Wyndham-Ovolo deal adds five Ovolo hotels to the Wyndham network
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has inked a strategic partnership with Hong Kong-based lifestyle hospitality company Ovolo Group to bring five Ovolo hotels to the Wyndham network later this fall. The hotels are the Ovolo Central in Hong Kong plus four Australian properties: the Ovolo Nishi in Canberra, Ovolo South Yarra in Melbourne, Ovolo The Valley in Brisbane and Ovolo Woolloomooloo in Sydney. All five will be integrated into Wyndham's sales, marketing and distribution platforms and join the Wyndham Rewards loyalty program, which grants them access to roughly 120 million members. Wyndham said that the Ovolo Group will continue to own and manage the Ovolo brand while working with Wyndham "to unlock additional development opportunities throughout Asia Pacific." Ovolo Group launched its upscale Ovolo Hotels concept in 2010, billing it as a design-focused and experiential boutique brand. "Through our partnership with Wyndham, we're flipping the script to unlock bold new growth opportunities by franchising a lifestyle brand without diluting its DNA," said Ovolo Group chief of staff Shivang Jhunjhnuwala, adding that Wyndham's support will help the brand "grow with intention and impact."

Wyndham to expand network with addition of five Ovolo hotels
Wyndham Hotels & Resorts has forged an alliance with lifestyle hotel pioneer Ovolo Group. This collaboration will add five Ovolo hotels in Australia and Hong Kong to the Wyndham brand later in the year. The agreement allows Ovolo Group to retain ownership and management of their properties while leveraging Wyndham's network to expand development opportunities across the Asia Pacific region. More than 450 rooms from existing Ovolo hotels in Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne, and Hong Kong are slated to integrate into Wyndham's portfolio. Ovolo Group chief of staff Shivang Jhunjhnuwala said: 'Ovolo isn't just a hotel brand, it's a lifestyle, a creative force that fuses fashion, art, music and entertainment. Since 2010, we've built a bold, culture-led brand that disrupts the cookie-cutter hotel experience. 'Now, through our partnership with Wyndham, we're flipping the script to unlock bold new growth opportunities by franchising a lifestyle brand without diluting its DNA. Wyndham is a global leader in hotel franchising—with the scale, infrastructure, and expertise to help us grow with intention and impact. Just as importantly, Ovolo brings something different—an edge and energy that complements Wyndham's presence in the upscale lifestyle market.' Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Asia Pacific president Joon Aun OOI said: 'This partnership marks a significant milestone for Wyndham, further expanding our upscale presence in the Asia Pacific region by combining Ovolo's strengths in the lifestyle segment with our extensive global network. The future of travel isn't about sameness—it's about spaces with soul, brands with a point of view and experiences that don't blur into the background.' These five properties will benefit from access to sales, marketing and distribution platforms provided by Wyndham, extending their reach and creating new commercial prospects. Additionally, these five hotels will become part of the Wyndham Rewards loyalty programme.
