City break in style
If only the best will do, look no further than 25hours Hotel Vienna at Museums Quartier. It’s housed in a stylish glass-fronted building, and when you head inside, you’ll see that they’ve got the quirky, industrial-chic interiors nailed. It’s all very modern – think mismatched lampshades, drums hanging from the ceilings, and an assortment of funky furniture.
Rooms offer a unique spot to relax after a day’s sightseeing. The décor is circus themed, and each room has a striking feature wall behind the bed, which is clad in bright-white cotton sheets. They all come with a flat screen TV, tea and coffee making facilities, and a private bathroom with a shower, and a hairdryer. If you want to go all out, opt for one of the ‘large rooms’, which come with a freestanding bath tub, or an impressive ‘gigantic panorama’ room complete with floor-to-ceiling windows and a kitchenette.
You’ll find the hotel in a winning location that puts you within easy reach of museums, shops and monuments. The Austrian Parliament is less than a five-minute stroll away, as is the Museumsquartier, where you’ll find the Leopold Museum and the Museum of Contemporary Art. Plus, there’s a pretty park with swings and climbing frames right beside the hotel – perfect if you’re travelling with little ones. Borrow one of the hotel’s bikes and you’ll have the whole of Vienna at your feet.
The hotel’s also got plenty to offer onsite, if you don’t fancy heading out. The Mermaid’s Cave hosts a gym and a spa area, which has a steam room and a space for yoga classes. The restaurant – Ribelli – is highly rated and serves Italian and international dishes, including speciality pizzas. Then you’ve got the pièce de résistance – the Dachboden rooftop bar. This trendy space above the city’s comes with sweeping views all the way out to Austria’s vine-clad hills. DJs often spin the decks here, and there’s a great cocktail menu to choose from.
