Vienna was one of Europe's most important 19th century cities, home to many great musicians and some of the best examples of Art Nouveau architecture. Nowadays Vienna offers its visitors an insight into its cultural heritage with a fantastic range of modern accommodation and a true cosmopolitan touch.
Altstadt Vienna
The beautiful
Hotel Altstadt Vienna is located inside a carefully renovated patrician house. In June 2006, the South-Tirolean star architect
Matteo Thun designed nine new rooms which are decorated in dark and plush colors to evoke associations with old Viennese salons and the splendid parties they hosted. Some pieces of furniture, like the desk and the capitonné, were also designed by Thun and custom-made for the hotel. The bathrooms boast black
mosaic walls with Swarovski crystals as individual highlights.

Levante Parliament was once a sanatorium designed by Robert Oerley, advocate of the austere Jugendstil and member of the
Vienna Secession. Light natural stone, chrome, dark wood and high ceilings (up to 3.3 meters) are combined to create a very
stylish and elegant atmosphere.

DO & CO establishment was opened in
Vienna in 2006 and is located opposite St. Stephen’s Cathedral. The interior design was inspired by open and light-filled loft-style buildings. Dark floorboards form a contrast to white upholstery; natural Travertin stone and teakwood create a
warm and earthy atmosphere. With their state-of-the-art multimedia facilities and the 24-hour room service, the 43 rooms and 2 suites meet the highest standards. Especially striking are the details such as sockets suitable for appliances from all over the globe or the soundproof bathrooms.

Radisson Blu Style Hotel as a “homage to the Vienna of the Art Deco period”. The austere, almost “masculine” décor is characterized by detail and devoted to works of art and design furniture. In the past this building,
erected in 1919 by an
Otto Wagner pupil, accommodated a bank. The former counter hall now forms the hotel’s heart – the lounge. The superbly appointed rooms are kept in reds and tans.

creative yet functional individual solutions and its own distinct style that makes it so different from your typical design hotel. Light colours and earthy nuances are the theme at this hotel, and dominant style elements are maple and pear wood.
