The house
Motel OneSecessionist bank conversion
A former regional bank on the main square now operates as a design hotel built for Danube cyclists.
What it’s good at
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Cobblestone lanes branch into the old town behind the building, and the Danube riverfront sits just across the square.
The rooms
Selected corner rooms keep historic wood paneling, and standard rooms stick to clean, straightforward layouts.
One Lounge & Bar
Morning brings an organic breakfast buffet, and the bar counter shifts to a dedicated gin menu by evening.
At the table
Wittmann armchairs and cane-back Thonet chairs sit around timber tables beside glass partitions illustrated with local street scenes.
How it began

Oberbank ran a branch on this site for nearly 150 years before the building became a hotel in 2019.

The eight vibes
Design
Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.
Luxe
Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
