Das Palais

Heritage Hotel in Vienna: A History That Lives On
 
The Amauris Vienna is a heritage hotel in Vienna whose history is closely tied to the development of the Vienna Ringstrasse. The historic facade, the grand staircase, the original elevator from the late Gründerzeit era, and the high ceilings all evoke an era when palaces served as private stages for social life.
 
In this careful redesign, the historic character was not preserved in a museum-like manner, but rather brought into the present. Italian marble, fine woods, and soft textiles meet clean lines, sculptural lighting, and striking color accents. The result is a home where the past does not feel distant, but rather shapes the character of every moment spent there.

A Journey Through Viennese History

Historic elevator

Looking back at Vienna's history, elevators were a means of transport for the upper classes, installed in palaces and hotels. It was not until 1873, during the World's Fair, that all Viennese had the opportunity to ride in a hydraulic elevator that led to the roof of the Rotunda. The elevator at The Amauris Vienna is reminiscent of the old days: it was put into operation at the turn of the century, and the tiles, staircase, driver's cabin, and cast iron cladding also date from this era.

The Art

Private Art Gallery
The paintings on display at The Amauris Vienna come from a private art collection that has been assembled with great passion over several generations. The collection focuses on significant works of Austrian art from around 1900.
The collection brings together impressive landscape paintings, still lifes, and works of Viennese Modernism. A particular focus is on Viennese Art Nouveau, which can be experienced throughout the building in an extraordinary variety of forms and in a truly impressive way.

Where People Grow Wings

Hubirds by Klara Rusan

Hubirds - A cross between birds and humans.

A human waits for the elevator on the ground floor. After a while, he decides to use the stairs instead. He runs a little, then jumps and finally begins to fly. This unusual staircase, which is rarely used by humans, turns people into Hubirds. The higher the person climbs, the larger their body becomes and the more it is covered with feathers. On the top floor, the seventh, people look for a way out of the building so they can fly outside.

Viennese Elegance Meets International Design

The Interior

The Amauris Vienna combines the Viennese way of life with international influences. The rooms are characterized by modern furnishings and timeless design classics.
