Ruby Marie Hotel Vienna

If you’re a shopaholic, the chances are you’ll fall in love with the Ruby Marie Hotel. Once Austria’s first department store, it’s now a super-stylish space with plenty of fashionable flourishes that tip a hat to its 1960’s hey-day. The homeware and clothing may be long gone, but as its located on Vienna’s busiest shopping street, finding a souvenir of your city break is as easy as stepping out of the front door.

The bar is the hotel’s central hub and the place where you’ll enjoy a healthy breakfast accompanied by locally sourced (and bottomless) coffee. Afternoon snacks are on offer here, too, while live music courtesy of talented local acts regularly take place throughout the week. Why not grab a cocktail and heard to the hotel’s rooftop garden? You’ll be rewarded with sweeping views of Austria’s beautiful city.
