Fodor's Expert Review 25hours Hotel Wien

Lerchenfelder Strasse 1–3, Vienna, Vienna, 1070, Austria

A circus theme predominates at this bohemian addition to the city's lodging scene, each room containing exceptionally illustrated wallpaper of old-time big-top themes by German artist Olaf Hajek and quirky vintage furnishings. Larger rooms come with well-equipped kitchenettes, and the power showers are much appreciated after a day of hiking around the city. The Dachboden Loft, a mixture of beach bar, disco, and café, is on the roof, and has a to-die-for view and it's ground-floor restaurant, Ribelli, serves Italian fare in trendy digs. Close to the city center, this place is perfect for the young (or young at heart). In case it wasn't cool enough, guests can reserve bikes and even mini cars to cart their hipster selves around Vienna.
