Fodor's Expert Review Le Méridien Vienna

The supercool "art and tech" lobby here, adorned with Mies van der Rohe--style sofas and ottomans and nouvelle fluorescent-light panels, is a fine introduction to a stylish and pampering stay in the heart of the city. Guest rooms have glass headboards, contemporary vases, and other cutting-edge items, and cloudlike mattresses, and roomy showers (with three massaging jets) pour on the luxe. Some rooms also have clawfoot tubs. Outside, visual excitements continue, as the tranquil, soundproofed rooms offer views of the Hofburg, Burggarten, and Ring.
