The hotel was built at the turn of the last century in the style of an old Viennese townhouse and has been privately owned since 1971. In 1985 the establishment was completely renovated and in 1988 additional junior suites, an elegant and fully equipped conference hall, a leisurely lounge with reading room and an attractive bar was added, with panoramic views of the famous St. Stephen's Cathedral, the Votive Church and the Town Hall.

The hotel is situated in Jrger Street, around 15 minutes' walk from the Ring Road and University. There is an underground station close to the hotel.

There are non-smoking rooms available.
