PB hotel design editorial

Fitted into a narrow site on Aberdeen Street in Hong Kong's Central district, where colonial-era stone walls abut the mid-levels escalator corridor, the building housing Ovolo Central announces itself through a striking perforated brick screen that wraps the upper facade — a contemporary intervention that sits in deliberate conversation with the neighbourhood's layered architectural history. The 42-room hotel, which opened in 2012 and was designed by Hong Kong practice YOD Group, draws much of its energy from that double-height atrium cutting through the building's core, glazed on one side with floor-to-ceiling steel-framed windows that frame the surrounding canopy of mature trees. The interiors navigate a productive tension between industrial structure and eclectic warmth. In the lobby lounge, a teal-glazed brick column anchors a seating arrangement of green velvet chairs, tan leather armchairs, and botanical-print upholstery, overhead Flos Aim pendants clustering in loose formation above. The bar draws its character from a terrazzo counter in black and white aggregate set against brass-mesh cabinetry, amber pendant lights casting the double-height glazing in gold at dusk. Guest rooms carry the same considered restlessness — low platform beds with linen upholstered headboards, bold horizontal stripe panels as focal walls, brushed copper joinery curving around media units — colour deployed with enough confidence to register as personality rather than decoration. Complimentary minibar and Wi-Fi have always been part of the Ovolo offer, positioning the property as a design hotel that treats amenity as attitude.

"We stayed here for three days and two nights. While the hotel is technically in Central, the location isn’t as convenient as it sounds. To get to Queen’s Road, the malls, and most restaurants, you need to walk about 15–20 minutes downhill. Going down is fine, but the uphill climb back to the hotel is exhausting, especially after a full day out. The hotel itself looks chic with an art-deco boutique style, but the experience didn’t match the design. The elevator situation was terrible, during our stay only one was working, and it serves over 20 floors. It’s small, shaky, and felt unsafe. The layout is also awkward, with reception separated from the room elevators by another entrance, which makes it confusing and inconvenient. The rooms are nicely decorated but very small for the price. The bed was comfortable, but the bathroom design wasn’t well thought out. The glass bathroom door is right beside the bed, so light from the bathroom spills into the room, making it impossible to keep it dark for sleeping. Breakfast is served at the hotel’s vegan restaurant. Food was fine, but the restaurant only serves breakfast and closes at 4 pm. There’s no option for dinner, which makes it less convenient if you were hoping to eat at the hotel. Overall, the vibe is chic, but between the uphill walk, tiny rooms, awkward layout, and unreliable elevators, it’s not worth the price. I wouldn’t stay here again."

"We loved our stay at Ovolo Central, largely because of the kindness and friendliness of the staff. They were unfailingly helpful and considerate. The hotel is well located, quiet and decorated with some zany touches. We ate at fhe Veda Restaurant at the hotel- great coffee and delicious vegetarian meals."
