A historic, upper-mid-range hotel with 309 rooms and Vienna’s largest hotel ballroom, the Savoyen Vienna is popular with business travelers thanks to its financial district location and meeting spaces that can
accommodate up to 1,000 guests. Rooms are modern and come with desks and free Wi-Fi. The generic decor in rooms and common areas might
not be to everyone’s taste, but there’s
little complaint about the breakfast buffet, which has gluten-free options. A small fitness center and terrace with views of Vienna are nice perks.

Scene
With historic exteriors and modern interiors, this hotel is popular with business travelers.
Housed in the former Austrian
State Printing House, the Austria Trend Hotel Savoyen Vienna looks charmingly historic from the outside. Inside, the daylight-bathed atrium in the lounge floods the
place with light, and is the focal point of the hotel. There’s a comely blend of tradition and
modernity, but nothing that stands out as particularly chic or trendy. The interiors of
the hotel are contemporary, with comfortable seating and lounge areas just off
the lobby. Large botanical photographs hang from the walls
in the lounge and in the rooms. Dining areas and other lounges are sleekly decorated with modern designs. The large restaurant on
the second floor has banquet-style seating and bold, colorful Asian-inspired
details. The property attracts a good mix of business travelers and, to a lesser extent, tourists.
Location
In Vienna's center -- on the Rennweg -- and walking distance to the inner ring district
Situated in the heart of Vienna’s diplomatic district, Hotel
Savoyen is an ideal starting point for business appointments in the city
center or for discovering the old town of Vienna. Traveling from the airport takes 20 minutes on the S7 train to Rennweg Station, right next to the hotel. It's a 20-minute walk to the city center, or there’s a tram stop at Rennweg Station from which guests can catch the 71 to the city. The Palace Gardens at Belvedere is a leisurely 15-minute walk away and the Botanical Gardens are a five-minute walk away. Vienna’s State Opera is
20 minutes from the hotel by train.
Rooms
Comfortable rooms have simple decor and large bathrooms.
The medium-sized rooms are decorated with red accent walls and flowery artwork, and come with modern bathrooms and bidets. Each room has a desk and seating
area, along with spacious closets and electronic safes that can accommodate laptops. Pillow menus allow guests to choose what kind of pillow suits them best. Executive Rooms come with free welcome drinks and access to a self-service executive lounge that's regularly stocked with
food; it's a good place for a light lunch or afternoon snack. Light sleepers may want to ask for a
room with inner courtyard views, as it will mask the noise of the busy traffic found in street-facing rooms.
Features
Buffet breakfast with vegetarian and gluten-free options, plus an enormous ballroom
The breakfast buffet at the Savoyen gets rave reviews and includes gluten-free and lactose-free options. Omelets and eggs are made-to-order and there is an excellent
array of fruits, cereals, cheeses, meats, and baked goods. The hotel also has the city's largest ballroom, which, while grand in size, looks dated due to chintzy circular lights. The hotel’s restaurant, Prinz von Savoyen, offers up Mediterranean cuisine in a tangerine-colored environment that may not be to everyone's liking. The fitness center is trendier, with large glass mirrors, but it consists of nothing more than a few cardio machines. There's also a sauna and a steam room on the fifth floor.
