History and Philosophy

In 1991, owner Otto E. Wiesenthal, who had previously been employed as a manager in the computer-, banking- and automobile sectors, found the perfect property to fulfill his longcherished dream. As a passionate art collector, he opened a hotel that is both a comfortable place to reside and a gallery all in one. In 2021, the boutique hotel celebrated its 30-year anniversary. Now as before, this historical building, in which guests and Viennese live door-by-door, is rich in character with a casual atmosphere.

Location and Region

The Altstadt Vienna was originally constructed in 1902 as an apartment building and is located in an area known as the Spittelberg, in Vienna's seventh district. Thanks to many small boutiques and shops, this artists' quarter has become increasingly popular in recent years. Within a five-minute walk, you can reach the Museumsquartier. The boutique hotel is also close to the Ringstrasse and only a ten-minute walk from the former imperial residence Hofburg. Thus, it proves to be an optimal starting point for excursions to the historic center of Vienna or to Mariahilferstrasse, the city's longest shopping street.
