Altstadt Vienna

$$$ · UpscaleLeashed only

Altstadt Vienna is a boutique hotel in a converted patrician house at the foot of Spittelberg in the seventh district, five minutes on foot from the MuseumsQuartier. Its individually decorated rooms and Red Salon sit within a short walk of the Hofburg and Mariahilfer Straße.

Why it made the list

A design-led city hotel that states dogs are very welcome, prepares a room and a dog bed, and sits in the seventh district with MuseumsQuartier and Spittelberg walks close by.

Good to know before you go

The hotel's own FAQ states dogs are very much welcome, that a suitable room and a small dog bed are prepared, and that the charge is €25 per dog per night. It stands at Kirchengasse 41, 1070 Vienna, a five-minute walk from Volkstheater U-Bahn, and has a round-the-clock team. Facts taken from the hotel's FAQ and terms pages.

Practical notes

  • Tell the hotel at booking that your dog is coming, since only some rooms are set aside for guests with dogs.
  • MuseumsQuartier and the Spittelberg lanes are close for short walks; Vienna requires leads in public and excludes dogs from some ornamental gardens.

What is available on site

  • Dogs indoors
  • Overnight stays

House rules and verification

The pet policy above is summarised from the venue’s own published information and cross-checked against public listings. Policies change without notice anyway, so confirm the current one with the venue before you travel, and keep your dog leashed anywhere that is not a signed off-leash area. Read the full disclaimer.
