Altstadt street view

If you start your night off right with a stay at Altstadt Vienna you’ll be amazed at the small town feel you can get from the largest city in Austria and the second largest German speaking city in the world.

Just a few minutes walk from numerous subway stations, Altstadt combines old style Vienna architecture with an artistic slant. By not being on a main street, it’s situated in a quiet neighborhood, enhancing the feeling of residing in your own apartment.

Altstadt lobby

The building was originally constructed in 1902, and owned by a monarchical industrialist as a city palais. After a recent renovation in 2011, the building is easy to enjoy wandering around in as its old world charm gives you the feeling of living like royalty.

In the ornate entrance hall, avant garde paintings and murals on the wall and a creative chandelier above let you know right away that this will be a colorful stay! Walking up the red carpeted stairs and entering through giant wooden double doors to the common area, you’re frequently reminded at one point in time this used to be a palace.
