“Location truly defines this hotel's appeal; you're steps from St. Stephen's Cathedral and immersed in Vienna's vibrant heart. While the rooms lean toward a classic style, the rooftop restaurant-with its panoramic city views and Italian cuisine-is a highlight not to be missed. I'd recommend planning your reservations there early.”
