Not in the city center
Das Capri is a mid-range, 73-room hotel set on a busy tree-lined street opposite the Nestroyplatz subway -- it's two stops away from central Vienna. The hotel has a Viennese tale theme conveyed through photographs and stories about the city, which gives it a playful and personal touch. Rooms, which have fresh, contemporary decor and sitting areas, are impressive for this level of hotel, and some even have balconies. Guests might also want to check out the nearby Novotel Wien City, which has comparable rates and is a bit closer to the city center.
Scene
A '60s-era block-style building on tree-lined street with Vienna-themed floors
Housed in a plain-looking 1960s building with an uninspiring facade, Das Capri doesn't particularly impress from the get-go. Inside, however, is a different story. The hotel lobby has benefited from a 2014 renovation, and is smartly finished in muted greens and grays with a curving, brushed-steel reception desk and chrome hanging ceiling lamps. What makes this hotel different, however, is the Viennese tales theme in which each of the seven floors tells a story about the Austrian capital through words and photos that were taken exclusively for the hotel.
