Andaz to Hyatt Regency

Andaz Vienna Am Belvedere sits three kilometres from the city centre, in the Quartier Belvedere, close enough to walk to Belvedere, the Museum of Military History and Südtiroler Platz-Hauptbahnhof. It opened in 2019, built new rather than adapted from an older shell, and the 303 rooms and suites, sized from 30 to 194 sqm, run along interlocking bridges that meet at a single ground-floor lobby, so reaching a room means crossing open bridges rather than walking closed corridors. Its most distinctive feature is the rooftop bar on the 16th floor, with a view over Vienna, worth arriving in daylight and staying long enough to watch it change. Downstairs, a spa with sauna, steam room and massage sits alongside a gym and fitness facilities, and there's a library for quieter hours. The hotel carries real conference weight too, with 2,200 sqm of meeting and events space including a 705 sqm ballroom, so this is a hotel built as much for the delegate as the leisure guest. Family rooms are available, staff speak English, German, French, Arabic and Turkish, and pets under 5kg travel for a small surcharge. This suits travellers who want new, design-led architecture rather than old-world formality; anyone hoping for a converted palace should look elsewhere in Vienna. Free Wi-Fi runs throughout, check-in is from 3pm and checkout at noon. With Südtiroler Platz-Hauptbahnhof within walking distance, it works as well as a launch point for onward travel as it does a base for exploring the Belvedere itself, a hotel for people who are already half thinking about where they're heading next.\n\nA design-led new build in Vienna's Quartier Belvedere, near the Hauptbahnhof and the Belvedere itself, with a rooftop bar on the 16th floor and 2,200 sqm of event space that makes it as much a conference hotel as a stopover. Not for anyone chasing old Vienna.
