25hours Hotel at MuseumsQuartier

Guests feel like they’re staying under the big top in the quirky, colorful, circus-themed rooms at the Vienna location of 25hours Hotel. Opened in 2011, this adventure in fun, affordable luxury is found at the edge of Vienna’s Museum Quarter in one of the city’s more fashionable districts. Each room has its own flavor and features wall art by Berlin illustrator Olaf Hajek, including drawings of ringmasters, clowns, trapeze artists, and the occasional risqué character.

25hours doesn’t attract only visitors. Guests can mingle with the hip Viennese crowd while enjoying drinks at the Dachboden, the hotel’s rooftop bar. The staff will even help guests explore the city with a free bike or Mini Cooper rental—a nice choice for reaching the famous Heuriger (wine taverns) outside the city.
