Viennese water
Just turn on the tap and enjoy spring water? This is possible in Vienna. Vienna's high spring water begins its journey in the Styrian-Lower Austrian Alps and arrives in Vienna no more than 36 hours later in drinking water quality, without pumping and under the strictest controls. Vienna is not the most liveable city in the world for nothing!

Poleschinski's unique and innovative concept captures the beauty and uniqueness of Vienna by using patterns developed from photographs of the hotel's surroundings—perhaps you'll recognize the Secession Dome.

LVDWIG - die Bar an der Wien
LVDWIG - die Bar an der Wien
Anyone who knows Vienna loves the contradiction of this city. High culture and coziness, cosmopolitanism and petit bourgeoisie at the same time. Lvdwig is an ode to this unique lifestyle. A hand-picked cocktail menu, music and people as colorful as this city is. The design is by architecture legend Gregor Eichinger, the drinks by Isabella Lombardo. The bar is nestled in the cultural and culinary heart of the city - between the Secession, Naschmarkt and Theatre an der Wien. After enjoying your drinks, you can choose to never leave the hotel and retire upstairs to one of our lovely rooms.
Opening hours:
Monday to Thursday: 17:00 - 24:00
Friday & Saturday: 17:00 - 01:00
4-star hotel situated on Vienna’s Naschmarkt
The location of the Hotel on the Naschmarkt allows Vienna aficionados to dive right into a typical Viennese lifestyle. The market, with its dozens of little stalls and selection of fresh fruit, vegetables and specialities, is a colourful and lively snapshot of Vienna, even more varied on Saturdays, with the farmers' and flea market. Both on the market itself and the areas around it, a trendy restaurant and bar scene has developed.
Interview Barbara Ludwig
Which room is your favorite?
The "Berta Zuckerkandl room", dedicated to a free spirited woman with a big heart.
This room is on the floor featuring strong women at the turn of the century. Because of their similar character - compassionate and at times impulsive - this historic figure reminds me of my mother. Anecdotes exist for both women, their joy of life, spontaneity and their unconventional approach.
Commitment to culture
The culturally committed Ludwig family, who own the hotel, sponsor numerous Viennese cultural institutions, such as the Albertina, the Mumok and the Musikverein and inspire Vienna aficionados to special cultural delights: invitations to previews, exhibition openings, museum visits and preferential ticket orders at the Musikverein.
