A Bold New Face for Vienna
Set along the Danube Canal, Radisson RED Vienna represents a different side of the Austrian capital. Rather than looking back to imperial grandeur, the hotel embraces contemporary architecture, creativity, and urban culture. Housed inside the eye-catching building known as The Rock, its crisp white metal façade and gold-tinted windows immediately distinguish it from the surrounding cityscape. It is a hotel that confidently speaks the language of modern Vienna.
Design with Personality
The interiors continue the playful spirit of the RED brand. Vibrant colours, bold graphics, contemporary furnishings, and artistic interventions create spaces that feel energetic without becoming overwhelming. The atmosphere is relaxed and informal, encouraging guests to work, socialise, or simply unwind throughout the hotel’s lively public spaces. At the centre of the property, a large-scale mural by Viennese artist David Leitner transforms the courtyard into an open-air artwork, celebrating the city’s thriving contemporary creative scene.
Rooms Designed for Modern Travellers
The guestrooms combine smart functionality with colourful design. Clean architectural lines, floor-to-ceiling windows, comfortable beds, contemporary furnishings, and playful graphic details create bright, welcoming spaces designed around the needs of today’s traveller. Technology is seamlessly integrated, while bold accents give each room its own sense of character without compromising comfort.
Istros Rooftop
High above the city sits the hotel’s standout feature: Istros Rooftop. Designed as a light-filled rooftop greenhouse with floor-to-ceiling glass and abundant greenery, the space opens onto a dramatic cantilevered terrace overlooking Vienna. From here, panoramic views stretch across the Danube Canal, the historic city centre, and Vienna’s expanding modern skyline. By day it’s an inviting place for coffee or lunch. As evening falls, cocktails, music, and sunset views transform Istros into one of Vienna’s most popular rooftop destinations for both locals and visitors.
Connected to Creative Vienna
Located along the Danube Canal, the hotel offers immediate access to one of Vienna’s most dynamic neighbourhoods. Street art, waterfront cafés, music venues, bars, and cycling paths create an atmosphere that feels very different from the city’s more formal historic centre. At the same time, the Ringstrasse, Stephansdom, and the Innere Stadt remain easily accessible, allowing guests to experience both traditional and contemporary Vienna from a single location.
Why It Works
Radisson RED Vienna brings a fresh perspective to a city often associated with imperial tradition. Its bold architecture, playful interiors, vibrant art, and exceptional rooftop create an experience that feels energetic, contemporary, and unmistakably urban. For travellers who appreciate modern design, creative neighbourhoods, and hotels with personality, RED offers one of Vienna’s most refreshing stays.
