The new deal will help designer hotel collection Ovolo Hotels lean on Small Luxury Hotels of the World’s global sales, distribution and marketing platforms across the Asia-Pacific region and through the rest of the world.

Small Luxury Hotels of the World (SLH) is a collection of more than 500 independent hotels in more than 90 countries.

“We are thrilled to partner with Small Luxury Hotels of the World, a brand synonymous with independently spirited hotels and excellence,” says Ovolo Hotels CEO Dave Baswal.

“This strategic alliance not only strengthens our presence across key global markets but allows us to showcase the distinct character and innovation that defines Ovolo, while remaining independently owned and operated.

“We look forward to connecting with more travellers in our region and beyond.”

The current Ovolo portfolio includes Ovolo Woolloomooloo (Sydney), Ovolo South Yarra (Melbourne), Ovolo The Valley (Brisbane), Ovolo Nishi (Canberra – pictured, above), Ovolo Central (Hong Kong), Laneways by Ovolo (Melbourne) and Mamaka by Ovolo (Bali).

Each Ovolo property represents thoughtful design, technological integration and a commitment to sustainability.

“The global alliance with Ovolo Hotels brings exciting prospects and elevates SLH’s presence in Australia,” says Mark Wong, senior vice president, Asia Pacific, Small Luxury Hotels of the World.

“The unique character of each Ovolo property, along with a high standard of excellence, will fit perfectly with our existing independently minded SLH member hotels.”
