The house
URBANAUTSDispersed storefront lofts
There is no central lobby here. Suites scatter across the district, treating the surrounding streets as a shared living room.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Suites set in former market shops, using Meidling neighborhood cafes for breakfast.
Notable
Former storefronts transformed into nine distinct suites retaining traces of their original trades.
Listed
Autonomous keypad entry and king box-spring beds in independent street-level apartments.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
old storefronts retrofitted and rehabilitated as stylish hotel suites, where you’ll enjoy the privacy and independence of an apartment-share as well as the care and quality of professional hospitality.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Meidlinger Markt sits right outside, where produce stalls and neighborhood fixtures like Café Ignaz & Rosalia supply morning pastries.
The rooms
Layered blinds screen the street display windows, while Garden Suites look inward onto secluded residential courtyards.
How it began
BWM Architects developed the decentralized concept to revitalize abandoned Viennese street-level shopfronts without constructing new buildings.

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