Vibe Hotels is the first hotel group in Australia to partner with TwoSpace, a dynamic Sydney start-up that is changing the way hotels and restaurants use space during their less busy periods. From July, Vibe Hotel Rushcutters Bay Sydney will offer sections of its new dining and bar area, Storehouse on the Park, to subscribed members of TwoSpace to use as co-working space.
TFE Hotels CEO Rachel Argaman said the setup allowed local entrepreneurs, sole traders and freelancers to work on their own businesses in a fun and appealing space that offered plenty of natural light, overlooking the park and the marina, while enjoying great food, drinks and networking with others, including their Vibe hosts.
“It’s the best form of word-of-mouth marketing – as well as having the added bonuses of social media promotion and email marketing that come with the TwoSpace offering,” she said. “This is an excellent way of inviting the local community to explore our beautiful newly refurbished Vibe Hotel Rushcutters Bay and to meet more people who live and work in the area. What better way for us to showcase the beautiful new dining and bar space we have created at Storehouse on the Park and create talkability around our new menus?”
Vibe Hotel Rushcutters Bay Sydney had a full refurbishment and reopened in December with a new restaurant and bar area, new rooms, a renovated pool area, and new décor throughout in a “Palm Springs” theme, incorporating elements of the leafy Rushcutters Bay Park and marina views.
TwoSpace co-founder Tashi Dorjee said: "At TwoSpace we are not just about activating spaces but also community. The Vibe hotel will be such a great place for likeminded people to work together in a very healthy way, with plenty of natural lighting and great view of the bay and park. Imagine turning Vibe hotel into not only a beautiful place to stay but also a hub for great ideas, freelancers and people wanting a break from their office. That is also great value add for any hotel guests wanting to tap into the Sydney Startup community.”
Vibe Hotels is launching the TwoSpace partnership with a TEDxSydney satellite event at Vibe Hotel Rushcutters Bay Sydney on Friday 16 June, co-hosted with TwoSpace’s co-founder Tashi Dorjee. On the day, Tashi will give a speech to attendees about his experience in the start-up and co-working world, and be on hand to facilitate networking drinks at the end of the day.
Vibe Hotel Rushcutters Bay invites Sydneysiders to be a part of TEDxSydney 2017 from one of the city’s coolest hotels. The exclusive and thought provoking TED talks will be live-streamed from the ICC Sydney in Darling Harbour to a viewing room in the hotel.
Inspired by TEDxSydney’s ‘Fast Ideas’ competition, the networking session will see attendees elevator pitch their ideas on improving the local community. The winner will receive a two night stay at Vibe Hotel Rushcutters Bay Sydney.
