Tradition, history, and art as part of the hotel

Art at The Amauris Vienna

Nowadays, you can buy many things. But not tradition and history! When you look around the Glasswing restaurant and bar at The Amauris Vienna, it becomes clear what we mean.

This image does not have a description but we are working on it.

Private art gallery

The paintings on display come from an art collection that has grown over generations in the owner's family, a collection that focuses primarily on Austrian art from around 1900.

Well-known names are represented here:
Emil Jakob Schindler, the most famous Austrian landscape painter of the late 19th century (and father of Alma Mahler!), Carl Moll, friend of Gustav Klimt and co-founder of the Vienna Secession, Olga Wisinger-Florian, the most important Austrian landscape and still life painter around 1900. A special focus is placed on the works of Alexander Rothaug. Nowhere else is this Viennese Art Nouveau painter par excellence represented as richly and originally as here.

Interior

Viennese lifestyle combined with international influence. This is exactly what The Amauris Vienna represents with its modern furnishings and timeless design classics. In addition to elegant lamps from Italian manufacturer FLOS, there are high-quality pieces from Vitra, Minotti, and Potocco, among others.

The finest Italian marble and historic stucco underline the special character of the palace.

A symbiosis of old and new!

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.

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.
