IntercityHotel Wien, Vienna, Austria

• Kick back: Vienna is at your fingertips at IntercityHotel Wien, which sits in the city’s bustling seventh district right on Austria’s longest shopping street. You’ll find everything you need for a laid-back and fuss-free stay, with modern guest rooms boasting clean lines, comfy beds, and all the mod cons required for comfortable city-slicking.

• Energising breakfast: Fuel up before hitting the streets at the hotel’s laid-back breakfast buffet, and refuel with drinks and snacks at the lobby lounge throughout the day. Once you’re out and about, be sure to stop off in one of Vienna’s endless traditional coffee houses for a taste of the city’s elegant café society, and don’t forget to try local desserts like Kaiserschmarrn, Esterházy Schnitte or the world-famous Sachertorte.

• Exploring made easy: You’ll be a five-minute walk from Vienna’s Westbahnhof station, where a selection of ultra-efficient metro, tram or bus links will whisk you away to the city centre and beyond. The magnificent Schönbrunn Palace and surrounding park are less than 20 minutes away, whilst in the opposite direction the U3 metro line will take you to the heart of the Innere Stadt, the city’s historic centre where you’ll find bucket-list landmarks aplenty.
