Hotel Daniel – Best Hotels

Vibe: fresh, white cotton sheets, shabby chic crossed with a farmer’s cottage
Location: situated a little outside the city center on a highway, however a short walk from Vienna main train station where subways and trams will connect you with the city

Your stay described in a few words: The creative Austrian crowd behind Hotel Daniel have style, and ideas that put this hotel in a league of its own. There’s a melting boat hanging from this former office building, born-again as a designer hotel, along with some beekeeping going on, on the roof. All of the rooms have a special feature which add something special to the stay, whether it’s a hammock, a room with a view onto the Belvedere palace, or a retro-futuristic caravan trailer parked in the front garden. The café known as ‘The Bakery’ on ground floor serves up great lunches, while the all-you-can-eat breakfast is famous, even amongst the locals in the city.

Recommended if you are: a modern traveller, like hotels that become part of the holiday experience, young couples that like smart luxury
