Imagining Amek Group
Amek Group was formed by childhood friends, Luis Gallotti and Lisandro Léon Liguori. Basketball brought them together in their native country of Argentina, forming a partnership that would carry them from the young age of 10 years old through recruiting a team of their own. It was a shared passion for hospitality that solidified their collaboration. Both wanted to transform hospitality and create experiences that would leave a lasting impression on the future of travel, especially for their own families. An unparalleled industry background, extreme focus, an obsession for luxury hotel service, and their meticulous nature form the pillars of their fast-growing company. Luis draws upon his tenured career in branded, luxury hotel operations while Lisandro’s extensive scholastic and strategic methodology in sales and marketing round out their wholistic approach.
“Many new hotel owners come from the younger generation. They are well-travelled with great experiences and passion for the industry. When they start their own projects, they seek to create something fresh, away from the derivative, and draw upon their greatest travel memories. Our business model is flexible, and we help owners materialize a unique product proposition that is relevant to the modern luxury traveler,” says Co-Founder Luis Gallotti.
“I am motivated by the value of an experience, and that is how we lead this brand,” adds Co-Founder Lisandro Léon Liguori. “We bring an all-in-one integrated management program ‘from A to Z’. We deliver maximum profitability while executing a contemporary and authentic approach to disrupting the traditional model of hotel management.”
Since inception, Amek Group has grown and recruited dynamic, international, and multilingual hoteliers with proven track records and passion for disrupting the industry. Taking the approach of people over process, the executive team carries extensive international and multidisciplinary experience from several recognized brands in hotel management, consultancy, portfolio, procurement, and development. “This collective of dedicated hoteliers is central to our mission of creating a service that our guests will remember as they grow. We leave our egos at the door and focus on the experience,” continues Co-Founder Lisandro Léon Liguori.
