Deep within the vibrant heart of Melbourne’s many tangled laneways, lives a little hotel with a big personality. An eclectic inner-city stay infused with rebel spirit that beats to a different drum. Infused with creative flair, Laneways by Ovolo is a colorful nod (and a cheeky wink) to Melbourne’s paint-splashed streets. With 43 Memphis-inspired rooms, tailored to the weekend adventurer and the corporate crusader, it’s the perfect spot to kick off your heels, or slip on some sneakers and hit the cobblestones. During your stay, be sure to grab a cocktail or pot of local craft beer at the downstairs Amphlett House — an upbeat bistro-pub with honest fare offering vibrant drinks on tap. Outside, wander art-filled arcades rich with the aroma of roasted coffee. Explore avant-garde galleries and bustling boutiques. Or catch a show in the city’s thriving theater district. At Laneways by Ovolo — find yourself center stage. And lose yourself in a world of culture, cuisine and curiosity.
