Rooms and Suites
- All 62 rooms, suites, and apartments are individually designed and spread out on five floors. Designer furniture, light installations, paintings, and a love for detail give each its special flavor. The two apartments feature a large living room, a separate bedroom, a kitchenette as well as a dining area. A connecting door allows them to be combined, thereby offering 170 square meters of living space. Guests can choose between room categories suite or double room, each in various room sizes, from “regular” to “x-large”. Each one of the many accommodations is unique unto itself, each piece, chandelier, and winged door evoking memories of the long history of this patrician house, where artists, designers, and architects reinterpret the Viennese take on life and the art of hospitality.
- Check out the recently redesigned Freud Suite from architect Elfrid Wimmer-Repp. It’s an immersive journey into the world of the legendary Viennese psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud.
- A new addition is the Grete Wiesenthal Suite, a tribute to Viennese dance legend (and grand cousin of our owner Otto E. Wiesenthal) Grete Wiesenthal.
Wine & Dine
- Buffet breakfast is available in the hotel’s various salons. Order Eggs Benedict, a favorite morning special.
Art
- From paintings and photographs to sculptures and furnishings: Over 400 artworks are spread out through the rooms of the Hotel Altstadt Vienna. These include pieces by Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso, Friedensreich Hundertwasser, Markus Prachensky, and Alex Ruthner.
- The team is hegularly hosting art exhibitions at their event space level41. Next up is Patrick Roman Scherer opening his exhibition OUT OF THE BLANK, followed by Peter and Torsten Ruehle.
Rooftop Terrace
- From the beginning of May to the end of October, or as the weather permits, you can enjoy fresh air, sunshine, and aperitifs on the rooftop terrace in the inner courtyard. This green oasis in the middle of the city is a wonderful place to retreat with a book or activate the body with an early morning yoga session. The mural by artist Frank Maria creates jungle vibes above the rooftops of Vienna.
Red Salon
- Create a public space in the heart of the city, to which guests can withdraw and feel as if they are in their living room – the hosts managed to pull off this feat in the Red Salon. Over breakfast, hotel- and daytime guests can enjoy regional products such as cheese by Pöhl, cereals from Verival, and Staud’s jams. High ceilings, an open fire, and a large artwork by Iris Kohlweiss create an atmospheric, cozy ambiance, in which travelers can wind down their day over a good glass of wine or an evening snack. Guests in search of added calm can indulge at no charge in a selection of high-quality Austrian teas by Sonnentor. The idea behind all of this is encapsulated in the motto of the hotel itself: Slow down, consciously take time, and relax in an informal atmosphere.
Budget
- Rates start at EUR. 179 per night.
