Magdas Hotel – Best Hotels

Vibe: inspiring and extremely friendly
Location: on the fringes of Vienna’s largest park, the Praterpark, and a short walk from the city center

Your stay described in a few words: The whole concept of this hotel is brilliantly original and inspiring. Magdas Hotel is a social business created by the charity organisation, Caritas, which seeks to provide employment for refugees in the city. Meanwhile, the creatively upcycled interior décor and the original design is impressive. From the half-cut chairs made into bedside tables to the changing artwork adorning the rooms, each room has its own personality. Also, some of the rooms have a great view onto the city’s iconic Riesenrad (ferris wheel), while there’s a family room with bunk beds ingeniously built into the middle of the room. There are rooms to suit all kinds of travellers, from families to couples to the lone-wolf-traveler.

Recommended if you are: a traveling family, a socially conscious and politically active person who likes the idea of staying in a place with a purpose, a creative looking to be inspired
