You can buy a lot of things these days. Tradition and history can not! When you look around the Glasswing restaurant and bar at The Amauris Vienna, it becomes clear what is meant.
The paintings on display come from an art collection of the owner's family that has grown over generations, a collection that deals primarily with Austrian art of the time around 1900
Viennese lifestyle combined with international influence. This is precisely what The Amauris Vienna represents with its modern furnishings and timeless design classics. In addition to fine lamps from the Italian manufacturer FLOS, you will find high-quality pieces from Vitra, Minotti and Potocco, among others.
The finest Italian marble, Calacatta, Calacatta Viola, Carrara Bianco, Guatemala Verde, Nero Marquina, a total of 160 tons, and the historic stucco in rooms and suites emphasise the special characteristics of the Palais.
A symbiosis of old and new!
Looking back at Vienna's history, elevators were a vehicle of the upper class, installed in palaces and hotels. It was not until 1873, during the World's Fair, that all Viennese had the opportunity to take a hydraulic lift to the roof of the Rotunda. The lift in The Amauris Vienna is a reminder of the old days: It was commissioned at the turn of the century, and the tiles, the staircase, the driver's cabin, and the cast-iron cladding also date from this era.
Hubirds - A hybrid of birds and humans.
A human is waiting for the elevator on the ground floor. After a while, he decides to use the staircase instead. He runs a bit, then jumps and finally starts to fly. This unusual staircase which people use very rarely makes humans turn into Hubirds. The higher the person climbs, the bigger his or her body gets, and becomes more and more covered in feathers. On the last, seventh floor, people are looking for a way out of the building to continue flying outside.
