"Luxurious and efficient, this smart business hotel with clean, uniform rooms is just a stroll away from the Opera House."
A recent change of ownership, from Ana Hotels to JJW Hotels & Resorts, means the jury is still out.

By Jamie Dunford Wood
This predominantly business hotel does one thing very well - it is a place you feel immediately at home in. Cool, comfortable and supremely elegant, the rooms come in two shades - green, or white and rose, with a comforting uniformity of shape and size. Bathrooms are in beige and brown marbles, with two sinks, the rooms are spacious with little entrance passageways for a sense of privacy, and there are gizmos like shutter and tv control from the telephone. The prints are repro, but tasteful. There are potted plants in the Edwardian lobby, but upstairs the common parts and cool cream and inviting. The superior rooms offer not a lot extra, so the choice is between the Ringstrasse side - possibly noisy, and the back, which gives onto a modern shopping center tacked on the rear - the hotels’ only drawback. This can be noisy at weekends when the bars are full. Choose a high floor.
