What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Boutique hotel The Weekend helps guests enjoy just that with smartly decorated rooms and a convenient city center location for getting out to explore Vienna.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Halbgasse sits in Neubau, with the cafes along Burggasse and the shops of Mariahilfer Strasse a short walk away.
The rooms
Rooms take their names from days of the weekend, keeping things simple with pale timber and courtyard views.
At the table
A layered timber front desk doubles as an evening bar, and breakfast is served among bentwood cane chairs.
How it began
Austrian builder Richard Lugner put up the 1984 office block, which housed commercial tenants until its 2021 conversion.
