Situated on Riemergasse 7 in the city’s prestigious First District, the property is ideally positioned for travellers seeking Vienna’s rich cultural, musical, and artistic heritage.

For events and meetings, the property features seven multifunctional boardrooms and a 140-sqm ballroom, blending state-of-the-art facilities with Viennese sophistication.
