Sofitel Vienna Stephansdom

Home to the best view in town

Jean Nouvel's glass tower stands in stark contrast to the city's historic heart, but the successful execution of the star architect's design has proven an asset. Not only does the hotel offer architecture with artistic ambitions, it features world-class art within. Its real highlight, however, is the unrivalled panoramic view of the Danube canal, nearby Stephansdom and the golden city ahead.
