Nestled between towering skyscrapers and bustling neighborhoods, Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport was a marvel of aviation, renowned for its breathtaking approach.
Planes would glide low over the city, weaving between buildings before landing, an exhilarating spectacle that left passengers in awe.
For Stephen Howard, this vivid memory springs to life as he recalls sitting in the cockpit’s jump seat as a child, captivated by the vibrant energy of Hong Kong below.
“Hong Kong captivated me from the moment I stepped into the cockpit of a Cathay Pacific 747-400 to land at Kai Tak. As we soared through what felt like between the buildings, it was evident from the outset that this city offers a different perspective on all angles of life and is anything but normal.”
For Stephen, this unforgettable experience mirrors the bold and vibrant essence of Hong Kong, a city that Ovolo Hotels embodies in every way. From its daring design to its guest experiences, Ovolo celebrates the extraordinary spirit that makes Hong Kong anything but ordinary.
Arbuthnot Road is more than just a street for Girish Jhunjhnuwala, the founder of Ovolo Hotels.
It’s where his family home once stood, rich with memories that shaped his identity.
Growing up in Hong Kong’s vibrant Central district, Girish was inspired by the lively energy around him, fuelling his passion for hospitality.
Today, Ovolo Central, the first hotel established by Ovolo, proudly stands on this cherished street.
This hotel serves as a tribute to his roots, blending comfort and local charm while reflecting the city’s dynamic spirit.
Through Ovolo Central, Girish not only honours his past but also invites others to experience the vibrant essence of Hong Kong that has always inspired him.
