What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
the Graetzlhotel Karmelitermarkt’s suites are made from disused storefronts, in this case near the Karmelitermarkt, an open-air market just to the northeast of Vienna’s city center.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Karmelitermarkt's produce stalls sit right outside your door, and a short walk across the canal reaches the city center.
The rooms
Street Suites keep their original shop display windows behind layered curtains. Garden Suites face quiet inner courtyards.
At the table
Neighborhood partner cafes around the market replace a hotel dining room. Drinks are poured beside stacks of board games.
How it began
Architects repurposed empty neighborhood businesses in 2015, transforming a disused lamp shop and an old bakehouse into individual street lodgings.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
