A great building housing a young, vibrant hotel—with often haughty staff—which will appeal to the discerning lower-budget traveller. Fax facilities are available at reception, but internet access is only available in the breakfast room (which doubles as a business room during the day), which may be a drawback. The bar is open 24 hours. Bus services from outside the hotel travel to the 1st and 7th Districts.

An impossibly cool hotel in a district that’s in the process of regeneration. The architecture is redolent of an elegant 1930s cruise liner, with porthole-like windows and smooth, clean lines. Gaze up in awe at the extent of the stunning spiral staircase. The 4th District remains shabby in a way that only ultra-cool up-andcoming areas can. It’s a short walk or tram ride to the Oper and Kärntner Strasse, and very close to the beautiful baroque Karlskirche. Be warned that the park around Karlskirche can be intimidating after dark, home to a community of junkies and beggars.

A great boutique hotel in a recently restored 19th century building. Check out the original artwork. Ideally situated near to Mariahilferstrasse and the Museumsquartier. There are fax facilities at reception plus free internet access in every room. A sauna, solarium and a steam bath are also available. Perfect for those on a smaller budget who still want luxury.

An exquisite hotel with only nine rooms, which makes for an intimate atmosphere, added to by the presence of a small but well stocked library. It’s aimed at business travellers, but check all your requirements are catered for before booking. It’s also relatively inexpensive, making it a good find for those on a smaller budget who need to impress. Situated in the 1st District, Hollmann Beletage is just a few minutes walk from Stephansplatz and a 15-minute walk to the Oper. Reception is only manned 9am-5pm, which could be a problem if you want to send or receive faxes outside this time.

In the heart of Vienna, just a stone’s throw from the Opera House, this is Vienna at its grandest (which doesn’t come cheap). Fall in love with the art nouveau furnishings, superb city views and Michelin-starred restaurant. Most rooms don’t contain fax machines or internet access (although these are available at the hotel’s business centre). Perfect for those who prefer to unwind at the end of the day, rather than carry on working. Meeting rooms are available for hire and the hotel can provide secretarial assistance.
