“Given the superb location of the property, the positioning of the OZO brand as “select service offering a five star sleeping experience”, the fresh new OZO facilities and the services we will be unveiling, OZO Wesley will be an appealing alternative to the current accommodation offerings in the area around Admiralty and Pacific Place.

OZO guestrooms will showcase facilities traditionally featured in more luxurious levels of accommodation including plush carpeting, fully sound-proofed walls and doors, the latest in-room technology and a bed guaranteeing a great sleep experience. A selection of music and amenities for ultimate relaxation will further ensure that every guestroom becomes a personal sanctuary.
