Comfortable rooms, great connectivity and quirky touch points- all at a reasonable price!
Bangkok, 9 July 2013
– Following the launch of OZO Wesley Hong Kong, the OZO brand is set to
make waves within the hospitality industry’s mid-market sector. With a
line-up of exciting new locations soon to launch, OZO properties
challenge the standard within this segment, offering quality services
that count and amenities guests actually want, all with a stylish and
fun delivery.
OZO
is the latest brand from ONYX Hospitality Group, known for its upscale
Amari brand, currently with properties in Thailand and the Middle East.
OZO’s philosophy is all about delivering restful nights, energising
mornings, and the tools to offer on-the-go guests a quality experience
without all the fuss. Practical yet stylish accommodation exceeds
mid-market expectations offering value and comfort for travellers
looking for insider experiences, combined with good connectivity and a
great sleep.
ONYX
recognises that in the rapidly evolving hospitality landscape, there is
space and indeed great potential for a select service brand with
character, such as OZO. Commenting on OZO’s brand development, Peter
Henley, ONYX President and CEO said:
“Guests
are becoming more savvy and they are looking for places to stay that
provide quality services and comfort at a reasonable price. We recognise
that this segment is becoming increasingly popular; especially as both
business and leisure travellers are forced to assess budgets and reduce
accommodation costs. With OZO we aim to surprise and delight our guests
and continue to meet and exceed their expectations in terms of product
and service.”
“We are planning to develop a further
six OZO properties in the next two years, with a concentration on South
East Asia, especially Thailand and its neighbouring countries. Since
developing the brand concept in 2010, we have had a lot of interest from
owners and developers who are attracted by the business model that OZO
offers, particularly as a result of the brands market appeal, cost
effectiveness, stream-lined development and ROI.”
Small
but perfectly formed, the rooms in OZO’s snooze zone offer guests
superb bedding and cleverly designed spaces, giving them just what they
need for the perfect night’s sleep. And of course, all the up-to-date
amenities to keep them connected, including a multimedia connectivity
panel and free Wi-Fi internet access throughout. A healthy breakfast
‘Boost’ and espresso jolt at EAT will invigorate the mornings, and
snacks and healthy treats at grab and go outlet, O2Go will make guests
smile at any time of the day. Friendly and informed staff, known as
‘vocal locals’ will give guests all the area info they need to explore
the town, whether that’s by discovering the best noodle shop or where to
buy local handicrafts.
OZO’s
catch phrase is smart, simple and savvy, so throughout the property
guests will be faced with easy and thoughtful initiatives to make their
stay more comfortable. From the 30 second paperless check-in via iPad
and lively staff at the Spot (the OZO reception), through to the doze
off drinks served at bedtime and sheep counting screen saver on the in
room TV, guests at OZO are invigorated by day and lulled into relaxation
by night.
Now
open, OZO Wesley Hong Kong offers leisure and business travellers
something different in the central Wanchai district. Two further
properties will join the brand in 2013, OZO Colombo in Sri Lanka and OZO
Samui in Thailand, both slated to open in Q4. With further properties
in development in Thailand, Malaysia and Sri Lanka, and a total of seven
properties due to be operational by 2015, OZO is looking forward to a
bright future.
