Hotel König von Ungarn – Best Hotels

Vibe: how did I end up in this Wes Anderson dream?
Location: in the city centre of Vienna’s first district, 1 minute walk to Stephansdom

Your stay described in a few words: imagine yourself waking up in a Wes Anderson dream and you’ll imagine something similar to the Hotel König von Ungarn. Quirky wall paper that perfectly match the bed sheets, cleaning staff wearing french maid costumes, and a lobby with an indoor garden – this ancient hotel is delightfully different. We use the word ancient as rumour has it that Hotel König von Ungarn is the oldest hotel in Vienna, dating back to 1746. While it has kept its eccentric old charm, there are some newly renovated rooms here as well. Located 200m behind Vienna’s central square, Stephansplatz, where the city’s main monument the cathedral Stephansdom is located, this is the perfect place for an authentic trip to Vienna (complete with the Viennese brand of weirdness) in which you really get to experience the charm of the old city.

Recommended if you are: looking for the real Vienna experience, a connoisseur of all things culture, still use handkerchiefs
