Hotelier of the Year Thomas M. FischerThomas M. Fischer, General Manager of Corinthia Hotel Budapest was awarded for being the best hotelier of Budapest. Hotels, hoteliers, chefs, gastro bloggers and restaurateurs stand every year in the spotlight of Best of Budapest & Hungary, one of the most impressive and honouring award for the members of the tourism sector. Tough competition in a very strong field: in more than 60 categories and with 9000 votes the committee of Budapest Week Publishing, the publishing group behind the Best of Budapest & Hungary brand chose the best of the best. Every year the professional jury highlights 10 outstanding individuals, who have excelled in their field and created something unique, exceptional and valuable for the capital and Hungary as well.

With an international experience of leadership at the grandest hotel alliances as Kempinski, Hyatt, Hilton and various types of properties like city centre locations, airport and boutique hotels, resorts and golf operations, the German businessman Thomas M. Fischer had several opportunities to show his skills. With Corinthia Hotel Budapest it is unquestionable that he succeeded again, and with the award of Best of Budapest 2015 it is not a secret anymore.

Just mentioning the most important results in the recent past, Hotel Management created the Food for thought programme for a more effective way of participating in a conference with a carefully designed, special menu. In addition to that, an utter reconstruction was performed by adding the Royal Lounge to the hotels facilities, offering even greater service to meeting clients. Refurbishment of Executive One-Bedroom Suites took place that meets the highest requirements of modern ergonomics and interior design. It is also important to highlight the continual cooperation with charitable organisations, like the Hungarian Red Cross and the Magic Lamp Wish Fulfilling Foundation, in order to provide professional social assistance. Moreover, the hotel has recently launched a management trainee programme as well, encouraging talented students to start their career at one of the grandest members of the hotel industry. Gastro Boulevard Budapest, the 6 in 1 set of top class outlets of Corinthia also showed a new approach towards brighter audiences.

It is definitely a great mission to manage the property and team of Corinthia Hotel Budapest, winner of Hotel of the Year 2014, awarded by the Hungarian Hotel Association. With the 120 year-old Royal history in the 21st century, the management cherishes all the values inherited from the past, but at the same time keeps being progressive and provides all the services and facilities that an individual luxury traveller or the MICE sector requires in our days. Keeping this perfect balance, General Manager Thomas M. Fischer still remains modest, claiming that his success is the result of the team of Corinthia, and goes to all members of the Royal family.
