Vienna Aficionados Welcome

The 4-star Hotel Beethoven is nestled in culture and cuisine on the bohemian Naschmarkt, opposite the Papagenotor of Theater an der Wien, just a few minutes walk from the Vienna State Opera, Musikverein, Museumsquartier, traditional Viennese coffeehouses, and vibrant shopping streets.

The Beethoven is a family-run boutique hotel with 47 rooms, we have a total of 90 beds for our guests.

A maximum of 40 people can be seated in the breakfast room, and we have 32 seats in our new Bar LVDWIG in the lobby.

We have always placed great emphasis on hygiene and cleanliness, and now we have increased our attention to this. Each room is cleaned with a fresh cleaning kit and several times a day we sanitize all surfaces that are often touched.

Viennese Wine Autumn

Vienna has something unique for a big city: 700 hectares of vineyards. About 140 winegrowers tend to the vineyards on Kahlenberg, Nussberg, Bisamberg, and Mauer - areas where the Danube and the nearby Vienna Woods create an optimal microclimate. Every year in autumn, the Vienna Wine Hiking Day takes place. Visitors can explore the picturesque wine landscape on four different routes. During the Wine Hiking Day, Viennese vintners open their cellars at many stops and offer tastings of exquisite wines and local cuisine. Throughout the year, you can visit Heurigen and immerse yourself in the cozy atmosphere accompanied by traditional Austrian music.

Beethoven's Salon Concerts

Music belongs to Vienna as music belongs to Beethoven. We love this tradition and organize concerts every weekend with chamber music at the highest level, featuring none other than, Viennese classics.
Michael Babytsch on cello and Pavlo Kachnov on the piano are highly talented musicians who present works by Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and other famous composers.
A complimentary glass of champagne is served during intermission. By the way, our Bösendorfer grand piano used to belong to Ms. Ludwig’s mother Sissy, a great pianist.
Enjoy a relaxed intimate evening. All hotels guests are welcome.

Next concert dates are:

Sunday, 17 September at 5:00 pm
Sunday, 24 September at 5:00 pm
Sunday, 01 October at 5:00 pm
Sunday, 08 October at 5:00 pm

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!

Quiz at the Beethoven!

For many years it has been an indispensable part of evening entertainment in England and in pubs all over the world: the Pub Quiz.

Pub Quiz: Guests join together in guessing teams (4 to 7 people) and answer as a team 20 tricky questions from all areas of knowledge.

The winning team of the evening is rewarded with a bottle of champagne; the team that answers all 20 questions correctly hits the current jackpot!

The "Quiz im Beethoven" takes place on the first Tuesday of every month in the hotel's mezzanine. Outrageously difficult and funny questions, together with Viennese delicacies and other classics of upscale bar culture, make heads spin and create a great atmosphere.

If you book quickly, you are sure to be there. You are also welcome to book individually or in pairs, in which case the tables will be mixed.

Take the current dates from our hotel website or ask at the reception - we look forward to seeing you! Also spontaneous, or you can send an e-mail to quiz@hotelbeethoven.at.

Our next dates: October 17, November 14 and December 12, 2023

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, by the way, also open during the daytime which is an advantage as it’s 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.

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.

Artists in Residence

The shutdown of public life is hitting art and culture professionals particularly hard.
So it's all the nicer that a program can now take place in Vienna despite this: The Association of Visual Artists of the Vienna Secession and the Hotel Beethoven jointly announced an artist residency in the fall. Over 200 international artists applied. After a pandemic-related delay, the time has now come: since mid-February, Frenchman Pierre-Olivier Arnaud and Swede Laleh Kaezmi Veisari have been in Vienna. For six weeks, the two will live and work in the city.

International artists in Vienna

In his photographic work, Pierre-Olivier Arnaud questions the nature of images, their manifestations and distribution. His approach joins the tradition of practices based on photographing images; the photographs created by Arnaud are thus always second-hand images, images already seen and used. Whether taken from magazines or taken by the artist himself during his city walks - which are an important part of his practice - they are devoid of any kind of originality. Pierre-Olivier Arnaud, born in 1972, lives and works in Lyon.

Swedish artist Laleh Kazemi Veisariver's interdisciplinary practice combines drawing and painting with sculpture and writing. Through collaborative processes, she explores the social and ecological imaginary. Abstraction, scale and distance are the tools she uses to create installations that measure this framework of analysis and reflection. Her works are in several public art collections in Sweden. Laleh Kazemi Veisari, b. 1983, lives and works in Stockholm.

Employee of the year 2019

From far away Sri Lanka to his beloved new home in Vienna, our employee of the year 2019 is Venura.

1) How did you come to the Hotel Beethoven?
I started 10 years ago as a night porter for 2 nights a week. One year later it was full-time and in 2015 I started early duty at the reception.

2) What do you love at Hotel Beethoven?
That it is a family-run hotel, the Ludwig family is great. You can make short arrangements with Mrs. Ludwig and find solutions for the guests very quickly and flexibly. The team spirit is a big plus at the hotel. We get on very well with each other and also go out together after work. When deciding on new team members, we are also actively involved in the process. And thanks to the early shift I also have enough time for my family and my little daughter.
The concept of the hotel is very good and I like the upscale category and the size. One feels so personally taken care of, not like in a chain hotel.

3) What do you love about Vienna?
In 2000 I came to Vienna from Sri Lanka. I simply love Vienna. The city is as quiet as a temple. In Sri Lanka I lived in Colombo and it was loud, loud, loud. This silence is wonderful. We will stay safely in Vienna, this is my new home.

4) What is a must- see in Vienna?
Of course I like to visit all the classic sights with my private guests, but my favourite is the salt cave in Hinterbrühl. The boat trip in the cave is a highlight for me and my family and also for friends visiting from Sri Lanka.

5) What was your best experience in Vienna so far?
Definitely the birth of my daughter.

6) What do you love about your job?
The guests, I like to talk to the guests. The openness in this job. I also hold Mrs. Ludwig in high esteem. She is like a second mum, she has helped me a lot in my life. You can talk to her about everything and always find a good solution.
The working hours also suit me very well as a family man, I can do a lot with my daughter.

7) What is your favourite place in Vienna?
I like the Stephansplatz very much, it is a very special place. I also feel very comfortable in Grinzing, in the vineyards.

8) Favorite restaurant /hangout?
To relax and unwind my favourite sport to watch is cricket which is unfortunately not very common in Austria, nevertheless, we found a good place to watch our sport: The "Pointers", a classic Irish Pub, cricket fans included!
I can enjoy a favourite taste of my home cuisine Sri Lanka at "Colombo Hoppers" on the Schönbrunner Strasse, in the 5th district.
