Just like innovations continuously change so does the focus of our 196+ forum Vienna and the criteria for winning the Hotel Innovation Award. This year is all about Sustainability and its three pillars Environment, Social and Governance (ESG). Any hotel, hotel brand or hotel group located in Europe which has implemented innovative sustainability solutions can submit their sustainability strategy or initiative online.
196+ forum Vienna regards a homogeneous combination of all the individual aspects to form a winning hotel concept in terms of architecture, design and innovation, no matter whether it is a luxury or a budget hotel, a chain hotel or privately managed, short or long stay, city hotel or holiday resort. Out of all applicants, an independent jury nominates up to ten hotels and shortlists three finalists, which will be presented at the 196+ forum Vienna. The award ceremony and the announcement of the winner will take place at the Festive Dinner.
