A luxury hotel in Vienna with responsibility and purpose

For us, sustainability is a mindset rather than a movement.

Our sustainability strategy

Proudly rooted in Vienna’s history

Once a lively Viennese restaurant where Johann Strauss premiered his “Tritsch-Tratsch-Polka”, the building reopened as Hotel Höller for the 1873 World Exhibition. Its historic façade and generous proportions remain to this day. In 2010, the Sans Souci Group carefully reimagined the house, creating a luxury boutique hotel with spa in Vienna that blends history with contemporary elegance.
