Named after the creative Viennese neighbourhood in which it sits, contemporary hotel Spittelberg has big boots to fill. It’s well-versed in cultural and social capital: you'll find the former in next-door Museums Quarter (or the local artwork in your polished bedroom); and seek out the latter in the mod-Italian restaurant, where DJs spin vinyl as bartenders shake up mezcal-laced cocktails. You never know who you might brush shoulders with in and at Spittelberg, but the likelihood is it’ll be someone interesting.

Our favourite rooms

A soft, minimalist colour palette is the neutral canvas for local artwork and colourful furnishings to shine in Spittelberg’s rooms. We like the Deluxe for its scenic views of the city — some even have a walk-in wardrobe for an extra bit of space to showcase your boutique buys.

Packing tips

A preference for lesser-known, local spots over an in-the-thick-of-it locale; that said, Vienna’s big hitters are still within walking distance.

Dress Code

Day-to-night dressing will see you through from Poco’s breakfast buffet to evening glasses of vino.

Hotel restaurant

At Italian-inspired Poco, you’ll be wanting molto of its flame-kissed pizzas, sharing plates and indulgent struffoli (sweet, deep-fried dough balls). The concept has been crafted in collaboration with London-based pizzeria D4100, so you’re guaranteed to get crispy, wholegrain bases alongside moreish truffle- or nduja-infused dips.

Hotel bar

Locals and visitors alike swing by Poco Bar to start or conclude their nights. Artisanal brews kick days off on a caffeinated note, then mini panuozzi help lay the groundwork for mezcal-laced Negronis, natural wines and signature spritzes — plus DJs spin vinyl and ambient tracks over the weekend. 

Last orders

Breakfast is 7am to 10.30am (until 11am, weekends). Poco opens for dinner from 5pm to 11pm, Tuesday to Saturday. Its bar pours every day from noon until late. Daytime snacks are available noon to 5pm, Sunday and Monday.

Address
Spittelberg
Kirchberggasse 6
Vienna

Austria

Spittelberg hotel sits in its namesake neighbourhood in the museum-heavy 7th District, on the eastern edge of Vienna’s Innere Stadt.

Planes

Vienna International Airport is a 30-minute drive from the hotel.

Trains

Local and long-distance rail routes call at Wien Westbahnhof, a 15-minute drive or U-Bahn ride from Spittelberg. The hotel’s closest station is Volkstheater, where you can hop on line two (purple) or three (orange) to whizz you around the city.

Automobiles

Navigate Vienna by foot or U-Bahn, but if you’re set on bringing your own wheels, the hotel has private parking spaces available on request.

Worth getting out of bed for

Living like a local is the intention at Spittelberg, which is named after the place-to-be neighbourhood in which it resides. Museums Quarter is on your doorstep, where you can start your day admiring Austrian architecture, modern art and smaller cultural spaces, before taking in independent boutiques, such as plant shop Calienna and Danish design store Copenhagen Hus. After you’ve finished browsing, conclude your 7th-District strolls with a classic or contemporary play at grand Volkstheater.  

Take in topiary-framed Maria-Theresien-Platz on your way to fountain-dotted Burggarten — both are leafy gardens with ample people-watching potential. If it’s gourmet souvenirs and lunchtime snacks you’re after, stock up at Naschmarkt, which is open all week but has a dedicated flea market on Saturdays. 

Local restaurants

Bistro Fantasy is a modern aesthete’s dream: it’s kitted out in concrete and chrome, and its internationally inspired plates, hip crowd and natural-wine list bring style and substance in equal measure. Viennese-to-a-tee Restaurant Wiener plates up polished interpretations of schnitzel and strudel in a cosy, bistro-like space. Tian Bistro am Spittelberg brings plant-based respite from typically meaty Austrian cooking; its colourful, veg-heavy dishes are creative and indulgent — enough to appease even the most committed of carnivores. 

Local cafés

At Naltu, liquid diets are made appealing by a menu of cold-pressed juices, strawberry-infused matcha lattes and strong coffee, but signature sandwiches and Turkish-style eggs deliver heartier (but still virtuous) sustenance. Café Comet’s shooting stars are laminated-to-perfection pastries and just-right flat whites made with beans from local roastery, Fürth. 

Local bars

Whether you bring a friend or date to cocktail bar Soulmate, its low-lit, velvet-clad interiors and mixologist-made tipples are a set to send you head over heels. The soundtrack at Needle Vinyl Bar mixes the percussion of cocktail shakers with spinning retro records.

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 local-hangout hotel in the Austrian capital and unpacked their bottles of natural wine and museum-postcard souvenirs, a full account of their cultural city break will be with you. In the meantime, to whet your wanderlust, here's a quick peek inside Spittelberg in Vienna… 

If Smith-approved Palais Rudolf is the mature older sibling, then Spittelberg — Miiro’s more recent opening in the Austrian capital — is the cool younger child. Both of the brand’s Viennese ventures celebrate the city’s distinct sides: stately heritage versus vibrant up-and-comer. 

Spittelberg falls into the second camp. It’s poised in its namesake neighbourhood, by the cultural Museums Quarter. But this boutique-in-feel hotel is a creative epicentre in its own right: bestowed by its café- and boutique-lined locale, as well as considered interiors, boldened by local artwork, ceiling murals and plenty of plants. 

The ground floor is its social locus, with convivial corners and pièce de résistance Poco, a refined take on a pizzeria. Its picture windows open wide in balmier months to bring the district even closer, and weekend evenings are marked by DJ sets and Negroni-shaped nightcaps. Staff are armed with local recommendations, but we’d suggest befriending locals at the bar to be extra in-the-know.
