Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.

The rooms

Bedrooms pair sleek mid-century seating with mint-green walls, looking out through large windows onto the garden or quiet side streets.

The spa

Wooden loungers sit under arched timber beams in the relaxation room, which steps out onto a planted rooftop terrace.

The sauna

Pine benches line the Finnish sauna, where a picture window looks straight out across leafy treetops and the mountains.

A* Bar & Lounge

Red velvet stools line the wooden bar counter, which pours regional Austrian wines and opens out to the garden.

At the table

Turquoise banquettes line the sunlit breakfast room, where floor-to-ceiling glass looks out over the courtyard garden.
