Hotel Altstadt

VIENNA, AUSTRIA

Built in 1902, the magnificent 19th-century aristocratic home now serves as the Hotel Altstadt Vienna. The hotel's appeal is enhanced by the building's history, which may be heard whispering around every corner. Otto Ernst Wiesenthal, the hotel's creator, saw promise in this historic building and turned it into a boutique hotel that combines classic beauty with modern flair. A charming blend of contemporary artwork and antique furniture greets you as soon as you enter, everything carefully chosen to create a cozy and welcoming atmosphere. The love of art and design is evident in every aspect, from the hand-picked artwork that hangs on the walls to the thoughtfully chosen furniture, turning the hotel into a living gallery.

Situated in the center of the bustling Spittelberg neighborhood of Vienna, Hotel Altstadt Vienna serves as an ideal starting point for discovering the city's abundant cultural legacy. Some of Vienna's most well-known sights, such as the MuseumsQuartier, one of the biggest cultural areas in the world, are only a short stroll from the hotel. Discover a wide variety of galleries and museums here, including the Kunsthistorisches Museum's classic pieces and the Leopold Museum's contemporary art.

The hotel invites visitors to interact with Vienna's vibrant creative environment by holding exhibitions, artist talks, and cultural events regularly. Artists from all over the world can stay and work at the hotel as part of its special Artist in Residence program, where they can create new works inspired by their environment. The hotel's impressive collection of modern artworks, which features works by well-known artists including Andy Warhol, Christian Ludwig Attersee, and Franz West, is another example of its commitment to the arts.
