OVOLO, SYDNEY
Heritage meets modern luxury at the Ovolo
Woolloomooloo. Overlooking the iconic
Sydney Harbour, the hotel is housed in an
historic building and has a warehouse style
exterior. All 100 rooms continue the theme,
being spacious and bright with eclectic pieces
and bespoke bed head art. Many are also split
over two levels taking full advantage of the
views. Guests can enjoy some downtime in
the Lo Lounge – be sure to download the
Secret DJ app to pick the next song – and
extras such as mini-bar, happy hour and
laundry are all included in the room rate.

THE MURRAY, HONG KONG
Now open, The Murray is the latest
addition to the luxury contemporary chic
collection by Wharf Hotels. Built in 1969,
the hotel’s building is an architectural icon
in the heart of the city and one of eight
historic landmarks under Hong Kong’s
Conserving Central initiative, and the
legendary Foster + Partners were tasked
with its conversion into luxury hotel. The
result is a contemporary stylish sanctuary
consisting of 336 spacious suites and
guestrooms. Gourmands will be pleased
too – The Murray offers five restaurants
and bars including Michelin-starred
Cantonese restaurant, Guo Fu Lou.
