Overview
You'll find Laneways by Ovolo close to Melbourne's thriving theater district, avant-garde galleries, and bustling boutiques—allowing for an easy immersion into the city's rich art and culture scene. As a guest at Laneways by Ovolo, you'll be just a short walk from The Princess Theatre, Parliament Gardens, and the Royal Exhibition Building. For dining, the hotel's upbeat bistro-pub, Amphlett House, offers drinks and some of Australia's most-loved meals. Additionally, every guest contributes to the environment as the hotel plants a tree on your behalf.
The hotel's guestrooms are Memphis-inspired, with a playful mix of modern design and vibrant colors. Rooms are spacious, comfortable, and packed with amenities for an enjoyable stay. The in-room mini-bar (with the first fill on the house) and self-service laundry are just a few perks you can enjoy. The Memphis Penthouse offers two bedrooms, a spacious lounge, a private terrace, and a hot tub Jacuzzi spa with city views. The exclusive Neale Whitaker suite, styled by Neale Whitaker, also includes some of the designer's favorite pieces, including original art, limited-edition objects, and soft furnishings hand-selected by Neale.

We absolutely loved our stay at Laneways by Ovolo in Melbourne. The hotel was super hip and had a really cool vibe. Plus, it was right in the middle of Chinatown, so there was so much to explore right at our doorstep. The location was perfect for immersing ourselves in the local culture and enjoying all the vibrant activities around. This place really stood out as a highlight of our trip.
