Michael Dorfer has been appointed General Manager at Jaz in the City in Vienna
Since 1 October 2022, Jaz in the City Vienna has a new bandleader: Michael Dorfer is taking over at the helm as General Manager. He succeeds Michael Fritz, who is leaving the company on his own volition. For Michael Dorfer, the position as General Manager at Jaz in the City Vienna is a sort of homecoming at Deutsche Hospitality: From 2010 to 2016, he had previously worked as Front Office Manager and Executive Assistant Manager at Steigenberger Hotel Herrenhof Vienna.
Michael Dorfer has been putting down roots in the Austrian capital since as far back as 2010. After completing his training at the Bad Hofgastein Higher Institute of Tourism, his pathway first took him via Tyrol to Munich and what is now Westin Grand Hotel Munich, after which he then moved to Vienna. There, the 41-year-old worked until recently at Moxy Vienna Airport, which he headed as General Manager starting in 2016. It was in this role that Michael Dorfer won the "General Manager of the Year Award by Marriott International" in 2019 - the native Carinthian impressed the jury above all with his networking skills and congenial leadership style.
