What is it like to stay at the 5 star Hilton Vienna Park hotel, a few steps from Stadtpark, since its renovation?
Hilton Vienna Park: 5-Star Hotel for Wiener Werkstätte Fans
Situated in the famous capital of Austria, Vienna, the Hilton Vienna Park offers modern luxury along with an uncannily well executed Viennese touch. Just steps away from picturesque Stadtpark, this hotel isn't merely another huge cuboid, thanks to its thorough renovation in the middle of the pandemic.
Hilton Vienna Park: A 5-Star Luxury Hotel
When you first cross the doorstep of the Hilton Vienna Park hotel there is something Viennese about the décor. You just can’t quite put your finger on it. In fact, the interior designers took clever inspiration from the Wiener Werkstätte and Secessionist movement: from the lamps in Josef Hoffmann style and bentwood chairs nodding to the Thonet brothers, to Gustav Klimt like gilded glass screens. How can metalwork and geometric shapes create such an inviting space? If you haven’t been to Adolf Loos’ American Bar in Kärntner Strasse, you likely will after spending an evening under the inspiring ceiling of the hotel’s buffet restaurant.
Following on from the lobby and main areas, you can expect the guest rooms to reflect the same Secessionist style design.
According to the designers' narrative the name ‘Vienna’ derives from the Dutch word ‘vedunia’, meaning ‘forest stream’, which informed the studio’s design approach. (Officially, Vienna originates from the Celtic word "Vindobona", meaning "white base" or "white settlement".)
Conceptually, the interiors focus on the four elements of Air, Water, Earth, and Fire to illustrate the design, colour scheme, and ambience for each area, strengthening the link with nature.
After the extensive 18-month, multi-million-dollar renovation by designers Goddard Littlefair in 2020, the hotel has transformed all guest rooms, restaurants, bars, and event spaces, adding 78 new guest rooms and suites on the 15th floor, bringing the total to 663.
From the newly designed rooms guests can enjoy panoramic views of the Wien River and Stadtpark. Amenities include the largest Executive Lounge in Vienna, offering 24-hour access, private check-in and check-out, complimentary breakfast, and evening drinks in a beautifully designed Art Nouveau space with a sunlit terrace.
