Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set in the historic Innere Stadt, the hotel stands directly opposite the Albertina and steps from the Vienna State Opera.
The rooms
Deluxe rooms feature cushioned window seats framing views across the square, paired with heated bathroom floors and complimentary Austrian wine.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
The ground-floor brasserie serves all-day breakfast and regional Austrian wines, with leather banquettes inside and tables on the square.
How it began
Architects transformed a former 1950s student hostel, projecting geometric bay windows from the facade to frame views across Albertinaplatz.
