Room Categories in Detail
-

Compact, quiet, and thoughtfully furnished—the single room at the Hotel Wien in the Kärntnerhof is ideal for solo travelers and business guests looking for a central location in the 1st District. With about 12 m² of space, it has everything you need for a relaxing stay. Organic cotton linens and blackout curtains ensure a peaceful night’s sleep in the quiet side street; a bathroom with a shower, a desk, and all the standard amenities are, of course, included. You’ll feel safe and secure around the clock: Our front desk is staffed 24 hours a day, even for late check-ins.

Small Double Room
The Small Double Room features a French double bed and is the ideal choice for short getaways for two. Elegant and modern, decorated in the typical colors of Viennese Art Nouveau, it includes a desk, storage space, and a bathroom with a shower—despite its compact size, it remains uncluttered and stylish. The original oak parquet flooring and all the basic amenities are, of course, included.
-
Small Twin Room
The Small Twin Room shares the same style as the Small Double Room but features two separate beds—the ideal choice for friends, coworkers, or siblings who want to stay in the heart of Vienna but prefer to sleep separately. Here, too, the room features original oak parquet flooring, Art Nouveau-inspired color schemes, and all the basic amenities. After a day full of new experiences, relax (from May through October) on our rooftop terrace with a view of Vienna’s Old Town.
-
Double and Twin Rooms: Medium & Large
The Hotel Wien’s Medium Double and Twin Rooms offer the perfect amount of space for a city weekend—with plenty of room to unwind, exquisite Italian fabrics, English wallpaper, carefully curated art, and a stylish bathroom, available with either a double bed or twin beds. Organic cotton bedding and blackout curtains are, of course, included. The Large Double and Twin Room gives you even more space: generously sized, also available with either a double bed or twin beds, and well-suited for longer stays or if you appreciate a little more room after a day in Vienna. The quiet side street ensures a restful night’s sleep, while the salon breakfast provides a relaxed start to your day in Vienna. Both room categories are air-conditioned and equipped with all the standard amenities of the hotel.
-
Triple Room
The Hotel Wien triple room is designed for small families or groups of three. With about 30 m² of space, there’s plenty of room for everyone to unwind—after a restful night’s sleep, international newspapers and the latest magazines are available in the lobby and lounge. One child up to age 12 stays free of charge in their parents’ double room. For families of four, we recommend our suites or two adjoining rooms with a double bed or twin beds.
Suites with History
Our three suites don’t have generic names like “Junior Suite” or “Deluxe”—each one tells a piece of Vienna’s history. All suites consist of two rooms and can accommodate up to 4 people. You can find an overview of all three under “Three Suites with History.”
-
Madame Rosa Suite
The name evokes the dazzling past of the entire hotel: In the postwar years, it was home to an establishment known as “Madame Rosa,” which was frequented mainly by Allied soldiers. This history is part of the Kärntnerhof’s legacy—as a small tribute, we’ve dedicated a suite to it. Today, the suite welcomes its guests with curated design, a spacious living area, and a bathroom that echoes the building’s Art Nouveau character.
-
Cathedral Suite
The view of St. Stephen’s Cathedral gives this suite its name—and its special charm. With approximately 43 m² of space, the living and sleeping areas combine to form a spacious retreat, ideal for romantic stays in Vienna or special occasions such as wedding anniversaries or other milestones. Accommodates 2–4 people. Unfortunately, dogs are not permitted in our suites.
-
Christiane Hörbiger Suite
Named after the “Grande Dame” of German and Austrian cinema, Christiane Hörbiger, who had long been associated with the hotel, this suite—measuring approximately 52 m²—is the most spacious in the hotel. A separate living area, carefully selected furnishings, and plenty of natural light make it the top choice for discerning guests. The suite consists of a double bedroom and a smaller room with twin beds, making it suitable for 2–4 people and ideal as a family suite; we provide a crib free of charge upon request.

We provide 5–8 photos for each room category and 6–10 for each suite. The selection of photos includes the sleeping area, the bathroom or shower, details of the materials used, and the view from the window—so you can get a clear picture of your room even before you book.

Breakfast in the salon is included in all room categories—served daily from 7:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m., featuring regional products, organic options, and vegan choices. Learn more on our breakfast page.
What Makes the Kärntnerhof Special—A Family-Run Business with a Viennese Flavor

The townhouse itself dates back to 1900 (architect: Ludwig Schöne). It has operated as a hotel since 1956 and has been family-owned since 1981. Following a careful renovation by Niccolò Grassi (design) and Eline de Potter (color scheme), the hotel reopened in April 2013. The result is a harmonious blend of historic character and contemporary comfort under one roof. You can learn more about the hotel and its team on the About Us page.
