5-star design hotel with a glass-walled rooftop restaurant overlooking Vienna

Rooms & Design

Architect Jean Nouvel designed So/ Vienna, combining traditional Viennese architecture with a glass façade, a vertical garden, and video ceilings in the lobby. The 182 rooms have bathrooms with both a bathtub and rain shower, and the minibar is stocked with complimentary water and fruit juices. Soundproofed rooms keep out city noise, while floor-to-ceiling windows offer views of landmarks like St. Stephen's Cathedral or the Ferris Wheel.

Das LOFT Rooftop Dining & Bar

Das LOFT, the entirely glass-walled restaurant and bar on the 18th floor, provides a 360-degree view of Vienna and direct sightlines to St. Stephen's Cathedral. Breakfast is served here as a buffet with à la carte dishes such as eggs Benedict, accompanied by a view that changes with the daylight. On weekend evenings, the bar hosts a DJ and themed dinner nights, drawing both guests and visitors.

Spa & Wellness

The on-site spa covers 750 m2 and includes a hammam, a steam room, a hot tub, and a sauna, with a relaxation area that has sun loungers. Guests can book full-body massages, body scrubs, wraps, and facial treatments, or use the fitness center with cardio and weight equipment. Spa/wellness packages and yoga classes are available, and locker rooms include fitness/spa locker facilities.

Location & Accessibility

Schwedenplatz Underground Station (lines U1 and U4) is across the Danube Canal, less than a five-minute walk from the hotel. St. Stephen's Cathedral is reachable on foot in about ten minutes, and the Prater amusement park is within walking distance. The hotel offers valet parking, an electric vehicle charging station, and airport shuttle service on request.

Services & Business Amenities

The 24-hour front desk provides currency exchange, concierge service, and express check-in/check-out, with luggage storage and lockers available. Meeting and banquet facilities, a business center, and fax/photocopying services are on site for business travelers. Pet bowls, pet baskets, and a designated smoking area are offered alongside dry cleaning, laundry, and ironing services.

Highlights

Architecture: Jean Nouvel design with glass façade and vertical garden

View: 360-degree city panorama from Das LOFT

Wellness: 750 m2 spa with hammam, steam room, and hot tub

Dining: Rooftop buffet breakfast with à la carte options

Location: 10-minute walk to St. Stephen's Cathedral, 5 min to metro

“This property strikes me as a blend of daring design and prime location, right by the iconic St. Stephen's Cathedral; I can see the allure in its challenging aesthetic and panoramic city views from the rooftop restaurant. However, some may find the execution inconsistent with the price point, and a little attention to detail could elevate the stay. It's a distinctive choice for those who value bold statements and central access, but prepare for a potentially uneven experience.”
