“After six months following the renovation and opening of Amora Brisbane, the market’s response has been very strong and I am looking forward to establishing the hotel as the top five-star business hotel in Brisbane as the brand strengthens its reputation across the country,” says Unson.
Rahul Dangwal brings over 14 years of hospitality experience to Amora Hotel Riverwalk Melbourne, having held senior management roles with companies such as Stamford Hotels and Resorts, TFE Hotels, and Accor’s Art Series brand.
