hotel: The Guest House Hotel
In the middle of June I spent one week in Vienna and the Guest House Hotel was my first stop.
Despite the fact that I'm Sagittarius and I love to travel, I also feel a little bit sad whenever I'm apart from my family and home. Yes, I'm one of those crazy people who are skyping everyday. So, one of my favorite hotel types are those who are claiming that they are "home away from home". And that's exactly how you will feel if you stay at the Guest House Hotel Vienna.
"Be a guest in your own house!" is a philosophy of this new design hotel which opened its doors in last October (2013.). Surrounded by magnificent Viennese buildings, narrow streets and alleys this cute little hotel has the ideal location to discover some of the best places in Vienna. Together with the Brasserie & Bakery on the ground floor, the hotel is also open to the city's residents creating an inspiring mix of hotel guest and locals.
Highlights
- prime location between the State Opera and Stephanplatz in the quiet neighborhood
- sublime aesthetics by Sir Terrence Conran who combined trends, comfort and functionality into a unique style applied in every room
- ability to welcome guests to your room for a coffee or dinner just like at home
- stunning room view of the Albertina Museum
- reading nook in a room
- spacious bathroom with rainforest shower, additional bathtub and separated toilet

It's cozy and sophisticated hotel with homelike ambience which makes this modern boutique place ideal for temporary city dwellers. Comfort, style and luxury in one package.
You will feel like at home. You will feel honesty. You will feel the heritage.
