Located in the Petersplatz square, it’s the fifth European property in the Rosewood Hotels & Resorts portfolio and the brand’s first in the German-speaking market.

Rosewood Vienna occupies the former headquarters of the Erste Group Bank AG, and the 19th-century building includes an apartment in which Mozart once lived. The reimagining of the property has been led by two Vienna architecture firms, A2K and BEHF. 

London interior design studio Alexander Waterworth has overseen the property’s decor, using a neutral colour palette in guestrooms. They feature custom-made furnishings, including a minibar of walnut, leather and locally sourced grey marble. Artworks have been commissioned from a range of international artists in collaboration with art and styling curation agency Atelier27. 

The presidential suite, Hoffmann House, is named after the Viennese modernist architect and designer. The 1,916-square-foot suite includes a master bedroom, living room, entertainment area, a dining room with seating for eight and a kitchen. Located on the third floor, the suite has a separate entrance and can be connected to up to seven guestrooms.

Dining options include Neue Hoheit (New Highness), located on the hotel’s sixth floor. The brasserie serves European dishes alongside Austrian classics, based on seasonal market ingredients. 

The rooftop cocktail bar on the seventh floor draws inspiration from a classic speakeasy, while Salon Aurelie offers a modern Viennese coffee house experience in the hotel’s lobby.

The property is home to Asaya Spa, which is the first at a Rosewood property outside of Asia, and extends over two floors. It offers four treatment rooms and a social suite, a relaxation area, sauna, steam bath and experience shower.
