Ovolo Laneways 

A quirky, modern hotel in central Melbourne.

Bright colours decorate this hotel which was designed to embody the feel of the laneways, the name given to various back lanes in Melbourne known for its vibrant street art. The hotel’s staff deliver some of the friendliest service you can find, whether you’re checking in or asking for local restaurant recommendations. Take a glazed pastry and doughnut from the ‘Grab N’ Go’ breakfast table to power you up for an energetic roam around the city and when you’re so close to Chinatown, you are well placed to indulge in some delicious dim sum, too. Join in on happy hour on the rooftop terrace and socialise with other guests or simply enjoy the views of the city.

Lime green, electric blue and fire-truck-red doors lead off from the corridors and into rooms that include all that a tech-savvy traveller might need including iPads which are available on request. Rooms also have a walk-in rain shower and a loot bag hiding some goodies to welcome you on your arrival. Penthouse Suites are kitted out with a Jacuzzi on the private terrace and an arcade pinball machine, making it a seriously cool city pad that will keep both children and groups entertained.
