TFE Hotels has announced the establishment of a New Zealand Country Office off the back of multi-property management agreement with New Zealand’s leading accommodation provider, Heritage Hotels, which saw five hotels join TFE’s global network on 1 December.
Veteran hotelier, Warwick Kahl, will lead the team as Director of Operations NZ.
Under the agreement, Heritage Hotels retains ownership of its portfolio in New Zealand. TFE Hotels will manage more than 500 rooms across five properties, including the Adina Citylife Auckland and Rendezvous Heritage Auckland helmed by Cluster General Manager, Akash Sood.
In Wellington, the Adina CityLife Wellington, under the leadership of Oytun Cevik, will give TFE an apartment-style accommodation offering in the capital whilst in the south, Adina will also establish a brand presence in Christchurch with the Adina Heritage Christchurch, managed by Astrid McGowan.
The 175-room Rendezvous Heritage Queenstown rounds out the offering, delivering a strong MICE and leisure offering in New Zealand’s adventure capital, with TFE currently recruiting for a General Manager.
