A great starting point for any culinary journey, OZO Wesley Hong Kong on Hennessy Road in the Wan Chai district, is surrounded by a myriad of restaurants and cafes. Guests can swat up on the itinerary guides available at the hotel or pick the brain of one of the helpful hotel vocal locals to find a local delicacy such as the fermented tofu, dubbed ‘stinky tofu’, at Chun Mei Mei on Nelson Street.

Love in Koh Samui After satisfying the taste buds and nourishing the soul, it is time to indulge at OZO Chaweng Samui, located on the idyllic island of Koh Samui, Thailand. Following a day of relaxing on the beach, lovers can indulge their taste buds at one of Samui’s romantic beach front restaurants, and then enjoy a moonlit stroll back to OZO. For the ultimate Robinson Crusoe experience, the Angthong National Marine Park, covering over 100 square kilometres of land and sea, should not be missed for its pristine shores and exotic wildlife. Couples can also plan a visit to bathe at the romantic Namuang Waterfall where natural mineral water cascades down an 80 metre drop. Stay at OZO Chaweng Koh Samui from 1,750 ++ THB per night.
