Southside by Ovolo, a member of Design Hotels, has undergone a dramatic transformation, redefining the luxury hotel experience in Hong Kong. This iconic warehouse-converted hotel, located in the vibrant cultural district of Wong Chuk Hang, is more than just a rebranding; it’s a revolutionary shift in design and service, reflecting Ovolo’s commitment to providing unique and culturally immersive experiences.
The hotel’s latest evolution elevates the guest experience with a distinct blend of luxurious design, comfort, and creativity. Situated on Hong Kong Island’s south side, it offers easy access to the city’s bustling business, dining, and shopping hubs via MTR, taxi, or a short walk to Ocean Park and Water World theme park.
For those seeking ultimate luxury, the Rock Star Suites pay tribute to music legends like Freddie Mercury and John Lennon. These designer suites offer breathtaking views of the south-side beaches and mountains, featuring a built-in bar, custom artworks, and a private haven for guests seeking a balance between work and leisure.
Complementing the luxurious accommodations is the Flat Iron Deluxe, a premier steakhouse renowned for its focus on the “Flat Iron” cut, known for its tenderness and flavor. This restaurant goes beyond top-tier steaks, offering an array of culinary delights, including one of Hong Kong’s best club sandwiches, weekend brunches, cooking classes, and a dedicated kids’ menu, making it the perfect spot for family gatherings and special events.
Adding to the hotel’s charm are the B. Duck-themed rooms, inspired by the beloved Hong Kong character. These playful retreats are designed for younger guests, featuring a play tent and other fun elements, ensuring a memorable stay for the whole family.

The hotel’s public spaces and arrival experience have been completely redesigned. The reception, now located on the original third floor, provides a warm and welcoming environment for a seamless check-in process. The Wonder Bar, a new addition to the lounge, offers guests the opportunity to purchase curated items for their rooms, enhancing comfort and convenience.
