It’s easy to plan your visit to Vienna if you first distinguish between the city centre, the railway station, the exhibition centre and the Danube. Motel One Vienna-Hauptbahnhof is particularly convenient if you’re arriving by train, have several trips planned across the city, or want to explore the Belvedere and the city centre with ease. Motel One Vienna-Westbahnhof is ideal if Mariahilfer Straße, the western parts of the city, Schönbrunn or the Stadthalle are on your itinerary. For the Prater, Messe Wien, Praterstern and routes towards the Danube, Motel One Vienna-Prater is a good choice.

If your idea of Vienna is more about the Ringstraße, the State Opera, the Hofburg, the Naschmarkt, coffee houses and the classic city centre, The Cloud One Vienna-State Opera is particularly central. Motel One Vienna-Donau City is a sensible choice if the UNO City, Austria Center Vienna, the Danube Island, Donaupark or appointments north of the Danube are important to you. That way, you’re not choosing based on the prettiest name, but on the route that defines your day.

Business travellers are best advised to choose based on the location of their appointment. Motel One Vienna-Hauptbahnhof is ideal for arrivals and multiple appointments; Motel One Vienna-Donau City for the Austria Centre, UN City and international office districts; Motel One Vienna-Prater for Messe Wien and events; and Motel One Vienna-Westbahnhof for locations in the western part of the city centre. For central meetings and evening activities, The Cloud One Vienna-State Opera is particularly convenient.

Even today, Vienna’s cityscape is still very much shaped by the legacy of the mighty Habsburg Monarchy. The magnificent Baroque palaces of Schönbrunn and Belvedere, the Hofburg as the centre of the vast empire, and the famous Ringstraße with its monumental buildings bear witness to the Habsburgs’ architectural legacy. If you’d like to immerse yourself in Vienna’s legendary imperial history, Schönbrunn Palace, with its vast parkland and the world’s oldest zoo, is definitely worth a visit. From our design hotel at Vienna’s Westbahnhof, you can reach the Baroque complex in just a few minutes. Stroll through this UNESCO World Heritage Site in the footsteps of Empress Sisi, wander through the enchanting maze and discover the magnificent ceremonial rooms. Vienna is regarded as one of the cities with the highest quality of life in the world and has plenty to offer for both body and soul. In the traditional coffee houses, you’ll be served Melange, Häferlkaffee and Einspänner, and the Wiener Schnitzel here is more tender than anywhere else. Vienna’s city centre is characterised not only by its many cafés and restaurants, but also, and most notably, by the imposing architecture of St Stephen’s Cathedral. This Viennese landmark was built in the 12th century and is now regarded as the country’s most significant Gothic building. Not far from the cathedral lies the Hofburg, a sprawling castle complex and the political centre of the former monarchy.

Had enough of historic buildings and looking for a laid-back party atmosphere? Then we recommend a detour into Vienna’s electronic music scene, which you’ll find in many of the city’s clubs. A perfect starting point for night owls is the ‘Bermuda Triangle’, the old Jewish quarter near St Ruprecht’s Church. For a more alternative vibe, head to the Spittelberg district in the 7th and 8th districts. At the Naschmarkt, too, you can dance side by side with Vienna’s young, hip crowd. Old and young, yesterday and today, opulent and charmingly alternative – let yourself be captivated by these contrasts in Vienna!
