Hotels Near St. Stephen’s Cathedral: How Close Is “Close Enough”?<\/h2>\n

\u201cRight on Stephansplatz\u201d sounds appealing\u2014but it means: step outside and you\u2019re right in the thick of things. People looking for a hotel near St. Stephen\u2019s Cathedral often have something else in mind: a short walk to the cathedral, good public transportation access, but a quiet evening. <\/p>\n

That\u2019s exactly what describes the location of the K\u00e4rntnerhof. Grashofgasse is a dead-end street\u2014no through traffic, no late-night dining right outside the window. This makes a noticeable difference in the quality of sleep, especially in the bustling center of Vienna. <\/p>\n

As for the Pummerin, the large bell in the North Tower: It can be heard on special occasions\u2014such as New Year\u2019s Eve and major holidays. On ordinary days, it can occasionally be heard from the hotel, depending on the room\u2019s location and the position of the window. <\/p>\n
