A new boutique hotel in Vienna’s Old Town, Palais Rudolf has the Innere Stadt co-ords to deliver this city’s greatest hits on foot. But, beyond its basecamp creds, there are trappings to tempt flâneurs home, too. Quiet glamour suffuses rooms that enjoy stately townhouse proportions. And a soon-to-open Italian brasserie will only add to its allure. In a neighbourhood of storied stays, this grandly appointed newcomer has the makings of a future classic.

Concierge and free WiFi throughout. In rooms: HD TV, climate control, coffee machine, tea-making kit, minibar, free bottled water, bathrobes, slippers and Le Labo bath products.

Our favourite rooms

With only two suites (beautifully grand with separate living rooms), Palais Rudolf is a hotel that’s all about the rooms: Classic, Superior and Deluxe vary in size, but all have blonde parquet, antique and vintage-inspired furniture and are dressed with fondle-prompting textures in hushed hues. We’re eyeing The Deluxe for its extra space and park views.

Spa

There’s no spa at Palais Rudolf, but a basement gym kitted out with weights and cardio machines is on hand to keep workouts on track while you’re away.

Packing tips

An open mind towards Austrian wines, and luggage capacity to take a few bottles back: the quality of Viennese vintages is a revelation for grape lovers new to the city.

Also

Like all its Miiro sister stays, Palais Rudolf has a Refresh Room, available on request when you want to check in early or check out later and need a shower or change of outfit; it’s stocked with Le Labo bath products and charging points, too.

Children

Welcome, although not especially catered for. One child under 13 can stay on an extra bed in Superior and Deluxe rooms.

Sustainability efforts

From London to Vienna, Miiro hotels operate with a focus on minimising their environmental impact; measures include rigorous waste management programmes, a commitment to working with local suppliers, and reduced housekeeping for lower room categories.

Food and Drink

Top Table

We're not fussing over the fine-detail for taking coffee and eggs; let’s wait until dinner is served.

Dress Code

Demure-and-vintage dovetails with the homage this restaurant pays to its noble namesake.

Hotel restaurant

For now, Baroness Restaurant is the brasserie-style setting for a buffet of breakfast staples and hot dishes, such as avocado toast and eggs cooked to order. Set to open in 2026, this shades-of-coffee, mid-century-modern space will be the setting for Italian cuisine, helmed by Christian Bottitta.

Hotel bar

Overlooking the front of the hotel and Rudolfspark beyond, light-filled Baroness Bar is set to be an extension of the restaurant space, when it opens later in 2026, and will be a welcome refuge in which to refuel with light bites and libations from a polished list of cocktails, wine by the glass and seidels of beer.

Last orders

Breakfast is served from 7am until 10.30am.

Address
Palais Rudolf
Rudolfsplatz 11
Wien
1010
Austria

Palais Rudolf in Vienna overlooks leafy Rudolfspark, a short walk from the Danube in the northeast of the super-central Innere Stadt.

Planes

Vienna Airport welcomes domestic and international arrivals. It’s connected to the city by train, with express and local stopping services that take between 15 and 25 minutes to reach Wien–Mitte (a 10-minute drive away from the hotel). By car, it’s around a 30- to 40-minute journey and staff can arrange private transfers from €80 each way.

Trains

A Continental hub for Austrian and international rail routes, Vienna Hauptbahnhof is a 20-minute cab ride from the hotel; and equally well-served Wien Mitte is a closer 10 minutes by car. Schottenring, on lines U2 and U4, is your nearest U-Bahn station, a six-minute walk from Palais Rudolf.

Automobiles

In such a well-connected city, there’s no need to drive to Palais Rudolf. If you're intent on bringing your own set of wheels, there’s no parking at the hotel, but paid spots are available at Garage Hoher Markt, a five-minute walk away.

Worth getting out of bed for

From your gentrified base at Palais Rudolf beside Rudolfspark, all the Innere Stadt’s classic sights are at your disposal: horse-drawn carriage rides over the cobbles; cathedral tours and shopping around Stephansplatz, and label-worship browsing in Tuchlauben’s designer stores.  

For kitsch Saturdays, seek out the stalls at Saturday flea market Naschmarkt in the sixth district, followed by a foray to the passion-project Third Man Museum (Saturdays only). Shops shut on Sundays here — your cue to ogle the Klimts and Van Goghs in the Upper Belvedere museum; find your favourite painting-studded gallery at the Albertina, or stroll the manicured gardens and gilt interiors slightly out of town at the Schönbrunn Palace.  

Local restaurants

Look beyond the doormen and grand façade of The Amauris hotel on the Ring and you’ll discover Glasswing, where locals as well as guests flock for Alexandru Simon’s top-notch Continent-trotting menu spotlighting regional ingredients. It’s worth the yomp to trad Austrian tavern Gmoakeller in the third district for the waistcoat-pinned waiters, linen-topped tables and wood-panelled salons, where heritage dishes such as goulash and dumplings steal the show.  

Local cafés

Of the capital’s famed Kaffeehäuser, Demel is on your doorstep; brave the queue and your reward is a confection of antique cabinetry, marble panelling and Viennoiserie theatre; pick the prettiest cake you can find and pair with steaming cups of coffee. Locally loved Dolce Pensiero is your around-the-corner pit stop for delicate tartlets, artful bakes and hot drinks.  

Local bars

Its proximity to Petersplatz means that at brasserie and bar, Neue Hoheit, glasses of chilled grüner veltliner and Lavender Blanc Spritzes come with up-close views of St Peter's. There’s little stars-and-stripes sensibility to the storied interiors at Loos American Bar, where scuffed stools and polished-wood panelling set the authentic Austrian tone for mixology classics such as French 75s and dirty martinis.

Anonymous review

By Mr & Mrs Smith

Every hotel featured is visited personally by members of our team, given the Smith seal of approval, and then anonymously reviewed. As soon as our reviewers have returned from this majestically made-over hotel in the Austrian capital and unpacked their Klimt totes and bottles of Zweigelt, a full account of their city break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Palais Rudolf in Vienna… 

Miiro hotel Palais Rudolf may be the new kid on the block, but its fin-de-siècle mansion setting — all stately stonework and fancily framed windows — has decades of stories to tell. 

A key plotline for this historic hideaway is its gentrified location overlooking Rudolfspark: here you’re in the heart of Vienna’s Innere Stadt, where chandeliered Kaffeehäuser, cobbled streets and domed churches are the nostalgia-nudging backdrop for Old-Town wanders.  

Design studio Thurstan’s overhaul of the hotel’s interiors brings the romance at the heart of this tale, with a soothing palette, honey-pale parquet and sumptuous fabrics married with vintage furnishings and period features, deftly glossing over the age gap.  

Leisurely breakfasts unfold in the velvet-benched brasserie, where an Italian restaurant and adjacent café-cum-cocktail-bar will soon star in the hotel’s next chapter. And Miiro’s hallmark attentive service is already writ large throughout. Now, what this finessed fable needs is your own Viennese vignette.
