Rosewood Vienna
History & Story
A reinvented Viennese landmark, Rosewood Vienna is as an homage to the heritage,craftsmanship and contemporary culture of the capital set in the heart of its Old Town.
Behind the restored 19th-century façade, a design language blends illustrious grandeur with local artistry. A hand-painted mural blooms across Salon Aurelie’s walls, crystal chandeliers by Lobmeyr cast soft light onto Backhausen textiles and a ceramic vase installation offers an ode to the Danube.
Above it all is space to settle tableside where cuisine celebrates Viennese heritage through fresh expression, seasonal ingredients and Austrian flavor. Indulge in a reimagined Gugelhupf cake that honors tradition and wines from nearby Nussberg, either at the unique rooftop bar or during an urban vineyard experience.

Main Strengths, Special Touch
The diversity of Viennese culture is experienced both inside and out. From a setting in the city’s old town, step into the Vienna State Opera, the Albertina museum and St. Stephen’s Cathedral. Explore the Naschmarkt with a local, follow Mozart’s footsteps in his former home or uncover emerging creativity through the city’s street art scene and private viewings.
Rosewood Vienna is a stay of modern elegance, poised between the grandeur of the capital’s past and the unfolding story of its present.
Location
Vienna conveys the rich heritage of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, stands as a cosmopolitan gateway to Eastern Europe and represents a modern world capital. Steps away from the hotel, in the city’s Old Town, sits the gothic cathedral of St. Stephen, the Hofburg Imperial Palace complex, the seat of the Hapsburgs, with prized collections of silver, porcelain, tapestries, furniture and art, including Old Masters at the nearby Kunsthistorisches Museum. More than a million prints and drawings, late Gothic to the present day, are part of an unprecedented — and unmissable — treasure at the Albertina museum.
Key Sites
Vienna is a city of music, in churches and palaces, concert halls and theaters. Two of the world’s leading performing arts organizations, the Vienna Philharmonic and the Vienna State Opera, perform in spectacular venues, the Musikverein and the Wiener Staatsoper respectively, along Vienna’s famed Ringstrasse boulevard. The Staatsoper is also the venue for a uniquely Viennese tradition, the Vienna Opera Ball, held each February, the most magnificent of more than 400 balls that take place during the ball season.
