Best Hotels in Josefstadt, Vienna
Josefstadt may be one of the smallest districts of Vienna, but it's one of the best, beloved by tourists and lcoals alike for its blend of historic charm, vibrant nightlife, and culture. It is steeped in history, from the 18th-century Theater in der Josefstadt to the Piaristenkirche, one of Vienna's oldest churches. The area is also bounded by the university campus, so expect throngs of students in the little cafes and leafy public squares and indie stores.
Vibrant, authentic and retaining the cafe culture it's historically famous for, Josefstadt makes for a wonderful place to stay in Vienna for sightseeing and soaking up the local culture, particularly because it's dotted with metro stations which make shooting around the city a breeze. The best hotels in Josefstadt, Vienna, are all a paean to its heritage, cultural charm and Austro-Hungarian decadence, ranging from a wine-themed hotel to a romantic property set in an old concert hall.
For a romantic Vienesse city break
- Ruby Sofie Hotel couldn't be more romantic. Formerly Vienna's famous concert hall, Sofiensäle, where Strauss regularly played, it's now a sleek, minimalist hotel within walking distance of Vienna's major sights and the Mitte metro stop. For intimacy and truly gorgeous views, book the indulgent Wow Rooms or Loft Rooms that spill out to private patios overlooking the city's red rooftops.
- Levante Parliament is something of a local institution; particularly the Nemtoi Bar, its 400-square garden a popular local haunt in the summertime. Its spacious designer rooms are perfect for romance, and well-located too, while the lavish buffet breakfast will set you up for a day of sightseeing.
For a wine-themed stay
- If you're a bit of a wine-lover, check out Hotel Rathaus - Wein & Design, a gorgeous boutique hotel — and Vienna's only wine hotel — just a short walk from the U-bahn, the Austrian Parliament, the musuem quarter, and the Christkindlmarkt. Every room isn't only dedicated to the finest Austrian wine-makers, it contains their complimentary wine too!
