This building revitalised by BWM Architekten is used as a design hotel of the 25hours hotel company. A shiny blue glass addition augmented this former student hostel from the 1970s by 3 storeys. The spectacular lobby bar with roof terrace discloses a sensational view of Vienna’s historic city and is open to the general public. The interior design studio Dreimeta created a circus-inspired styling that extends throughout the lobby and all 219 rooms of the hotel.
