Rosewood has revealed details for Rosewood Vienna, set to open in July 2022. Situated on Petersplatz in the city’s Old Town, the property marks the brand’s first flag in the Austrian capital and its fifth in Europe, joining Rosewood London, Rosewood Castiglion del Bosco and Hôtel de Crillon, A Rosewood Hotel.

Situated in a historic 19th century building, Rosewood Vienna is a collaboration between A2K Architects, BEHF Architects and interior designer Alexander Waterworth, who have married historic charm and European Belle Époque architecture with modern interiors. As such, the property’s 99 guestrooms and 27 suites feature a thoughtful combination of lush textures, artistic touches and the latest technological conveniences.

The pièce de résistance is the 1,800ft² Presidential Suite, comprising a master bedroom, separate living room, kitchen, entertainment area and eight-person dining room. Each has its own individual character, yet all are united by a neutral palette accented by subtle colour contrasts, reflecting the property’s style of mixing the old and the new. Using an interplay of materials such as marble, wood, brass fixtures and patterned fabrics, the design nods to the imperial glamour of Vienna’s past while speaking to the tastes of today’s traveller.

“I am very excited to welcome Rosewood’s dedicated family of guests to Vienna and showcase all of the beauty and history that our city has to offer through the unique Rosewood point of view,” says Alexander Lahmer, Managing Director of Rosewood Vienna. “Rosewood Vienna is a tribute to the Viennese way of life and will be the focal point of the city’s vibrant and ever-evolving hospitality scene—where culture, cuisine and cosmopolitanism meet. As with all Rosewood hotels, we are committed to the philosophy of honouring the sensibilities of Vienna’s spirit while also incorporating a modern feel and best-in-class amenities.”

Rosewood Vienna’s variety of dining options will all pay tribute to the culinary roots of the Austrian capital while incorporating Rosewood’s brand-standards. The property’s light-filled top floor offers fine dining menus showcasing both European and Austrian cuisine in a variety of spaces. Soon-to-be announced concepts include a casual atmosphere in the property’s show kitchen and an upscale brasserie in the main dining room, which includes an adjacent terrace and garden oasis. The F&B offerings also include a private dining room, which can be booked for intimate gatherings or used as an event space for larger groups. Classic cocktails with an innovative twist will be served at the rooftop bar, designed by Austrian practice Kroenland.

Overlooking the rooftops of Vienna, the bar also provides guests with panoramic views of the city. Both restaurants and bar will welcome guests and locals through a dedicated entrance, with the brasserie offering an elevated dining experience in the evening and an elegant wine list focused on Austrian specialties.

Inspired by a grand apartment once located in the heart of the city, Rosewood Vienna’s Pavilion can host up to 120 people for social events and business meetings. The venue includes three lounges with advanced technology and flexible floor plans with natural light that showcases the building’s original architecture.

Designed as an elegant oasis, the hotel’s spa will present locally inspired offerings that promote the wellbeing of both the body and mind. Comprising five treatment rooms, a “social suite”, a hydrotherapy relaxation room and a fitness centre, Sense, A Rosewood Spa has been designed with clean architectural lines, stone and carved wood elements, as well as a soothing colour palette that conveys a tranquil experience.
