TFE Hotels has appointed Sai Amani to the position of general manager at its landmark Vibe Hotel Melbourne.
Since joining TFE in 2015, Amani has worked across several states and various departments for the group, including as food and beverage cluster manager for the ACT; relief hotel manager for Victoria, Tasmania and South Australia; and most recently as hotel GM at the Vibe Maryville in the Yarra Valley.
Amani’s leadership, passion and impressive business performance saw him acknowledged as ‘Hotel Manager of Year’ in 2020 at TFE’s own global awards event.
Commenting on his appointment, Amani said: “The opportunity was irresistible – this hotel is not only in an enviable position on the intersection of Flinders and Queen Streets, but the design is so exciting.
“It is an amazing representation of old world and new world working together to create something amazing. I love the original 1873 building’s façade and heritage entrance just as much as the new 24-storey glass-fronted tower behind it.
“I am grateful for the opportunity to represent the renowned Vibe brand and lead the team in Melbourne at this state-of-the-art new hotel.”
Supporting Amani in his leadership role is Vanesa Kaya, who has joined Vibe Melbourne as executive assistant manager.
