Toga Hospitality began its operations with the opening of the Medina Classic at Randwick, Sydney, in 1982. The company has spent the last 27 years expanding the Medina Hotel brand to key locations throughout Australia. In 2003, Toga Hospitality launched a new concept in accommodation to further expand the company’s Australian presence, by opening the first Vibe Hotel in Sydney’s Rushcutters Bay. Since this time the group has opened additional Vibe Hotels in Melbourne, Darwin and the Gold Coast.
In 2005, Toga entered into a long-term agreement to manage Travelodge Hotels in Australia and New Zealand. The following year saw Toga Hospitality became the first Australian accommodation chain to launch in continental Europe with the opening of Adina Apartment Hotel Copenhagen and Adina Apartment Hotel Budapest.
Today, Toga Hospitality is considered one of Australia’s leading hospitality groups with an estimated worth of $445 million according to BRW.
