Star Suites that Freddie Mercury would have approved of—built-in bar, custom art, and views that make you forget you’re just a hop away from Ocean Park and Water World.

Speaking of hops, let’s talk about Flat Iron Deluxe, the new steakhouse that’s thrown its hat into the Southside ring. We're not just talking steaks; we’re talking the best cut you’ve probably never heard of—the Flat Iron—served up alongside club sandwiches that might just change your life. Oh, and did we mention the weekend brunches, cooking classes, and a kids’ menu that’ll make you the hero of family outings? Yup, they’ve got that too.

Now, before you get too comfy, know that this r[evolution] is all about the details. There’s the Wonder Bar, a quirky spot where you can grab a drink, shoot some pool, and even snag curated goodies for your room. And because Ovolo knows how to keep things fresh, they’ve thrown in themed rooms that’ll make the kids go wild—hello, B. Duck! Yep, the beloved Hong Kong character now has his own room, complete with play tents and enough cuteness to melt even the most jaded hearts.

But wait, there’s more. Book direct and you’re in for the Ovolo Standard, which is code for, “We’ve got your back.” Think up to 15% off, flexible cancellations, and even a cheeky free drink during Apero Hour. And because Ovolo likes to keep things moving, they’ve relocated reception to the third floor—no more awkward lobby encounters, just a warm, inviting space that makes check-ins as smooth as your last cocktail (or mocktail, if you’re into that sort of thing).

Southside by Ovolo is also the perfect playground for events, from product launches to rooftop cocktails. With versatile spaces like G.i.G and The Terrace, you’re covered no matter what you’re planning. And let’s not forget the dog-friendly VIPooch experience, because who wouldn’t want to share their staycation with their four-legged bestie?

So, if you’re ready to dive into the Southside R[evolution], pack your bags (and maybe your dog’s too) and get ready to experience Hong Kong like never before. Because this is more than just a hotel—it’s your new local.
