A former Art Nouveau residential building, decorated on the outside as well as on the inside with the most splendid elements of its time: "Our historic house has many good foundations from its time of origin: the city architect of the time was able to use the best and most expensive materials when building this house in 1900. Therefore, the substance of the building is of excellent quality, which has allowed us any conversion work around the former Art Nouveau residential building into a modern equipped apartment hotel," says hotel general manager Daniel Rosenberg. Following extensive renovation work in recent years, guests can now enjoy 53 apartments at the Best Western Plus Celebrity Suites. Five apartments are located on the first floor and have their own garden. In addition, the top floor was expanded, so that eleven apartments entice with terraces with a sweeping view over Vienna.
