Brisbane’s newest hotel will open as ‘Ovolo The Valley’ in November. The 103-room project by acclaimed global architecture firm Woods Bagot, the award-winning designers behind the revitalisation of Brisbane’s Howard Smith Wharves and The Ivy in Sydney, will take the former Emporium hotel into the new era with a hotel theme inspired by the eclectic culture and iconic history of Fortitude Valley.
The interior design for the new Ovolo hotel’s 103 rooms focuses on creating a whimsical oasis for guests, replete with playful and colourful elements and commissioned art pieces, including custom wallpaper and eccentric furniture and illustrations.
Ovolo’s effortless living ethos is no stranger at The Valley, with 24-hour room service, large, flat-screen televisions, Google Chromecast, additional wall plugs, phone chargers in rooms, and Amazon’s Alexa cloud-based voice service will be able to assist guests with just about every command. Ovolo The Valley, like the group’s other hotels, will be a home-away-from-home for business travellers to Brisbane.
A rooftop swimming pool, gym, sauna, meeting rooms, and Ovolo’s signature standard inclusions – free breakfast, free WiFi, free in-room mini bar, free laundry and free happy hour drinks daily – make The Valley the ultimate luxury hotel experience.
While Ovolo The Valley will open next month, work by Woods Bagot in collaboration with former Brisbanite, Chloe Want from AvroKO in New York will continue on the hotel’s standalone restaurant and bar concept to open on the ground level of the property early next year.
“There are many newcomers to the Brisbane hotel market, but Ovolo’s biggest point of difference is our exceptional customer service and design,” says Ovolo Group CEO and chairman Girish Jhunjhnuwala. “We strive to exceed expectations and our rankings and customer feedback says it all. We are confident Ovolo The Valley will be a market leader for Brisbane in the near future.”
