Altstadt Vienna

Sensuality and style in Spittelberg, Vienna’s historic and artistic quarter

An alluring boutique hotel jam-packed with modern art, Altstadt Vienna is housed in a 19th-century town house in a quiet part of Vienna, just a fifteen minute walk from the city centre. Expect wonderfully stylish rooms, inviting lounges with open fireplaces and a truly welcoming atmosphere.

Spread across five floors, modern works of art by Gilbert & George and Andy Warhol decorate the walls throughout Altstadt Vienna. Rooms, suites and apartments range from classic modernity to stylish decadence and each room is different.

Wake to a sumptuous breakfast, and start the day with a glass of Prosecco and organic juices. Then wander into the city and take a horse-drawn carriage around the sights and admire Vienna’s stunning Baroque architecture. Stop to visit the Schönbrunn Palace, the former summer residence of the Imperial family. In the evening, enjoy an aperitif in Altstadt Vienna’s exciting new bar before dinner in a local restaurant.


Enjoy your stay!

The staff at the Alstadt are the best I've encountered anywhere

From the lavish breakfast to the afternoon with homemade cake(and a candy bar!), to the individually appointed rooms and the amazing staff, our stay was memorable.

A home away from home

I am a regular at Altstadt Vienna. Their individually furnished rooms, all with high ceilings in "Altbau" style, make you feel being at home rather than in a hotel room. This in combination with their very welcoming staff and excellent breakfast makes me return every time I go to Vienna.

Charming and artsy hotel close to world famous museums

Lovely hotel about a ten minute walk to the museum quarter. Breakfast was superb with omelettes made to order and a good selection of fruits, cheeses, cold cuts, and numerous varieties of tea as well as coffees, juices and even sparkling wine. In the afternoons there were complimentary teas, cake, Read more[SPLIT]Read lessand sweets. No two rooms at the Altstadt are identical. Our room had a baroque theme due to its view of the nearby baroque Saint Ulrich church. Other rooms have other themes and designs. There are interesting works of art throughout the building. Staff were all friendly and professional.

Excellent location, 10 minutes walk from Museum Quarter and U-Bahn, with a bus from Marianhilfer stopping across the street. Beautiful property with art everywhere.

Warm and relaxing atmosphere, helpful staff and good location

Staff at Altstadt were very helpful with navigating the city and sights. The hotel pluses are easy walking access to Vienna museum district, nearby restaurants, great breakfast, lounge area for drinks and relaxing that feels like a living room and the art is fun. The negatives were small room with awkward Read more[SPLIT]Read lessbathroom arrangement - sink was in room next to bed— and the internet was very spotty from our room and worked best in the hallway.
