Ovolo Hotels has launched a new Home. Stretch. Quarantine Concierge offering in response to Hong Kong’s 12 August easing of restrictions.
The award-winning designer hotel collection has been proudly bringing Hong Kongers home for the last two years and has been an industry trailblazer when it comes to elevating mandatory quarantine to a pleasant and restorative experience for its guests.
Ovolo Hotels welcomes the latest announcement to reduce quarantine with open arms and sees this as a positive step forward in what the city hopes to be the ending stages of in-bound quarantine.
Ovolo has always been an advocate for reopening Hong Kong’s borders when it was safe to do so. While Ovolo was honoured to play its part in welcoming returning citizens and visitors to Hong Kong with a safe and enjoyable experience, running a quarantine hotel has many challenges and few of the joys of face-to-face interaction that hospitality normally offers. With the exceptionally high costs of running a quarantine hotel, financial gain has never been a priority – for Ovolo, it’s all about bringing people back to Hong Kong with dignity and respect. It is now time to reinvigorate the city and treat COVID as what it is: a part of life.
Quarantine Concierge: Home. Stretch. continues to offer everything Quarantine Concierge 7.0 did and more, with a choose-your-own three-day staycation experience. Ovolo has curated a number of options under the pillars of Wellness, Fitness and Indulgence for guests to choose from. Guests can mix and match according to their personal preference, enabling them to enjoy a healthy or indulgent lifestyle balance:
- The ‘Wellness’ selection is perfect for guests wanting to use the time to practice some mindfulness, with activities such as origami kits, meditative colouring-in and a yoga masterclass, complete with a take-home yoga mat.
- Those looking to stay active can pick from the ‘Fitness’ menu, which offers a variety of workout equipment plus a pilates masterclass membership, motivating playlists and a walking pad to ensure your daily step count is reached.
- Guests needing a little self-care will enjoy ”Indulgence’ options complete with a luxe whisky masterclass, gourmet Kettle Chips and a rejuvenating skin retreat masterclass.
Ovolo’s partnership with ClassPass, provides quarantine guests with a complimentary membership for two weeks, complete with 20 credits and 50% off all classes on their trial, so they can continue to enjoy the perks after their stay.
“The home stretch…….finally! It’s awesome to see that Hong Kong’s quarantine rules are easing to 3 days hotel quarantine with a further 4 days of health monitoring. Whilst Ovolo Hotels has been proud to look after returning Hong Kongers over these last two years, I hope to see quarantine-free travel for everyone coming into our amazing city soon. A quarantine-free border policy is the only way we can truly return to our status as Asia’, says Girish Jhunjhnuwala, Founder & Executive Chairman of Ovolo Hotels.
“Just as we led the way in delivering an exceptional experience throughout the initial quarantine periods, we are now looking at how we can offer an amazing three-day quarantine to corporates and locals, and maybe even some tourists, that will be more like a staycation than quarantining. This includes offering a wide variety of fitness, wellness, and indulgence experiences to care for you – mind, body and soul.
Our Homecoming Project will also continue through this period; it’s an initiative that is dedicated to supporting returning Hong Kongers in need, with HKD$1 a night rooms during this mandatory quarantine period to help them get back to their loved ones,”
Standard in all Quarantine Concierge packages, this new offer will continue to be inclusive of three daily meals per person, free daily in-room happy hour drink and snacks, free welcome mini bar, free welcome Loot Bag, free unlimited premium Wi-Fi, free local calls, and in-room Apple TV and Alexa.
“Coming off the immense success of our Quarantine Concierge 7.0 package, we’re excited to announce Quarantine Concierge: Home. Stretch., which offers guests more choice than ever before, ensuring a pleasurable staycation experience, no matter what they’re into,” says Mael Vastine, Director of Operations of Ovolo Hotels Hong Kong.
