A historic and livable city: Apartment Hotels in Vienna
Vienna has it all – a historic city center, green parks, wineyards and an interesting history. Six consecutive times Vienna has been awarded the best place to live and surpassed cities in Switzerland, Denmark and the US. Vienna’s great coffee, its low crime level, the great public transport system and also its green areas make it a very livable city indeed. And that’s not only a benefit to Vienna’s residents, but also to the visitors staying in our apartment hotels in Vienna.
Vienna has a lot to offer in terms of sightseeing. The city center is full of fantastic, historic buildings, which date back to the reign of the Habsburgers. For example, if you stand on Vienna’s Heldplatz (Heroe’s Square), you’ll be able to enjoy a 360 degree panoramic view, which has not changed in more than 200 years. Guests in our apartment hotels in Vienna find themselves on the traces of Emperor Franz Josef and Empress Sissi during a visit of the Castle of Schoenbrunn and enjoy a wonderful view at the castle from the Gloriette. Apart from Vienna’s historic sights, it is a city that attracts a lot of young people too. The Museumsquartier with its several bars serves as a meeting point for many young people.

One must note that Vienna has also gained a lot of foothold as a business city. Thus, business travelers staying in our apartment hotels in Vienna will be confronted with ambitious companies and productive meetings. Vienna is known as the door to Central and Eastern Europe, which is why banks, such as Bank Austria, Raiffeissen or Erste Bank or the construction group STRABAG and the oil company OMV, have set up their headquarters in Vienna. These multinational companies conduct a lot of business in Eastern Europe. Austria as an export country profits a lot from Vienna’s role as the gate to CEE (Central and Eastern European) countries.
