The power of brainstorming: MICE locations that inspire your creativity

A source of creativity: the Boutique Hotel Zum Oberjäger is located in sunny central Burgenland and is the ideal place to develop original concepts in a group. Surrounded by lush nature, you can find a quiet place where you can work undisturbed on new ideas with your team. Four meeting rooms with modern equipment are at your disposal, the largest of which covers 180 square metres. And if you want your thoughts to flow in all directions, simply move your meeting outside into the park giving you 24 hectares of space. If you are fine-tuning particularly big projects, you can also use the location for several days: The Boutique Hotel Zum Oberjäger has comfortably furnished rooms for up to 26 people. Only about an hour's drive from Vienna, this is the ideal place to bundle your energy for serious brainstorming sessions. 

Right next to Vienna's Prater, Zoku Vienna welcomes everyone who wants to network but who also wants to work in a creative manner. The modern hybrid remote working concept ensures comfort and concentration in equal measure. You and your team can put your thinking caps on and develop visionary plans in three separate rooms. 131 lofts provide sufficient options to retreat and spend the night and if you prefer to work in the fresh air, the large terrace above the rooftops of Vienna is at your disposal. In the evening, it's also a great place to toast to a productive day at work with a drink. Zoku Vienna won an award for its innovative design and has B-Corp certification: this seal guarantees societal, social and ecological responsibility. 

Take advantage of the inspirational energy exuding from the vineyards in southern Burgenland: Hannersberg & Chaletdorf Hannersberg is the perfect place to channel all your original thoughts. Two large halls and three breakout rooms provide you with enough space for workshops, BarCamps, meetings and seminars. You can think even more freely when you take advantage of one of the many relaxation spots around the facility. The wonderful view over the forest and vineyards will help you explore and expand your own inner horizons as well. In the evening, you can even round off your event with a campfire and then spend the night in one of the 35 chalets with 70 beds. The culinary delicacies here are also highly recommended: in the mornings and afternoons you can order Burgenlandian canapés or rustic mini-lángos. In addition, there are of course various options for lunch buffets, a light lunch or à la carte, as well as evening dinner choices.
