Check rates & availability on rosewoodhotels.comA stunning new luxury property in the heart of Vienna's historic 1st district, occupying a meticulously restored historic building steps from the Graben. Exceptional design blending contemporary and Viennese classical aesthetics.
Rosewood Vienna occupies a meticulously restored historic building at Petersplatz 4 in Vienna's 1st District (Innere Stadt), positioned steps from the Baroque Peterskirche and immediately adjacent to the Graben—one of Vienna's most vibrant pedestrian boulevards. Stephansdom, the Gothic cathedral that anchors the inner city, is a four-minute walk, and the Kunsthistorisches Museum and Hofburg Palace complex are reachable on foot in approximately fifteen minutes. The Stephansplatz U-Bahn station (U1, U3) is immediately adjacent, providing direct access to the rest of Vienna.
The building dates to the 18th century and underwent comprehensive restoration before opening as Rosewood's Vienna flagship in 2023. The interior design follows Rosewood's characteristic Sense of Place philosophy, drawing on Viennese Biedermeier aesthetics, Wiener Werkstätte craft traditions, and contemporary architecture in a seamless synthesis. Hand-painted tilework, bespoke textile furnishings, and curated local artworks reference Vienna's exceptional decorative arts heritage throughout. The hotel offers 99 rooms and suites, each individually configured to respect the historic building's layout. Suite categories include rooms with panoramic views over Petersplatz and the surrounding historic roofscape.
The Asaya Spa, Rosewood's signature wellness concept, offers a curated treatment menu rooted in both Western and Eastern wellness traditions, with a particular focus on holistic recovery and longevity. A dedicated fitness facility with contemporary equipment operates alongside the spa. The hotel's dining programme centres on a signature restaurant serving refined Austrian and Central European cuisine with an emphasis on seasonal local produce, paired with an extensive Austrian wine selection. A cocktail bar references Viennese coffeehouse culture in both its aesthetic and drinks menu.
Butler service is standard in all suite categories, and the staff team is experienced in arranging private after-hours access to the Albertina and Kunsthistorisches Museum, bespoke Wachau wine-region excursions, and access to Vienna's Burgtheater and Wiener Philharmoniker. Rosewood Vienna operates a curated cultural programme for guests including private concerts and guided visits to Viennese artisan workshops. The hotel is suited to travellers who value intimate luxury, design excellence, and deep integration with Vienna's cultural life.
