Rosewood Vienna

Vienna, Austria

When Rosewood Vienna launched in 2022, it breathed new life into a somewhat staid hotel landscape. In this fairytale city that’s as old as time, it’s arrival could easily read as a trope-filled modern design narrative: take a landmark building – here, a 19th-century bank headquarters and Mozart’s one-time apartment – spruce up some original features, then dress with contemporary trappings. But this slick sophisticate has a far more compelling story to tell. It’s changing the very fabric of Vienna’s hospitality scene. You’ll find it amid imposing art nouveau and rococo buildings on Petersplatz. The rising neoclassic structure has been primped by local architects, who’ve etched out an inner atrium and landed a swoon-worthy, glass-clad rooftop bar and restaurant atop the seventh floor. Vying for attention, grand environs – plush velvets, gilded touchpoints, warm hues, in-room cocktail trolleys, art deco curves, mid-century musings et al – are gleaned from the creative minds at London-based interior design studio Alexander Waterworth. Lounge spaces abound, enticing locals and guests to hang out accordingly. Then there’s the culinary offering, a convivial hotbed of modern Austrian fare. For a taste of the high life, the spa is one of the city’s finest. And the service is exquisite throughout.
