Ovolo Inchcolm Hotel

Brisbane's original boutique hotel stands on the edge of the CBD in Spring Hill. Now known as Ovolo Inchcolm, after undergoing a major renovation in 2014, this historic hotel is a unique, upmarket accommodation experience. 

Built during the 1920's as medical suites on the same site as Dr John Thomson's former residence 'The Inchcolm' (named after Inchcolm Island in the Scottish doctor's homeland), the original hotel opened in 1997. Fast forward seventeen years, the heritage-listed building has retained its charm and character with neo-Georgian facade, art deco entrance, silky oak wall panelling, French oak parquetry flooring and original 1928 Otis lift; while luxe fabrics, bespoke carpets and one-off furniture pieces custom designed for the Inchcolm add modern elegance.  

Luxurious accommodation includes one-bedroom suites, two-bedroom suites, split-level loft suites with floor to ceiling city views and the one-of-a-kind Thomson Suite. Providing a relaxing respite whether staying overnight or longer, guests are greeted by maxibar with Nespresso coffee machine, deluxe workstation, flat-screen LED television and complimentary Wi-Fi.  

For the ultimate indulgence or special occasion, stay in The Thomson featuring a four-poster king size bed, free-standing bath and turndown service.    

Good to know - Pooches who stay at Ovolo with their owners enjoy a doggy bed, feeding mat, food bowls, and a personalised doggy bag filled with toys and treats
