Wyndham Hotels has revealed a new agreement with Ovolo Hotels to operate an upcoming Perth property, though its official name, “Bennett by Ovolo Perth a Wyndham Hotel,” is certainly a mouthful.
The new hotel will offer 111 guest rooms and a range of amenities, including an on‑site bar, restaurant, and modern fitness centre. Construction is set to begin in the third quarter of this year, with the official opening penciled in for March 2028.
In announcing the signing, VP of Business Development, South East Asia & Pacific Rim, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Matt Holmes said,
This signing marks an exciting milestone in our partnership with Ovolo Hotels 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’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 Ovolo–Wyndham Partnership

This collaboration blends the strengths of both brands, Ovolo’s boutique hotel creativity and Wyndham’s global distribution power, to deliver a design‑driven hospitality experience in Perth.

Final Words
At present, the only other Wyndham‑branded property in the city is Club Wyndham Perth in West Perth, giving this new development the potential to significantly strengthen Wyndham’s footprint in Western Australia. There had previously been plans for a Wyndham Lux on Great Eastern Highway, but that proposal ultimately never eventuated
It’s interesting to see this announcement coming on the heals of Radisson announcing a new Perth property. Things seem to be happening in the Perth hotel market!
