Hotels and art hotspots in the city of Vienna
Am Wochenende von 26. – 29. September 2019 steht die Hauptstadt Österreichs ganz im Fokus der zeitgenössischen Kunstszene. „Viennacontemporary” findet als DIE Kunstmesse einmal jährlich in der Wiener Marxhalle im 3. Bezirk statt. Mit 110 Galerien aus 26 Ländern bietet die Veranstaltung eine Plattform für Newcomer und etablierte Kunstliebhaber. Selbst wenn Sie sich noch nicht für Kunst interessieren, kann „viennacontemporary” dies rasch ändern. Beim Betreten des roten Teppichs am Eingang der Halle atmet man bereits den Hauch der Kunst Atmosphäre ein. Die großzügige Halle bietet internationalen Künstlern genug Platz, um ihre Werke zu präsentieren. Als Besucher schlendert man durch die Messe und bestaunt dabei Werke, die von Portraits bis zur Bildhauerei reichen. So schafft es „viennacontemporary” auch Kunstneulingen das Thema näher zu bringen. Auf Desire leads a team with well-founded know-how on various topics through the unique exhibition experience.
As a hotspot for culture, lifestyle and art, Vienna relies on a colorful mix of accommodation options to dedicate itself to art outside of the "viennacontemporary". I recommend this carefully selected list of hotels dedicated to ART and DESIGN to anyone who wants to absolutely indulge in this theme during a city trip in Vienna.
The Guesthouse Vienna liegt im Herzen Wiens, direkt zwischen der Oper und der berühmten Albertina. – Die perfekte Ausgangslage, um die charmante Hauptstadt Österreichs zu entdecken. Es bietet ein gefühltes Zuhause, selbst dann, wenn man nur für einen Kurztrip in der Stadt ist. Die Zimmer fühlen sich wie eine private Wohnung an und bieten zugleich jeglichen Luxus, den man sich nur wünschen kann. Den britischen Star Designern Sir Terence Conran und Conran & Partners ist es gelungen, eine Eleganz zu generieren und beim Innendesign Trendbewusstsein, Komfort und Funktionalität zu einem ganz eigenen Stil zu vereinen.
The centrally located Hotel Dast Trieste is only a few meters away from the Kunsthalle am Karlsplatz, as well as the famous Albertina away. The "viennacontemporary" is ideally accessible from here by bus or tram. With more than 300 years of history, the Triest presents itself today as an address in terms of hotel and gastro design. In the hotel's own bistro and bar, relaxed hours can be spent in the informal atmosphere. The large, free-standing bar directly at the entrance to the new bistro is enclosed by a simple, all-round travertine cladding and closes off towards the ceiling with a golden mirror frieze, which shows a historical photograph of the Trieste harbour basin in the shimmer. The harbour that gave its name to the Hotel Das Triest and has now also inspired the new Bistro Porto, which opened in November 2018.
Located on the Spittelberg, in the urban creative 7th district, the Hotel Old Town Vienna as an ideal refuge and starting point for catching the Viennese lifestyle. The Altstadt Vienna houses a remarkable collection of contemporary art. Whether on loan from major museums or owned by Otto E. Wiesenthal; the works by Warhol, Niki de Saint Phalle, Prachensky, Leibowitz, Attersee and Helnwein have three things in common: they all inspire. If that's not enough art, the list of the city's hotspots offers further opportunities to immerse yourself in Vienna's art offerings.
The Andaz Vienna am Belvedere is a hotel inspired by the city's impressive art and architecture, varied cuisine, excellent quality of life and irresistible charm. Following in the footsteps of Prince Eugene of Savoy, one of the leading developers and art collectors of his time, and the man behind Belvedere PalaceThe hotel presents modern, regional art and designs. Those who love this will be thrilled. This is where spectacular art meets modern architecture. The Andaz Vienna am Belvedere was designed by renowned architect Renzo Piano and is uniquely located in the new Belvedere district, surrounded by extensive green spaces and numerous cultural attractions.
Where historic old town flair meets contemporary style: The ambience of the Arthotels ANA Boutique Six fits perfectly with the Viennese Art Nouveau style that characterises the city centre. Only a few minutes' walk from the city centre and the shopping street Mariahilfer Straße, the Arthotel ANA Boutique Six is a harmonious oasis of peace where you can relax with a view of the greenery. The modernly designed interior of the rooms, which combine classic style elements with lively and tasteful colours, contribute to a feel-good ambience after a turbulent day at the trade fair.
The Hotel "The Tigra impresses with its comfort, hospitality and exquisite location in the heart of Vienna. Not far from St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Opera House and the Hofburg Palace, the list of other sights in the immediate vicinity is almost endless. A tribute to Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who stayed here in 1762, when this house did not yet exist as a hotel, can be found in the elaborate details of the hotel interior.
