Every year the World Capital Institute recognizes the world’s best centres of knowledge with the “Most Admired Knowledge Cities Award”. In 2015 Vienna took first place in the category “Knowledge City Region”. The city’s educational establishments, its cultural offering, its high quality of life, its cosmopolitanism and central geopolitical location were the decisive factors for Vienna’s “pole position”, which is also of central importance in the competition for international meetings.
Commenting on Vienna’s victory as a “knowledge city”, Christian Mutschlechner, Director of the Vienna Convention Bureau, said: “Once again, Vienna has stood out as a university city with the highest number of students in the German-speaking region and as an internationally sought-after centre of knowledge.” Ever since the year 2007, the World Capital Institute based in Monterrey in Mexico singles out cities that stand out from their competitors in the generation and management of knowledge for the “Most Admired Knowledge Cities Award 2015”. Vienna was nominated this year for the first time, winning out against Copenhagen in second place.
Vienna has also achieved success by means of its social capital, internationality and financial resources, its geopolitical position between East and West, its environmental awareness, and due to its transport and telecommunications systems. However, Vienna’s top ranking was also thanks to factors such as equality of opportunity, a functional health system and not least its innovation and knowledge-based services. Besides, the strategy of “Innovative Vienna 2020” – approved by Vienna City Council in September 2015 – has as its objective the continued promotion of the city’s innovative potential.
Owl and the Pussycat to join the Mason Rose collection.
Opening in January 2016 and joining the Mason Rose collection, the Owl and the Pussycat will be Sri Lanka’s newest boutique hotel, offering guests a luxury long-haul hideaway, located in the southern coastal town of Thalpe, just a short Tuk-Tuk ride from the historic Galle Fort.
Painted in deep pastels and vibrant bohemian hues, the property is designed by New York architect Uday Dhar. The hotel’s furniture, colourful textiles and artwork are hand-made by 20 artists from all over the world, including local craftsmen.
The property boasts generously sized rooms and suites with views of the Indian Ocean, a restaurant with a Head Chef and Pastry Chef offering traditional Sri Lankan cuisine with Mediterranean accents, a bar and café, relaxed beach shack and a beautiful swimming pool. Together with its jazz band and selection of musicians playing at the weekend, and its local learning programme and philanthropic heart, this new hotspot is inspired by local influences, whilst still promising sophistication and style.
I was really impressed with the destination, as for groups it offers both excellent hotels, and wide array of activities and excursions. In my time there we visited the Lavaux vineyards for a wine-tasting, the Montreux Christmas Market, chocolate-making in Vevey (the home of Nestlé), and Chillon Castle. Being located between the mountains and the lake would also make a wide variety of physical activities possible. In particular Chillon Castle was fantastic, as spaces can be privatised for dinners, receptions and dances, while the castle has been built on a small island on Lake Geneva. I would highly recommend the destination to MICE bookers for anyone looking for either a small get-away meeting, a large conference, or something in between!

The Fairmont Montreux Palace is a five-star hotel on the lakeside, and is a 5 minute walk from Montreux Station. Built in the early 1900’s, the hotel has been lovingly maintained, and boasts a wealth of both heritage meeting rooms, and modern meeting facilities in an interconnected conference centre. The hotel also offers a range of bedrooms (either with city views, or stunning lake views) which are all of a high standard, and are decorated in a classic traditional style, without being kitsch. Additionally, the hotel offers a breakfast restaurant that can be used for conference lunches, as well as the superb MP’S Bar & Grill, and the lively Funky Claude’s Bar, which is centred around the living heritage of the Montreux Jazz Festival.

This weekend I had the pleasure of visiting the Montreux Riviera, courtesy of the Fairmont Montreux Palace and the Swiss Convention Bureau. Flying in from Heathrow to Geneva Airport, the towns of Vevey and Montreux are an hour’s journey by rail, along the scenic shores of Lake Geneva. The Montreux Riviera, at the furthest end of the Lake from the city of Geneva, is tucked by the lake, in between the mountains and vineyards of the Lavaux region. The region faces the lake and the French Mountains on the other side, and provides a mesmerising view.
