OVOLO SOUTH YARRA

From its iconic location at the intersection ofToorak Road and Chapel Street in South Yarra, Melbourne, Ovolo Hotels’ latest property stays true to the boutique brand’s penchant for exuberance and whimsy.With 123 rooms categorised as Go Go, Boogie, Groovy and Rockstar, the interiors are firmly in the funky-style category with ’60s and ’70s-inspired wallpaper, hulking velvet sectional lounges, in-room turntables and vinyls, original artworks by Mr Brainwash, and an abundance of orange, mustard and browns (all dreamt up by design rock stars Luchetti Krelle). Downstairs is statement diner Lona Misa, helmed by chefs Shannon Martinez (Smith & Daughters) and Ian Curley (French Saloon, Kirk’s Wine Bar), with a root-to-leaf vegan menu. ovolohotels.com
