Ovolo Southside
Ovolo Hotels are offering their V.I.Pooch programme (starting from $1,200) making staycations in Hong Kong that much better, because now, whenever you treat yourself, you can treat your dog too! With locations in Hong Kong and Australia, dog owners now have the opportunity to live that jet-setting life with their furry friends and stay in absolute comfort and style.
Humans can enjoy free breakfast, Wi-Fi, minibar (replenished daily—winning!), social hour drinks, self-laundry, 24-hour gym, and snacks. Doggies get a “doggy bag” of treats and toys (humans also get a goodie “loot” bag of treats). Each pet-friendly room is decked out with a dog bed, a no-mess eating and drinking mat, food, and water bowls.
Occasional dog-friendly brunch sessions are hosted at hotel restaurants TQM Taqueria or Komune. Or you can take full advantage of room service, where you can live in the lap of luxury and watch Apple TV all day. The biggest draw? There are no weight or size restrictions for pups that stay at Ovolo Southside, compared to other hotels, and the hotel is conveniently located in the Southside, where there are plenty of hikes and trails to choose from.
Up to two dogs per room only. No weight or size restrictions at Ovolo Southside, but you must call reception upon leaving your hotel room to be escorted by staff (unless your dog fits in a pet carrier). Pet’s health certificate should be provided in advance. Rooms start from $1,200, covers one dog. A second dog will incur a charge of $500 per night.
In the area: Take a short 15-minute walk to Heung Yip Path Pet Garden, along the quieter streets of Wong Chuk Hang where you and your pup can brush up on some obstacle course training. Whiskers n Paws—Hong Kong’s mecca of pet supplies—and neighbouring Aberdeen Country Park and other hikes are just a short taxi ride away. Not to mention, if you’re going to be on the Southside, might as well visit The Pulse, where you have plenty of other dog-friendly eateries and trails to explore nearby.
