The Longines Global Champions Tour Vienna | Schönbrunn Palace has already received international recognition after its very first staging. At the prestigious Star Awards in London, the event was honored as one of the best event formats worldwide.
The LGCT Vienna took second place in the „Best Event“ category. At the same time, the Orangery of Schönbrunn Palace was awarded „Best Reception Venue.“ This means two awards went to the Schönbrunn location.
The Prestigious Star Awards are among the most important accolades in the international event industry. Thousands of submissions from around the world are evaluated annually. This makes the award for an event that has only recently become part of the international event calendar all the more remarkable.
For the organizers, the award confirms what many visitors already experienced at the premiere: the combination of top international sports, a historic setting, and Viennese hospitality creates an event experience that goes far beyond elite sports.
With stops in metropolises like Paris, Monaco, Shanghai, and Miami, the Longines Global Champions Tour ranks among the most prestigious sporting series in the world. Schönbrunn Palace provides the event with a backdrop that is unparalleled within the tour worldwide. The award is therefore not only recognition for the event itself but also for Vienna as an exceptional venue.
With this international success behind it, all eyes are now on the next edition of the Longines Global Champions Tour Vienna | Schönbrunn Palace from September 24th to 27th, 2026.
