A.I.R.BORN: More Than a Residency. A Living, Breathing Ecosystem.
A.I.R.BORN is Ovolo’s creative habitat for the wildly ambitious thinkers, doers, disruptors, the stubbornly curious, and the wildly ambitious. We invite photographers, filmmakers, painters, chefs, architects (and any creative soul in between) to make our hotels their home base. Whether you’ve got studio fever or crave a nomadic reset, we champion your craft with open doors, fresh backdrops, and a community built to inspire.

“Working with Ovolo Hotels has been an incredible creative partnership. We share a passion for pushing boundaries, creating quality dining experiences that are vibrant, inclusive, approachable and fun.
Collaborating closely with Ovolo’s talented head chefs and kitchen teams has been one of the most rewarding parts of the process. Together, we explore new ideas, experiment with local ingredients, and bring genuine depth and personality to our menus. It’s about capturing the spirit and sense of place of each venue while maintaining a strong sense of craft, provenance, and flavour.
What I love about Ovolo is their willingness to think differently — to see food and hospitality as part of a larger story through design, art, culture, creativity, and community. That freedom inspires me to keep evolving, to create experiences that have feeling, meaning and deeply connected to the people who enjoy them.” – Justin North
From late-night brainstorming sessions to scouting the season’s best produce, Justin’s approach blends craft and community.
