Is staying in a rockstar suite fitted out with a round cocktail bar on your bucket list? At Ovolo The Valley, you can do just that and choose between the Major Tom and Purple Rain rooms. Sitting close to some of Brisbane’s best live music venues, rooftop lounges and art galleries in Fortitude Valley, the venue pays homage to the eclectic culture and iconic history of its surroundings. The gorgeous blend of art, music and pop culture creates a memorable experience at every turn. Marry that with fresh interior designs, a hip bar and a fully-vegetarian restaurant, and you’ll never want to stay anywhere else.
As for Ovolo’s 103 rooms, a playful theme runs throughout via curious wallpaper, neon lights, velvet touches and hints of Art Deco design too. They’re far from minimalist and nowhere near monochrome either, just how we like it. If you’re in need of a change of scene, however, get on up to the rooftop pool where you’ll be met with Fortitude Valley skyline views and a splashing good time.
Time Out tip: Keep an eye out for the lolly jar at reception, the sweets are yours for the taking.
