The Amauris Vienna
Set within a historic palais on the prestigious Ringstrasse between the Vienna State Opera and the Musikverein, The Amauris Vienna distills boutique luxury into an artful experience. Grand in that very Vienna way, yet intimate enough to feel truly personal, the hotel pairs a contemporary aesthetic with heritage details such as stucco ceilings, marble accents, works of art from the host family’s private collection, and even a charming, century-old elevator.
In a tribute to culture, aesthetics, and the art of living well, the hotel and each room and suite follow a carefully crafted concept, blending historic grandeur with bold, contemporary design and a deep commitment to warm hospitality. Exceptional dining centers on the Michelin-starred Glasswing Restaurant, where Chef Alexandru Simon infuses Vienna’s precise, seasonal cuisine with bold new flavors, delivering both classic and modern interpretations. The adjoining Glasswing Bar & Bistro and terrace offer a relaxed setting for aperitifs and conversation. Guests are invited to unforgettable evenings featuring exclusive menus and exceptional wines during collaborative gourmet events. For those seeking quiet moments, The Amauris Spa’s glass-roofed Wellness Pool, Finnish sauna, ice fountain and treatment room provide a serene retreat. At its core, The Amauris Vienna, a Relais & Châteaux property, is less about spectacle and more about the detail that perfectly harmonizes authentic warmth with first-class service.

Did you know that the hotel’s artwork isn’t decorative staging? The collection has been assembled over generations by the owning family and includes notable Austrian artists like Alexander Rothaug, Emil Jakob Schindler, and Carl Moll. Pieces are integrated into restaurants, suites, and corridors, giving it more of a private residence feel than a hotel gallery.
The Amauris’s building was once a former noble residence which creates a rare combination in Vienna – historic bones plus contemporary calm.
The name “Amauris” comes from a genus of monarch butterfly, which subtly informs the hotel’s design philosophy – delicate, refined, but quietly powerful.
- Combination Stay/Why Visit
-
Vienna is famous for grand, historic hotels, but many feel formal, busy, or heavy. The Amauris offers something surprisingly rare:
It gives you a peaceful, design-forward retreat in the absolute center of the city.
- You’re steps from the Vienna State Opera, the Kärntner Straße, and the Ringstrasse, yet inside, it feels quiet, intimate, and almost residential.
- The hotel blends historic architecture with light, contemporary interiors, so guests get Viennese elegance without the “museum-like” atmosphere.
- With only a small number of rooms, service feels highly personalized and unhurried, a noticeable contrast to Vienna’s larger legacy properties.
