With all the charm of traditional Vienna and within easy walking distance of the city’s core attractions, The Guesthouse provides a welcome entry into the capital’s modern accommodation scene.
By Helmut Dostal
This chic boutique hotel has 39 rooms with cozy window seats that show off its proximity to the Vienna State Opera and the Albertina museum and art gallery. Kaerntnerstrasse, the iconic see-and-be-seen shopping street, is but a block away. And on returning from your retail therapy, the in-house restaurant will revive you with classic favourites such as schnitzel or goulash. My kind of living for a four-day stay!
Designed by Conrad & Partners, this re-brand of a former 1950s’ student hostel is unfussy, comfortable and very “homey”!
Tasty treats
For those with a sweet tooth, The Guesthouse will serve up a little divine Austrian decadence from some of Vienna’s finest pastry chefs.
