Do good while you sleep
As a sustainable hotel in Vienna, we’re committed to protecting the environment, and by staying with us you do good even while you sleep. We run on green electricity, put great value on regional products and Austrian partners, choose natural materials over plastic and the like, and save paper wherever we can.
For us, sustainability goes beyond protecting the environment: it also means taking responsibility for our team, our partners and suppliers, our neighbors and society.

What's the benefit of skipping room cleaning?
With the Green Rate, you save up to 20% when you book direct for 2 nights or more. If you skip cleaning during your stay, you’ll get a €5 voucher at the front desk for the restaurant, café & bar Pergola. On day 4, we bring fresh towels. That way, we save cleaning products, water and detergent together.
Can I charge my electric car?
Yes, at one of the four charging stations in the hotel’s own underground parking garage. Charging is free, you only pay for the parking space: €29 per 24 hours. Parking spaces can’t be reserved, because the garage is public.
Where does the electricity come from?
The hotel runs exclusively on green electricity from hydropower plants in Vorarlberg. On top of that, we have our own solar system on the roof: 96 panels with up to 40 kWp.
How do I get to the hotel without a car?
The hotel is 300 meters from Vienna Central Station. From the airport, the Railjet takes you there directly in 15 minutes, and the city center is three subway stops away.
What's on the table at breakfast?
Organic, regional & homemade: organic pastries from the Teufner bakery, organic milk from Salzburg, free-range eggs from Lower Austria, organic muesli from Tyrol, honeycomb honey from Carinthia and a vegan corner.
