Australian developer, Perri Projects, has appointed hotel owner-operator Ovolo Hotels as hotel manager for its $50 million South Melbourne project, to be known as Ovolo South Melbourne and expected to open in 2020. Located at 183–199 Moray Street, the 100-room, upper-upscale, six-storey designer hotel will bring Ovolo’s signature ‘effortless living’ ethos to one of Melbourne’s most iconic inner-city suburbs. Ovolo’s appointment represents a significant milestone for the project, which has received planning approval, with construction anticipated to commence in the third quarter of 2019.
