Rosewood, Vienna

Peterspl. 7, 1010 Wien, Austria. (show on map)

Rosewood Vienna is a masterpiece of refined luxury, perfectly situated in the city’s historic Old Town on Petersplatz. Housed in a beautifully restored 19th-century neoclassical building that once served as the headquarters for the Erste Group Bank, the property is a seamless blend of imperial history and modern sophistication. Notably, the site also includes Mozart’s former apartment, where the composer lived and worked during the 1780s.

The hotel’s architectural transformation was led by A2K and BEHF Architects, while the interiors were curated by Alexander Waterworth to reflect a “sense of place.” You’ll find exquisite details throughout, such as hand-painted murals in the lobby’s Salon Aurelie that pay homage to Vienna’s famous botanical Palm House, and custom chandeliers crafted by the 200-year-old glass manufacturer J. & L. Lobmeyr.

One of the hotel’s standout features is the Neue Hoheit rooftop bar and restaurant. It offers a spectacular, unobstructed view of the city’s iconic skyline, including the stunning copper dome of St. Peter’s Church and the spire of St. Stephen’s Cathedral. It’s a sophisticated spot to enjoy contemporary Austrian cuisine while watching the sunset over the baroque rooftops.

Location-wise, you are at the epicenter of Viennese culture. You are only a short walk from the historic Graben shopping street, the opulent Hofburg Palace, and the world-renowned Vienna State Opera. Whether you are exploring the art at the nearby Albertina Museum or simply wandering through the city’s historic squares, the hotel serves as an elegant, central sanctuary for any traveler.

Expert reviews

New York Times review:

“Rosewood Vienna is a luxury hotel in a renovated 19th-century neo-Classical building, where the rooms have been beautifully restored with design references to Viennese history, like the lobby lounge, whose floral murals evoke the Palmenhaus, an Art Nouveau conservatory. The hotel and bar upstairs offer delightful views over the historic center.”

Forbes review:

“Set in a meticulously restored 19th-century building where Mozart once lived, the Rosewood Vienna immerses guests in the heart of the City of Music. The neoclassical landmark has a prime location on Petersplatz, a lively square dominated by St. Peter’s Cathedral, musicians and horse-drawn carriages.”

The Times review:

“The Rosewood’s façade, dating from 1835, has been restored and painted the colour of vanilla ice cream. Inside, the 71 rooms and 28 suites are set around the neoclassical building’s courtyard, once the headquarters of the Erste Group Bank.”

CN Traveler review:

“A much-loved 19th-century bank right in the heart of Vienna’s 1st district, close to many of the city’s most famous sights. It’s quite the grandest opening here in almost a decade. Oh, and Vienna’s the most livable city in the world, according to The Economist—and the quality of life inside the Rosewood is very good indeed.”

Telegraph review:

“Rosewood has arrived with considerable aplomb in this city of music. The hotel’s 99 rooms are housed in a beautifully renovated 19th-century building in the heart of the Vienna, all brimming with a sense of place. A rooftop cocktail bar, restaurant and spa complete the picture.”

Excellent service, central location and wonderful staff

Excellent hotel, staff and location. Food was one of the best I've ever had coming from a hotel.

Turn down service could be more elaborate for the price.

Superbly located, friendly, fine hotel with very good brasserri

The comfort and style of the place were great. It’s a five star hotel that doesn’t disappoint. The staff are exceptionally friendly here, (they really are lovely) and the location is superb - a short walk to all the art galleries (which was the purpose of my visit) other than the Belvedere which is located further out but which is also easily reached by public transport in about 25 minutes. It was also 20 minutes to the airport by taxi which was important to me as it was a whirlwind visit. It’s a very nice 5 star hotel in a lovely part of the Innere Stadt. The Brasserie Hoheit on the top floor serves very good food and wine, is surprisingly very good value and had a very pleasant atmosphere. The trout, sardines were delicious as was the artisanal bread and the Californian Chardonnay preserved by Coravin worked out as only £14.10 per glass - that is unheard of in London. The staff were again so friendly and pleasant.

Well…not much to not like. The gym is on the small side but I’ve seen smaller in five star hotels in Paris. It was fine and I used it once. 2 treadmills, hand weights only but it was fine for me that day. There is no pool.

The room was on the pricey side given its size. I took a junior suite and it was actually about what you’d pay in central London. Very nice but by no means a bargain and a teeny bit small for £1500 per night? Nice large marble bathroom with bath and separate shower though.

Worth the money . Location and service.

Great experience over all . Location is good as it’s middle of all the shops , rooms are big and organized.. cleaners always coming two times a day to clean and organize the room . .. very helpful and attentive staff .. they made my stay wonderful ..

The breakfast was the only bad experience I had .. as I ordered in the buffet omelette and took more than 1 hour to make . Since I couldn’t Waite any longer , because I had to check out .. I didn’t even have my breakfast. .. so it’s advised to tell your customer that making your breakfast will take that long . So they can eat outside the hotel .

Overall amazing hotel, design, food, location. The experience from the staff was dissatisfing.

Great location, amazing design, great food.

Before our arrival the hotel asked if there is any special occasion - we informed them that this is our anniversary. At the CHECKOUT I told them that not even a welcome message waited for us. They said, they asked the housekeeping to organize a small gift, but it seems they forgot. We want to the salon to have some special cakes and coffe. the waiter try to convince us 3 times to go with him to see what conference, training rooms they have. I tried to sign him politely, that we not open for that, cause we here to celebrate, not on a business trip, until i needed to tell him clearly to give us some privacy. In the room it is not clear what is included from the beverages. Lastly while we stayed there there was a promotion on booking for 520 euro per night, while we paid 820 euros.

Gem of a hotel

The room size was very comfortable with a nice view of the area. The location of this property is certainly a plus for me and the staff are very friendly. I for got a bag in the restaurant and remembered a few hours later. The bag was returned without anything missing. So plus for honesty. Concierge were very helpful in directing me to some shops. The restaurant on the rooftop was great for breakfast and later on tea/coffee. It has nice views of the city and an inner courtyard for when the weather is nice to sit out, which it was for the few days I was there.

I thought the room was a bit dark in terms of lights. But maybe it was dimmed and I did not take the time to change that. I did not find any thing I did not like about this property. Would definitely be staying here when I am back in Vienna.

I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for comfort and style.

Great location, the interior design of the hotel is absolutely stunning, the rooftop bar is very cozy and the staff were incredibly friendly.

Another big plus is the parking service, which made things so much easier, especially in a busy city. It was great not having to worry about finding a parking spot.

Real rest and comfort

Starting from the music from the entrance lobby and all the way through to the reception, the architecture and interior design is impeccable. The room is spacious, with mesmerizing details. The drinks and snacks bar left the biggest impression, but overall the room and bathroom are incredible. Room service polite and professional, and it streches onto the rest of the services provided. Absolute enjoyment. 10/10

Loved everything about the Rosewood Vienna!

The location is excellent. It’s walkable to almost every major attractions in Vienna and there is a bunch of shopping options downstairs if you are into boutiques. The room is gorgeous as well, with very modern and artistic interior decor.

I liked everything.

Feedback for the mean front desk woman

Location

Staff at the front was so unkind.
She gave me the worst room with the wall view.
Felt like being a Booking.com user was held against as a disadvantage - getting worse rooms than one deserves.
