Wyndham Hotels & Resorts and Ovolo Group have announced a partnership that will see five Ovolo hotels across Australia and Hong Kong join the Wyndham hotel brand.

Under the deal, Ovolo Group will continue to own and manage the Ovolo brand while working exclusively with Wyndham to unlock development opportunities throughout Asia Pacific.

“This partnership marks a significant milestone for Wyndham, expanding our upscale presence in the Asia Pacific region by combining Ovolo’s strengths in the lifestyle segment with our extensive global network,” says Joon Aun Ooi, president, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts Asia Pacific (pictured at top, third from right).

As part of the partnership, five existing Ovolo hotels located in Sydney, Brisbane, Canberra, Melbourne and Hong Kong – totalling more than 450 rooms – will be integrated into Wyndham’s sales, marketing and distribution platforms, extending their reach while creating new commercial opportunities.

“Wyndham is a global leader in hotel franchising, with the scale, infrastructure and expertise to help us grow with intention and impact,” says Shivang Jhunjhnuwala, founder and CEO, Ovolo Group (pictured at top, third from left).

“Just as importantly, Ovolo brings something different – an edge and energy that complements Wyndham’s presence in the upscale lifestyle market.”
