Living Hotel an der Oper

• Set on the city’s most famous shopping street, Kärntner Strasse, there’s little at Living Hotel an der Oper by Derag that won’t delight luxury-seekers. All of the guest rooms and apartments are styled in contemporary-meets-classic fashion, with statement-making features from bold Persian rugs through to cool pendant lighting. It's no surprise that the hotel has secured a TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence.

• The hotel piles on an excellent buffet spread first thing in the morning. Head here between 7-11am (11.30am on weekends) to sample international staples and Viennese delicacies.

• Enjoy a discount for the fitness and wellness facilities at John Harris Fitness at Schillerplatz, six minutes away; all you need to do is present your room key and ID. Here, you can hit the gym, or chill out in the pool, saunas or quiet zone.

• Location, location, location: Set on the city’s most famous shopping street, Kärntner Strasse, there’s little at this informal-feeling hotel that won’t delight luxury-seekers. All of the guest rooms are styled in contemporary-meets-classic fashion, with statement-making features from bold Persian rugs through to cool pendant lighting. It's no surprise that the hotel has secured a Tripadvisor Certificate of Excellence. 

• Sightsee 'til you drop: Days can be spent working your way around the fascinating Museumsquartier, visiting the Sisi Museum, Imperial Apartments and Silver Collection at Hofburg Imperial Palace, and queuing for seats at the world-famous Vienna State Opera (lower-priced seats are usually released 80 minutes before each performance). Equally fabulous is browsing for edible treats at the Naschmarkt Flea Market and taking a spin on the 212-foot-high Riesenrad Ferris Wheel for incredible views of Vienna’s skyline.
