About Larry Van Ooyen
LVO profile page
“Our entire approach is based on the guests’ perception of the experience, in all its aspects.”
Being an international hotelier and restaurateur with over 35 years of experience, my career has provided a much-cherished opportunity of traveling, working and living across the globe. Throughout my journey, I have had the privilege of being part of the inspiration and opening preparations of some of the world’s most iconic, financially successful, and highly acclaimed luxury hotels, resorts, and restaurants, including The Chedi Muscat and The Lalu Sun Moon Lake.
My dedication to applying a “guest’s experience” approach has been a cornerstone of my work, enabling the delivery of unforgettable guest journeys. This philosophy also led me to collaborate closely with the late Jaya Ibrahim on numerous projects, such as The Legian Bali and The Setai Miami. Over two decades, I developed a deep understanding of and alignment with Jaya Ibrahim’s design motivations and principles, where prioritizing the guest experience was always central.
As we worked together, I supported Jaya by providing technical and operational insights that complemented his visionary designs. We became each other’s sounding boards throughout the creative process, resulting in destinations that garnered global praise from clients, guests, and media alike. These projects left a legacy that continues to be celebrated and admired to this day.

Renowned for our absolute integrity, consistent support and meticulous eye for detail, we interpret our client’s briefs into
efficient space planning with project specific design direction. Our vast knowledge and skill sets in hospitality operations and management enables us to
create unique destinations, enjoyed and appreciated by those with a penchant for discovery, ambiance, comfort and style.

Our Services

At LVOA, we specialise in conceptualising hospitality projects, integrating location, local culture, and target market needs while adhering to hotel operator standards. From operational concepts to design language and even table top selection, we craft compelling identities for hotels, resorts, spas, and F&B venues to ensure successful ventures.

We collaborate closely with clients to develop unique stories, design language, and visual identities that set their establishments apart and create memorable guest experiences. Ideally, we engage from the initial investment decision, assisting in location selection, appointing the design team, and selecting the hotel operator. We then coordinate the design process alongside operators and clients, overseeing pre-opening stages to ensure smooth execution and alignment with both parties business goals.

Master Planning optimises property use, enhancing the guest experience and guaranteeing operational efficiency, covering aspects like adjacency, circulation etc.

Effective communication is key to our collaboration with clients, consultants, operators, and suppliers. Strong decision-making stems from thorough business analysis, guiding clients on the best path forward, whether for a new development or an existing property.

As determined solution seekers, we address challenges at any stage, always prioritising business success while preserving the original operational and design intent.

LVO Associates provides expert hospitality design and project management services globally.

it is our role to turn your vision
