Famed Viennese design hotel reopens as Radisson Blu Das Triest Hotel, Vienna

Originally inaugurated in 1995 as Vienna's first design hotel, the property has long been celebrated for its unique architectural charm and rich history. The building once served as a significant post station on the route between Vienna and Trieste during the Austrian Empire, and the hotel has been known to be a favorite of myriad national and international celebrities over the years. The recent renovation honors this heritage while introducing contemporary amenities to enhance guest experience.

 

Vienna, with its imperial history and cultural refinement, offers an exploration unlike any other. Beyond opulent palaces and grand boulevards, the city reveals hidden gems that cater to high-end travelers seeking the unexpected. Imagine cobblestone streets leading to quaint cafés, secret gardens tucked away amidst urban sprawl, and avant-garde art installations that challenge conventions. Radisson Blu Das Triest Hotel, Vienna, located on the historic Wiedner Hauptstraße in the vibrant 4th district, invites guests to embark on a journey through these urban delights. Just a short stroll from both Karlsplatz and the Inner City, the hotel’s prime location places the city’s most iconic landmarks within easy reach. With excellent transport links right outside, it’s the perfect starting point for those looking to uncover the many layers of Vienna's cultural and historic treasures.

 

 

The 120 rooms and suites at Radisson Blu Das Triest Hotel, Vienna, reflect a thoughtful blend of legacy and evolution. While several rooms retain the hotel’s original clean, minimalist design – a nod to its heritage as Vienna’s first design hotel – many have been newly renovated to align with the Radisson Blu brand’s signature style: elegant, contemporary, and internationally minded.

 

Muted color palettes, high-quality materials, and subtle design accents create spaces that feel both modern and inviting. Natural light plays a central role in the interior concept, with many rooms offering generous windows and views across Vienna’s historic cityscape, some even toward the iconic Stephansdom. Rooms vary in layout and scale, from compact spaces designed for the efficient traveler to expansive suites that include lounge areas, curated details, and, in select cases, private terraces. Every room balances aesthetic clarity with practical comfort, offering a sophisticated retreat in the heart of the city.

 

 

A standout feature of the hotel’s reopening is Bistrot Bertarelli 1894. This restaurant pays tribute to Italian travel pioneer Luigi Vittorio Bertarelli with a menu that fuses classic Italian dishes with modern culinary twists, accompanied by a superb selection of wines. With its chic design and authentic cuisine, Bistrot Bertarelli 1894 is poised to become one of Vienna's top dining destinations. The terrace on Rilkeplatz offers a charming setting for al fresco dining, where guests can enjoy the vibrant atmosphere and delicious fare.

 

 

The iconic Silver Bar is set to reclaim its status as a magnet for celebrities, wanderers, visionaries, and visitors alike. Nestled in the lobby of the Radisson Blu Das Triest Hotel, Vienna, the Silver Bar exudes timeless sophistication. As the warmer months approach, the bar extends into the inner courtyard, turning it into an inviting gathering spot. Guests can enjoy peaceful moments with afternoon coffee amidst summer blooms or retreat to an evening sanctuary that feels like a hidden oasis within Vienna's urban landscape.

 

 

Guests can enjoy a range of exclusive amenities, including a state-of-the-art fitness area, a relaxing sauna, a verdant courtyard, and a spacious terrace.
