Girish Jhunjhnuwala is the entrepreneur, founder and visionary behind Ovolo Hotels in Australia, Hong Kong, and Bali. Since first entering the real estate market in 2002 and subsequently expanding into the hotel industry in 2010 with Ovolo, he has continued to expand and challenge industry conventions, bringing on a new approach aimed at the modern traveler.Since then, Ovolo Hotels has grown into a diversified international group with a collection of thirteen designer properties under multiple brands, and plans to keep growing. The Ovolo Hotels experience is driven by his desire for all-inclusivity, which is the basis behind the signature Ovolo “Perks”.
This concept is a promise to guests that once checked-in, all key touch points of the hotel are truly free. This is joined by another one of Ovolo’s signature characteristics, in which no two Ovolo hotels are truly the same. Steering away from the traditional hotel “cookie cutter” approach, each property has its own story, design, and touch.It’s all these little personalized touches that Girish has wished for during a lifetime of travel, that make the Ovolo brand standout amongst a legion of hospitality brands.
