what’s inside is, functionally, as modern a luxury hotel as any in town.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set directly on the historic Ringstrasse, the address sits moments from the Danube Canal and the charming cafes of the Servitenviertel.
The rooms
High ceilings and triple-glazed soundproof windows keep the rooms remarkably quiet, overlooking the leafy Ringstrasse or inner courtyards.
The pool and gym
Bring a swimsuit.
A hydrotherapy pool sits flanked by timber walls, and Technogym equipment fills the historic vaulted gym.
The hammam and saunas
A mosaic-tiled Moroccan hammam sits alongside Finnish saunas and steam rooms in the basement thermal circuit.
The spa
Six treatment suites deliver signature Thai therapies and Valmont facials beneath softly backlit timber arches.
Dogs stay too.
Theo's Lounge & Bar
Set in the covered courtyard, the lounge pours Viennese Melange by day and Austrian brandy cocktails by night.
Restaurant
EDVARD
The Michelin-starred dining room serves multi-course seasonal tasting menus focused on low-waste, nose-to-tail Austrian cooking.
At the table
Fluted classical columns line the morning breakfast buffet at Brasserie Sophie, alongside fresh juices and Viennese pastries.
How it began
Built to accommodate visitors for the 1873 Vienna World's Fair, the building served as municipal offices for decades before returning to hospitality.
