"Keys to the bohemian palace "

AT A GLANCE: Vienna’s Leopoldstadt might have kept its laid-back vibe intact, but it’s tasteful palazzo-living at Hotel Zola. Walking the line masterfully between plush extravagance and elevated minimalism, the hotel is a love letter to European design and its artisans while being a playground for the world’s creatives. Boho-chic rooms and an exciting restaurant on-site, along with a fitness center and sauna, make this romantic city hotel a perfect option for your next Viennese adventure.

Highs & Lows

There is a palatial energy to the space that really makes you feel like a pampered guest in a mysterious person's castle
Rooms are incredibly spacious and designed like mini apartments
As soon as we tucked into bed, we knew it would be a challenge to wake up, and just a mere few minutes before we both fall asleep. Cloud vibes to the extreme!

We stayed at Hotel Zola soon after they opened, so breakfast was not yet available on-site. We took a train to a cafe they partnered with for our complimentary breakfast
The 2nd district is an 'up-and-coming' one. That said, there is little to do within walking distance from the hotel. But the train is right there to take you anywhere!

Hotel Zola is in the city's 2nd district known as Leopoldstadt, named after Leopold I. The area is quiet and mostly residential so staying at Zola is really a respite from the hustle and bustle of the other districts.
