Rosewood Hotels & Resorts plants its fifth flag in Europe with the opening of Rosewood Vienna in a premium location on Petersplatz. The brand collaborated with Vienna-based firms A2K and BEHF Architects as well as English designer Alexander Waterworth on the design of the luxury property, which evokes an international flair and draws inspiration from the local culture.
“We were able to create an interpretation of Viennese culture and history through a contemporary lens. The hotel reflects the city’s traditions of fine craft and innovative design, alongside cutting-edge style,” says Trish Luyckx, Rosewood’s executive vice president of design and project services. “The transformation of the property by a highly skilled team of designers and artisans has merged the 19th-century neoclassical building’s grandeur into a luxury property made for the 21st century.”
Housed across a 19th-century bank and an apartment building Mozart once called home, Rosewood Vienna radiates authenticity as it showcases Belle Époque architecture alongside modern interiors, resulting in an atmosphere of timeless sophistication. An opulent lobby lounge characterized by floral murals and Art Deco-style seating heralds guests.
The hotel’s Pavilion accommodates up to 120 guests for social events or meetings, and comprises elegant lounges across flexible floorplans. An Asaya is also housed onsite, distinguished by clean architectural lines, stone and carved wood elements, and a soothing color palette.
A thoughtful combination of lush textures, artistic touches, and sleek technology define each of the property’s 99 guestrooms and 27 suites. Historic charm is also on display through a skillfully conceived interplay of marble, wood, brass fixtures, and custom patterned fabrics that nod to the imperial glamour of Old World Vienna. The centerpiece of the guestroom lineup is the 1,800-square-foot presidential suite, which features a master bedroom, separate living room, kitchen, entertainment area, and eight-person dining room.
Forthcoming F&B options will include a show kitchen and an upscale brasserie located on the hotel’s sunny top floor, which is enlivened by commissioned graffiti work.
