Hotel Motto, located on Vienna’s most bustling shopping street, is a classy reprieve housed in a Renaissance- and Baroque-style building that has provided accommodations since 1665. Bernd Schlacher, who presides over the city’s hospitality brand Motto Group, personally imagined the 83 dreamy pink-hued Art Deco guestrooms and eight suites, which showcase herringbone parquet floors, custom tiles, and walls covered in fabric that is emblazoned with botanical prints. This joyful 1920s Paris mood is also on display at Chez Bernard. Dotted with curvy banquettes, the restaurant sits underneath a glass dome—a contemporary intervention by locally based Arkan Zeytinoglu Architects that feels as if it has always been there.
