The Guesthouse, Vienna

Führichgasse 10, 1010 Wien, Austria (show on map)

The Guesthouse Vienna is a sophisticated boutique retreat that feels less like a traditional hotel and more like a collection of curated, high-end apartments. Located in the heart of the city’s first district, its interiors were masterminded by the late British designer Sir Terence Conran and his firm, Conran and Partners. Their design philosophy focused on “Viennese restraint,” blending modern functionality with a deep respect for the city’s rich artistic history, particularly the Vienna Secession movement and mid-century Austrian style.

A standout feature of the property is its residential comfort. Each of the 39 rooms is designed as a living space rather than a standard hotel room, complete with cozy window seats, lounge furniture, and personalized touches like espresso machines and complimentary wine. The hotel even enlists local artisans, such as metalsmith Carl Auböck, to create bespoke fixtures that give the space a truly authentic, handcrafted character.

The hotel’s ground floor houses a popular in-house Brasserie and Bakery, which serves as a neighborhood hub and draws inspiration from Vienna’s legendary coffee house culture. With its own wood-oven bakery, it ensures guests have access to fresh pastries and artisanal bread all day long.

Its location is spectacular for culture seekers, sitting directly opposite the world-famous Albertina Museum and just a few steps from the Vienna State Opera. You are also within an easy walk of St. Stephen’s Cathedral and the city’s most prestigious shopping promenades, making it an ideal base for exploring Vienna’s imperial past and vibrant present.

Expert reviews

Fodors review:

“Smack behind the Albertina and the Staatoper, this authentically Austrian boutique hotel is an absolutely delightful addition to the Vienna lodging scene, with fabulous views of the heart of the Innere Stadt.”

Featured as Fodor’s Choice in Vienna.

New York Times review:

“A prime location, generous space and an extremely livable atmosphere make this an excellent option in one of the most colorful capitals in the Old World. The Guesthouse brings modern yet comfortable interior design by Terence Conran to one of Vienna’s most attractive neighborhoods.”

Telegraph review:

“Sharing the same square as the Albertina, Opera House and Sacher Hotel, this property is a favourite among the hotel offerings in the city centre. It is remarkable what happens to a youth hostel in the hands of Sir Terence Conran. The transformation has succeeded on every level.”

I have been to many European cities. But Vienna and The Guest House tops them all. Truly magical.

I looked at many Hotels. As grand as they were, just not for me. The Guest House was perfect in every way and every detail.
From the moment I arrived I knew this was where I wanted to be. Perfect…. Location, room, staff… everything.
I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

Only one small thing. I like 2 firm pillows to sleep on.

Fabulous location and beautiful room.

No lounge area to sit comfortably & relax after a day of sightseeing. Also the air conditioning in the room was really not sufficient.

A beautifully clean, fabulously located weekend!

The staff were all lovely and very attentive. The room
was cleaned a couple of times a day, and a lovely turn down service when they bring you pillow spray. The free mini bar was a huge bonus!

Lovely small friendly hotel in a great location.

The main positive was the very central location which allowed us to walk to most places we wanted to visit in Vienna. Excellent breakfast every morning, the menu was comprehensive with quality food delivered. The staff were so friendly and helpful. A lovely surprise was the completely complimentary mini bar and also refreshed daily, 2 bottles of red and white included!

The room was small, but very modern and clean. This is a very popular place for breakfast and drinks/ meals in the evening so booking a table is essential, not sure guests get any preference so booking a table early.

Highly recommend, great location, spacious room with s perks.ome unique

Location: very central, yet just outside the busy old town center.
Very spacious room with sofa and coffee table.
Great perks: espresso machine brewing great coffee from whole beans. Room bar with water and wine included in price.
Very clean.
comfortable bed.
Great service.

We chose room without a view for a better price. Light came through but it faces a wall. Front facing rooms have great view of a small city park, the opera house and museums

A very enjoyable city break, the location of the hotel made seeing the sight very easy.

Breakfast was superb, there were a very wide range of delicious dishes available. Dinner was similarly excellent.
The complimentarty wine in the mini bar was a very nice extra. Really good location.

The bedroom did not have a dressing table of any kind. Also, there was no room to keep make up in the bathroom without it getting splashed as the shelf was so small. It is a shame there isn't a lounge area for residents

A highly recommended hotel for its outstanding location, comfort, and room quality.

The location is excellent, without a doubt the best of our entire stay in Vienna. The hotel is right across from Café Sacher and the Albertina Museum, just one block from the main pedestrian shopping street and key attractions, and about three blocks from the park with the Mozart monument. Truly unbeatable.

We had a lovely stay. The room was very comfortable, with a spacious bed, and room service was efficient and always on time. The room design is tasteful and well thought out, creating a very pleasant atmosphere.

The staff at reception was helpful, although it’s worth noting that the lobby is very small and feels more like a restaurant reception than a traditional hotel lobby. While the room design is excellent, the hallways and staircase design felt somewhat inconsistent and not fully aligned with the style of the rooms.

The hotel does not have a gym, but they offer an agreement with a nearby gym at a discounted rate. We personally chose to go running instead, and the area offers beautiful parks and pedestrian paths, making it an excellent option for outdoor exercise.

Overall, a highly recommended hotel for its outstanding location, comfort, and room quality.

Breakfast is not included and there is no in-house option, however, this was not an issue at all given the many excellent cafés and breakfast spots nearby at very reasonable prices.

A special and cozy place in the heart of Vienna - recommended!!

This was my second time staying at this place when visiting Vienna. The location and rooms are excellent, and the staff is extremely welcoming. Whenever I am back to Vienna, i’ll make sure I stay there again.

The room was a bit cold, or instructions on the use of the heating were not clear.

Luxury with a perfect location and amazing food.

They really try to make you feel like a guest at their home. They gave my young son a stuffed animal and a coloring book. They helped me take up food to my family from the downstairs restaurant. The food is amazingly delicious and everyone is genuinely friendly and accommodating. I felt as though they were welcoming us into their home however it also felt fancy and a splurge at the same time. We were also able to walk to everything. Something wonderful to see in walking distance in all directions. We would stay there again!
