Since opening in the 6th district on the famous Mariahilfer Straße, the hotel, owned by renowned Austrian entrepreneur and restaurateur Bernd Schlacher, as well as its restaurant Chez Bernard, and bakery Motto Brot, have become staples in the city for locals and visitors alike, thanks to their distinct artistic style and exceptional service.

Over five years, the hotel has been the backdrop to thousands of stories, memorable moments, and milestone occasions - nearly 1,400 birthdays have been celebrated at the hotel and at least seven marriage proposals have unfolded under the Motto roof. Since opening its doors in 2021, Hotel Motto has welcomed more than 213,000 guests.

At Chez Bernard, nearly 400,000 lunch and dinner covers have been served, alongside 86,000 glasses of Crémant, 33,800 plates of Coq au Vin and 29,000 oysters. Downstairs at Motto Brot, over 190,000 croissants have made their way fresh from the oven into the hands of hungry guests.

Chez Bernard is marking five years of service in Vienna with a new Birthday Signature Cocktail, ‘Joie de Vivre’, created exclusively for Hotel Motto’s fifth anniversary. The limited-edition birthday serve is a twist on the hotel’s signature cocktail of the same name, and captures the spirit that has been at the heart of Hotel Motto from the beginning – the joy of living.

Fresh, floral and effortlessly light, Joie de Vivre combines Hendrick’s Gin, Beefeater Gin, cucumber syrup and lychee liqueur. Available for a limited time, the cocktail invites guests to raise a glass, share special moments and celebrate unforgettable evenings.
