The Amauris Vienna

This exquisitely designed hotel is named for the genus of the monarch butterfly and is inspired by the insect’s delicate but powerful beauty. Guest rooms showcase a carefully curated selection of books, artifacts, and art. The high-ceilinged rooms have a soft color palette with sculptural pieces of furniture. Marble bathrooms feature walk-in showers and heated floors.

Glasswing restaurant serves breakfast and dinner in an elegant setting filled with art. The menus offer a modern twist on traditional Viennese food. The Glasswing Bar & Bistro serves all day dining and innovative cocktails, with dishes inspired by a Mediterranean touch. On Fridays there’s a DJ.

Start your morning with a workout in the fitness center which is stocked with Technogym equipment, free weights, and a range of cardiovascular equipment. For deeper relaxation, head to the Amauris Spa for the steam room, Finnish sauna, and glass roof-topped pool. Book a facial, massage, or a wrap.

Make time for a coffee in a traditional Viennese coffee house and explore Vienna’s art and cultural offerings. Both the Albertina Modern and the Wien Museum are walking distance from the hotel. Don’t miss the Hermes Villa, the former summer residence of Empress Elisabeth in the Lainz Game Reserve.
