Vienna hotels

Top tips for finding the perfect Vienna hotel

• For the best romantic hotels in Vienna, check out the Innere Stadt (inner city), where you will find the high-end Hotel Sacher Wien, which has has a grand finish and is within walking distance of the Burggarten. If you’d prefer a modern-looking hotel, try the DO & CO Hotel Vienna, with its glossy finish and stunning views of the city.
• If you are planning on visiting the Schönbrunn Palace, then you can opt to stay in the Austria Trend Parkhotel Schönbrunn, which overlooks the nearby Schönbrunner Schlosspark, or look into the Fünfhaus neighbourhood, which is just a few stops from the palace by underground.
• The Innere Stadt, the first district of Vienna in the old town area, is divided into four sections, historically denoted by the city gates. To stay in this area, consider Pension Neuer Markt near the Roman Museum. You will also find a number of museums and historic churches nearby, including Stephansdom (St Stephen’s Cathedral).
• Each year, Vienna hosts Design Week, which brings together designers from all over Austria and the world. It is hosted across a number of venues throughout the city at the end of September, with a different theme each year. Why not opt for a design-led hotel, such as the high-end House of Time in Leopoldstadt.
• If you’d like to stay on the banks of the River Danube, which travels from Germany through 10 countries including Austria, along the Donaukanal off-shoot, you will find Sofitel Vienna Stephansdom, which offers stunning views over the river and the city centre. On the edge of the Danube itself, you will find the Meliá Vienna, with 5-star views over the river.
