Vienna is a design lover’s dream when it comes to stylish independent design shops, concept stores and vintage rarities.
Walking around the 7th and 6th districts in Vienna, you’ll find so many creative spots that you can easily spend half a day there.
Vienna is famous for its traditional elegance, but definitely doesn’t fall short as far as sophisticated contemporary design is concerned.

Vienna Design Hotels
Staying in a chic design hotel in Vienna is part of the experience of this beautiful city.
Where to stay in style in vienna?
I recommend staying in the city centre.
It is literally packed with things to do and see.
Staying in the centre will allow you reach just about everything on foot.
A couple of attractions in Vienna are a little bit outside the centre (like Schönbrunn Palace or the Danube Tower), but the city has an incredibly convenient public transport system.
the guesthouse vienna
This centrally located hotel, very close to the famous Vienna State Opera and just about any other central attraction, is one of the most highly rated design hotels in the city.

Haven’t been to Vienna yet, it looks very stylish through your eyes. Loved the Queer design shop. The concept reminds me a little of the “Pink is for Boys” brand in Tel Aviv (though the style is quite different).
