Boutique Hotel Altstadt Vienna

A grand house with art

The Altstadt Vienna occupies a patrician house in Spittelberg, the district of little streets in the 7th district, between the MuseumsQuartier and the shops and bars of the Neubaugasse. It was opened 35 years ago by Otto Ernst Wiesenthal, whose collection of contemporary art, with works by Warhol, Brigitte Kowanz, Prachensky, Attersee or Helnwein, his own or lent by museums, hangs throughout the hotel.

The rooms

There are 62 rooms and suites, all different, each interpreted by an architect or designer: Matteo Thun, Polka, Dietrich Untertrifaller and others. There is a 16 m² single inspired by the Orient Express, with a bunk, from €174 with breakfast; regular doubles, of 20 m², from €234; mediums, of 25 m², from €244; and suites such as the Freud, which recreates the psychoanalyst's consulting room. Prices vary by date.

Breakfast is served with produce from suppliers that the hotel presents on its website; for non-guests it costs €45. The lounges also serve as a sitting room, for afternoon tea and a last drink.

Getting there and parking

From the airport, the hotel indicates about 45 minutes by public transport to the U3 metro, Volkstheater stop, Burggasse exit, and a few minutes' walk. Check first how the airport train is running, because the central stretch of the S-Bahn is closed for works until the end of October 2027. By car, you can stop in the loading zone at the door to drop off luggage; the hotel recommends the public MuseumsQuartier car park, seven minutes away, with a reduced rate of €25 a night with the card given at reception.
