This Viennese hotel conceals an urban jungle

Right in the heart of Vienna, a green façade defies the typical style of the city, serving more than just a visual purpose. The Hotel Gilbert is a hip, environmentally conscious oasis amid the urban hustle.

February 20, 2024


In the heart of the Austrian capital, close to sights like the Hofburg, the State Opera and the city center, lies Neubau, Vienna's seventh district. A hub for the city's creatives, its singular charm stems from the neighborhood's creativity and individuality, marking it as a hot spot with boho vibes. Small wonder, then, that the Hotel Gilbert has taken root here.

The hotel's distinctive style runs through the building, immediately catching the eye with its signature aesthetic. Even before you enter, your gaze is drawn to the elaborate green façade, which wraps around the large windows and ensures an improved microclimate in the surrounding area. Once inside, open, Scandinavian-inspired architecture with an urban jungle twist awaits – a true oasis in the middle of the city. The 57 rooms and suites have a modern vintage look, both cozy and practical.

At "&flora", guests and locals alike can start the day with an extensive gourmet breakfast buffet; around noon, a lovingly prepared (business) lunch with modern, creative cuisine and a mainly vegan-vegetarian slant is served. In the evening, you can round off the day at the bar.

As the green façade and the many plants within the lobby suggest, the Gilbert is all about sustainability. Their culinary delights in particular focus on regional products from Vienna and the surrounding area. For example, the coffee comes from local roaster Süssmund, the herbs are from the hotel's own garden on the roof and Viennese farmers supply the hotel with seasonal vegetables and the finest beef and fish. A special highlight: the honey served at breakfast is collected from the hotel's own hives, which are located in Vienna's 17th district.
