Hotel Altstadt Vienna – An Artistic & Elegant Boutique Property

Publisher — Thu, 22 Aug 2024 13:07:40 +0000

Hotel Altstadt Vienna is a four-star boutique hotel, originally constructed in 1902. Owned by a passionate art collector, the whole place feels like a canvas brought to life. Located in Spittelberg, in Vienna’s trendy seventh district, its neighborhood — also known as the artists’ quarter — perfectly complements the property’s creative spirit.
Enjoy aperitifs on the airy rooftop terrace, and tuck into homemade cakes in the cozy living area. The hotel’s exceptionally-warm staff is the cherry on top.
The Space
Over 400 works of art are dotted throughout the hotel in forms of paintings, photographs, sculptures and furnishings.
All 62 rooms, suites and apartments are individually-designed, and spread across five floors. Each is unique with a character of its own. Distinctive pieces, chandeliers and winged doors evoke memories of the long history of this patrician house. Designer furniture, light installations and Swarovski-stoned embellishments make every corner feel like a stroke of genius.
The Chocolate Room gives a taste of the locals’ love for all things sweet. Its headboard resembles a bar of chocolate and the lamps of gateaux, topped with cherries. There is even a piece missing out of the pink carpet, giving the impression that it has been nibbled on.
Commemorating the 40th anniversary of the UN’s presence in Vienna, the United Nations Suite makes a conscious statement against cultural discrimination and social division with designs inspired by peace activists like John Lennon.
While the Opera Suite celebrates the city’s iconic classical music and features around 1,000 rare, mostly classical vinyls, Freud Suite pays homage to the famous Austrian psychoanalyst, Sigmund Freud. Its decor draws inspiration from both the Sigmund Freud Museum in Vienna and the Freud Museum in London. The suite even features a daybed reminiscent of a classic therapist’s couch, creating an atmosphere of introspection and relaxation.
Beyond The Space
Thanks to its myriad of small boutiques and shops, this artists’ quarter has become increasingly popular in recent years. It’s especially known for its Christmas market, which draws over 100 arts and crafts stands every year.
Within a five-minute walk, you’ll reach the Museumsquartier, one of the world’s ten largest art and cultural spaces with over 60 different institutions. The hotel is at a striking distance from Ringstrasse and only 10 minutes on foot from Hofburg Palace, the former imperial residence. Mariahilferstrasse is the longest shopping street in the city and is also close by.
Take your tea in Red Salon, the hotel’s beautifully-designed public space. The breakfast buffet serves utterly delicious vegan, gluten-free and regional concoctions. As one of the hotel’s sustainability efforts, guests who opt for eco-friendly public transport or bicycle to reach here are rewarded with welcome gifts. Make sure to also check out the creative space that hosts seminars and workshops.
