Ovolo Nishi

You may know the name of this designer hotel chain from its outposts in Melbourne and Sydney, but Ovolo Nishi has swiftly become a firm favourite for both Canberrans and travellers alike. Taking over the bones of the former arty establishment Hotel Hotel in 2018, Ovolo Nishi is a true guest-first hotel. Lap it up in one of Ovolo’s 68 stylish rooms, individually furnished with timber, concrete, eucalypt and salvaged Tasmanian tree ferns. Then, max out on the perks, including complimentary continental breakfast, a 24-hour gym, a fully vegetarian restaurant, and maybe most importantly, a free in-room mini bar for those midnight treats.

Time Out tip: Ovolo Nishi is home to Canberra’s only cutting-edge vegetarian dining experience, Monster Bar and Kitchen, where locally sourced, sustainable ingredients shine. You can order select snacks and share plates to your room, along with seasonal cocktails for that nightcap.
