The Bennett by Ovolo Perth a Wyndham Hotel is slated to open in 2028, marking the first new franchise signing under the brands’ strategic partnership in Australia.

The new hotel development is located at 180 Bennett Street in East Perth, with construction scheduled to commence in the third quarter of 2026, with an anticipated opening in March 2028. The property will feature 111 guest rooms, along with a bar, restaurant and fitness centre.

The Bennett by Ovolo Perth a Wyndham Hotel is the first new franchise signing under Wyndham and Ovolo Group’s strategic partnership, announced last year, which aligns Ovolo’s design-led boutique hotels with Wyndham’s global scale, distribution and loyalty program.

The hotel will join the existing portfolio of four Ovolo by Wyndham hotels in Australia, further expanding the partnership’s presence in Australia and strengthening its collection of distinctive, design-led stays in the region. 

“This signing marks an exciting milestone in our partnership with Ovolo Group and reflects exactly why we chose to collaborate with them. Ovolo brings something genuinely distinctive to the market – a design-led brand with a loyal following, a strong identity, and a guest experience that resonates with modern travelers. Perth is a dynamic and growing destination, and The Bennett by Ovolo Perth a Wyndham Hotel is designed to stand out in that market,” Wyndham Hotels & Resorts VP of Business Development, South East Asia & Pacific Rim, Matt Holmes said.

“Wyndham’s global distribution, commercial infrastructure and Wyndham Rewards loyalty platform amplify what Ovolo has built, and together we are creating real value for owners and guests alike.”

The new hotel is also said to mark a step in proving Ovolo’s brand and guest experience can be delivered at scale through the franchise model. 

“The Bennett by Ovolo Perth a Wyndham Hotel represents everything we believe a hotel should be – full of character, energy, and visually stunning. As our first franchise signing under this partnership, it is a significant moment for Ovolo, and proof that our brand and ethos can scale. This will not simply be a hotel that looks like an Ovolo – it will feel like one,” Ovolo Group Chief Operating Officer, Shivang Jhunjhnuwala said.

“From the design language to the service philosophy, every signature touchpoint that defines the guest experience across our properties will be present here. We are committed to ensuring that every guest who walks through the doors of The Bennett by Ovolo Perth a Wyndham Hotel experiences the same warmth, creativity and spirit that Ovolo is known for.”
