Recommended Hotel (Best Buy Hotel)
The Patrizier-house has been built in 1902 in the so-called Ring-street style. The famous Otto E. Wiesenthal rebuilt the house into the Altstadt Vienna in 1991 which is today a meeting point for artists, musicians and individual travellers.
Location
The hotel is situated in a surprisingly quiet area, only a 5-minute walk from the next underground station. You can reach the world-famous Ringstrasse and the Museum Quarter in only 5 to 10 minutes.
Vienna's largest shopping street - the Mariahilfer Strasse - and a variety of restaurants are also within walking distance of the hotel.
Rooms
The hotel’s 42 rooms and suites, part of a grand Viennese apartment block, are spread out across 5 floors and are all individually decorated. They are stylish, large and comfortable, decorated in classic and chic colours with exclusive light fixtures, highest quality furnishings, luxurious materials and textiles.
In 2006 renowned Italian architect Matteo Thun redesigned 9 extraordinary rooms, choosing a “belle époque” elegance that reflects an excitingly modern design with a reference to Vienna's splendid historical past. Here dark colours dominate the interiors, underlined by crystal chandeliers and furnishings of superb quality.
General
The Altstadt Vienna is a small, private 4-star hotel with 42 non-smoking rooms and suites in a renovated historical building in the Spittelberg quarter, only a few steps from the major museums and the Ringstrasse.
