About the Resort
The newest design-led Vienna city hotel
Rosewood Vienna is the city's newest grand hotel — the first new luxury hotel in Vienna in a decade, opened in 2022 on Petersplatz in the heart of the Old Town. Its ninety-nine rooms and suites fill an 1835 neoclassical former bank that holds the very apartment where Mozart composed The Abduction from the Seraglio, in contemporary residential interiors by Alexander Waterworth with Vienna art and edelweiss-inspired brass. The rooftop THE1835 bar opens over the dome of the Peterskirche and the spire of St Stephen's, the Neue Hoheit Brasserie grills European dishes over a josper grill on an Old-Town-view terrace, and the top-floor Asaya Spa uses Augustinus Bader in four treatment rooms with a sauna, steam and round-the-clock fitness in the former bank board room. The location is the centre of the centre: the Hofburg, the Spanish Riding School, St Stephen's and the shopping of the Graben and Kohlmarkt are three minutes away, the State Opera around nine. It is the newest, design-led, rooftop face of Vienna — distinct from the imperial Sacher and the bank-vault Park Hyatt.

Hotel Sacher Wien
Hotel Sacher Wien is the grand imperial Viennese landmark — founded in 1876, Vienna's only privately owned, family-run grand hotel, standing directly opposite the State Opera and home to the Original Sacher-Torte at Cafe Sacher. Its 152 rooms wear imperial jewel tones, antiques and original oil paintings, part of one of Austria's largest private art collections, refreshed by Pierre-Yves Rochon. The Sacher trilogy of bars frames the pre- and post-Opera ritual, the rooftop Sacher Boutique Spa pours a "Time to Chocolate" body line, and the Hofburg, Spanish Riding School and Albertina are steps away. A Leading Hotels grande dame, steeped in Viennese legend.

Park Hyatt Vienna
The Park Hyatt Vienna is the former-bank city hotel with the vault pool — set in the listed 1915 Länderbank headquarters in the Goldenes Quartier, Vienna's most exclusive shopping district. Its signature is the Arany Spa, where a 15-metre indoor pool sits in the former bank vault with the original safe door overlooking it. Around 143 rooms, among Vienna's largest from 35 to 170 square metres, blend restored bank panelling with a modern aesthetic, and the Bank Brasserie dines in the former cashier's hall. St Stephen's, the Opera and the Hofburg are five minutes' walk, with a generous events offering for business. The architectural, business-and-wellness face of Vienna — distinct from the imperial Sacher and the newest Rosewood.

Rosewood Schloss Fuschl
Rosewood Schloss Fuschl is the fairy-tale lakeside castle resort near Salzburg — a 15th-century castle on the turquoise shores of Lake Fuschl, once a Prince-Archbishop's 1461 hunting lodge, reopened as a Rosewood in 2024 and rated the number-one luxury hotel in Salzburg State. Its 98 rooms, suites and six lakefront chalets draw on local flora and Austrian tradition, the Asaya Spa lays indoor and outdoor pools against the lake, and the Schloss Fuschl See Club is a lakeside beach club with direct water access for swimming and fishing. Salzburg, Mozart and the Salzburg Festival are 20 to 30 minutes away, with the Salzkammergut lakes and mountains for hiking and forest foraging. A romantic castle on the water.
