Best AccorHotels in Austria

A trendy, contemporary art hotel designed by French architect Jean Nouvel, Sofitel Vienna Stephansdom stands out in a city that is known for its more traditional style. Inside, custom artwork created by both renowned artists and University of Vienna art students is everywhere. Color fills the lobby and Das LOFT Restaurant, which features bold hues on its ceiling. Located on the 18th floor, Das LOFT Restaurant boasts floor-to-ceiling windows with views of St. Stephen's Cathedral, a walk-in wine cellar and innovative cuisine that recent patrons called "exquisite." The guest rooms, on the other hand, are all white: The linens, floors, ceiling, bathrooms and furniture are stark white so as not to take away from the panoramic Vienna skyline vistas. Recent guests loved the views, the modern furnishings and the luxury bathrooms with Hermès toiletries and separate showers and tubs, though several said the all-white furnishings were starting to show signs of wear. Guests also pointed out that the rooms were quiet, even those underneath the restaurant.
