The newly refurbished Ovolo Hotel in the 100-year old Finger Wharf at Woolloomooloo, capitalizes on the brilliant harbourside setting and cosmopolitan surrounds transforming the historic wharf into a place that guests can truly appreciate.
Alland Group are immensely proud of our association with Shape Australia and the work completed at Ovolo. Alland Group carried out a Design and Construct package updating the heritage building to 21st century technology incorporating LED Lighting, Lighting Control, power reticulation, switchboard upgrades, surge protection, specialist lighting, monitored emergency and exit lighting.
Hotel spaces are divided into small zones and intimate pavilions using the heritage buildings considerable structural elegance to advantage. Pockets of sunlight and tree-filled spaces within the pavilions encourage a variety of uses, that entice people to visit and linger.
Buzzy bars, restaurants and retail options are great for local residents and hotel guests alike. Inside, the elegant public spaces and fresh colour scheme contrast with the atmospheric guest rooms. The guest rooms are truly unique, boasting generous in-room inclusions, custom lighting and locally commissioned artworks.
Ovolo responds to guests needs with the right mix of technology and amenities. The most striking transformation is in the cavernous lobby, which has become a tree-lined lane way of lounges, bars and dining areas – a kind of grown-up playground, with three retro video-game tables, featuring Space Invaders and a Pool Room.
