More photosHotel Topazz & Lamée is a brilliant duo of boutique properties in the heart of Vienna’s historic first district. The Topazz building is famous for its striking, award-winning architecture, which features oval-shaped windows reminiscent of a silver vase designed by the iconic Koloman Moser. Just a heartbeat away, its sister property, Lamée, draws inspiration from the 1940s Hollywood glamour associated with the legendary actress Hedy Lamarr.
The hotels are committed to sustainability, operating with low-energy systems and a focus on resource-saving practices. Inside, the rooms are masterpieces of clever design; they use uncluttered, open-plan layouts and custom-built porthole windows—each with its own cushioned seat—to maximize space and frame the stunning city views.
A highlight of the experience is the Lamée Rooftop, an exclusive terrace that offers breathtaking vistas over the Vienna skyline. It’s the perfect spot to relax and soak in the atmosphere. For dining, guests can head to the sister hotel’s restaurant, *Bloom*, which features a beautiful rooftop garden and serves locally sourced, seasonal cuisine.
The location is truly unbeatable for those wanting to explore the city. You are just a stone’s throw from the majestic St. Stephen’s Cathedral and within easy walking distance of major cultural landmarks like the Hofburg Palace, the Spanish Riding School, and the Vienna State Opera.
Whether you are here for the design or the history, staying in this “Innere Stadt” neighborhood puts you at the center of everything. With over 60 museums and world-famous coffee houses nearby, it serves as the ultimate home base for any Viennese adventure.
Expert reviews
“This lodging is a nod to 1940’s Hollywood. Its muse was the late Austrian film maven and inventor Hedy Lamarr. At the crossroads of kitsch and cool, there is that glossy sheen to nearly every surface, accented by pink crushed velvet chairs and ottomans.”
Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Vienna.
“Attention to detail, service and creative and useful amenities can make the most well-worn traveler feel like a Hollywood star. The rooftop bar, with its expansive views of the city, has become a Hollywood-worthy hot spot.”
“An ode to Austrian-American starlet Hedy Lamarr, this glamour-puss of a hotel brings a pinch of Hollywood to the heart of Vienna. With its 1930s swagger, gold-kissed rooms, knockout roof terrace and unrivalled Stephansdom views, it’s a stage ready for romantic liaisons.”

Hotel Motto, Vienna
Hotel Motto stands as a stunning intersection of Parisian elegance and Viennese history. Located on the bustling Mariahilfer Straße, the hotel occupies the site of the historic Hotel Kummer, which dates back to the 19th century. Architect Arkan Zeytinoglu led the design, expertly blending the building’s original imperial spirit with a bold, retro-chic aesthetic that feels both timeless and fresh.
CN Traveler“This is a lovingly designed, fully homegrown, and very reasonably priced (from $245 per night) hotel that gives guests a vivid insight into contemporary Viennese life while being swooningly infatuated with 1920s Paris. Oh, and the hotel’s ensuite bakery does the softest, flakiest sourdough croissants in town.”
Anantara Palais Hansen, Vienna
The Anantara Palais Hansen is a magnificent Neo-Renaissance palace located on Vienna’s famous Ringstrasse. Originally designed by the renowned architect Theophil Hansen for the 1873 World Exhibition, the building is a true architectural jewel. While it wasn't used for the fair as originally intended, it has since served various civic purposes before its meticulous restoration into the luxurious urban resort it is today.
Frommers + 3 more“Inside a building designed by Theophil Edvard von Hansen for the 1873 World Expo, the lobby appears as a bright atrium, with skylights beaming onto the tasteful lounge area and reflecting off intricate chandeliers. This place is luxurious, but without the Old-World pomp of some of its Ringstrasse peers.”

DO&CO Hotel, Vienna
The DO&CO Hotel in Vienna is a masterclass in architectural contrast, occupying the upper floors of the iconic Haas Haus. Designed by the renowned postmodern architect Hans Hollein, the building’s sweeping, curved glass-and-steel façade offers a daring, modern counterpoint to the Gothic spires of St. Stephen’s Cathedral directly across the square.
Lonely Planet + 1 more“Up-close views of Stephansdom extend from higher-priced rooms at this swanky hotel, and all 43 rooms come with state-of-the-art entertainment systems and multicountry power sockets. Some have in-room Jacuzzis.”
