We are situated in Vienna’s **popular third district**, Landstraße, on a **quiet, tree-lined side street** just one street away from the lively Landstraßer Hauptstraße shopping boulevard, with its many cafés and restaurants. **Central and peaceful,** yet right in the heart of the action. ## The green Prater just minutes away The green Prater is just a **15-minute walk** away. This vast public recreation area, covering around 1 kilometre from the hotel, includes 6 square kilometres of woodland, meadows, playgrounds, wetlands and various bodies of water. It is perfect for relaxing, exercising, walking, picnicking and much more. Vienna's biggest concert venue (Happel Stadion) is also located in the Prater Area. ## Right by the underground just minutes from the city centre Just **100 metres** from the hotel, Rochusgasse **underground station** (U3 line) provides quick and easy connections. From there, you can reach **Stephansplatz in five minutes**, the Opera and Hofburg Palace in just a few stops, and **Vienna International Airport via the City Airport Train (CAT) in only one stop**. The whole of Vienna, from the city centre to its major sights, is within easy reach.**** ### Dining nearby Numerous small restaurants popular with locals are nearby, including Lubin (fish), El Gaucho (steak and international cuisine), and several Asian restaurants such as Akakiko, Matcha Komachi and Ninety-One. **** Rochusmarkt, with its many small food stalls, various Italian restaurants (That’sAmore, Al’Italiana), bars (Das Rochus, Wein & Erben), Ströck Feierabend (modern Austrian cuisine and bakery), and several traditional Viennese cafés. ### Shopping * **Landstraße**, lots of small stores * **The Mall** 950 m * **Galleria** 300 m * **Rochusmarkt** 300 m * **Mall in der Post** 300 m ### Distance to … * **MAK** (Museum of Applied Art) 1,3 km * **Hundertwasserhaus** 900 m * **Belvedere** 2,5 km * **Stadtpark** (Schubert-Monument) 1,4 km * **Ring** 1,6 km * **Prater** 2,2 km * **Kunsthaus** 1,4 km An underground station (Rochusgasse, U3) is just around the corner, while many of Vienna’s sights and restaurants are also within walking distance. The best of both worlds. ## Hundertwasserhaus Hundertwasser House on Kegelgasse is just 900 metres away. Its colourful façades, uneven floors and green rooftops can be viewed free of charge from the outside at any time. Just a few steps further, you will find KunstHausWien, the Hundertwasser Museum, with paintings, architectural visions and a building that is itself a walk-through work of art. Both highlights are easily reached on foot from Hotel SPIESS & SPIESS, without taking the underground and right in Vienna’s third district. ** 4 Min |** 10 Min |** 10 Min ## St. Stephen’s Cathedral / St. Stephen’s Square Vienna’s heart is **just 8 minutes** from Hotel SPIESS & SPIESS.

Climb the South Tower for one of the city’s finest views. The surrounding streets of Vienna’s city centre, including Graben, Kohlmarkt and Kärntner Straße, are perfect for strolling, shopping and exploring.
