Altstadt Vienna
After many, many hours on the plane, I arrived in a Viennese artists’ quarter very tired and late at night. Lo and behold, I had arrived in a stunningly beautiful mansion! In spite of the late hour, I was given a cordial welcome and taken around the Altstadt Vienna Hotel.
Immediately, I felt like I was visiting old friends. Designed by Italian architect Matteo Thun, my room immediately impressed me. I entered a spectacular glass cube with floor heating and showered away any travel strains with fragrant L’Occitane products. They were a gift from the Gods!
After dimming down the crystal chandelier, I fell into the king-size bed like a rock. I still had a few minutes to enjoy my elegantly colored empire before dozing off.
The next morning, I was delighted to find out that I could reach all the major sights and stores on foot from this 7th district location and that my light-filled room was the perfect place to do some work. The hotel staff catered to all my needs with a friendly smile and really made me feel at home. They paid attention to each and every detail. How wonderful!
I wish I could have stayed longer.
