Expert Review
Origins
Ovolo Southside was Hong Kong's first warehouse-conversion hotel, and that origin is written all over it. The building was an industrial block in Wong Chuk Hang, on the south side of Hong Kong Island, and rather than disguise that past the conversion leans into it: exposed piping and concrete, raw industrial bones, set against bold contemporary design, art and colour. The result is one of the more characterful places to stay in a city full of glossy towers.
It is part of Ovolo, the independent boutique group founded in 2010 by Girish Jhunjhnuwala, known for design-led hotels with a generous, easy-going style — free breakfast, free wifi, a stocked approach to the little things — and a strong art streak. Here that shows in graffiti and installations by local and international artists throughout the public spaces, and in the G.I.G. gallery that takes the place of a conventional lobby, hosting exhibitions, pop-ups and events. The 162 rooms are minimalist and bright, with industrial fixtures, floor-to-ceiling windows and views over the green hills or the city, and there is a restaurant and a well-liked rooftop bar to round things out.
The setting is the other part of the story. Wong Chuk Hang has gone from industrial backwater to one of Hong Kong's most talked-about districts, home to a cluster of contemporary art galleries, breweries and studios, helped along by the South Island Line that put it minutes from the centre. Wong Chuk Hang MTR is a short walk away, reaching Admiralty and Central in minutes, and Ocean Park is on the doorstep. It is not a classic tourist address, and it is the better and more interesting for it — a genuine neighbourhood on the rise, with the hotel at its heart.
Top Secret
Start in the lobby — or what stands in for one. In place of a conventional ground-floor reception, Ovolo Southside has the G.I.G. gallery, a flexible space that hosts art exhibitions, pop-up shops, fashion shows and private parties, so what is going on changes from week to week. Ask at the desk what is on while you are staying; it is the clearest sign that this is a hotel built around art rather than one that simply hangs it on the walls.
The Review
Ovolo Southside is one of Hong Kong's most characterful boutique hotels, and the reason is its bones: this was the city's first warehouse-to-hotel conversion, and the industrial past is celebrated rather than hidden — exposed piping, concrete and raw edges set against bold colour, contemporary design and a serious commitment to art. The G.I.G. gallery in place of a lobby sets the tone, and installations and graffiti run throughout.
The 162 rooms are bright and minimalist, with industrial fixtures, floor-to-ceiling windows and views over the hills or the city; the style is laid-back rather than luxurious, and the Ovolo approach throws in free breakfast, wifi, a 24-hour gym and self-service laundry as standard, which adds up to genuine value. There is a restaurant and a rooftop bar that guests rate highly for the views. Service draws consistent praise, warm and helpful, the kind that makes people return.
Two things to know. The setting, Wong Chuk Hang, is a rising arts district rather than a central tourist base — though the South Island Line puts the centre minutes away — and rooms on the main road can catch traffic noise, so it is worth asking for a quieter one. But for design, art, value and a genuine sense of a Hong Kong neighbourhood on the way up, Ovolo Southside is among the most appealing places to stay on the island, and a refreshing change from the harbour-front giants.
