Henriette Stadthotel Vienna: Young City Hotel Based on the Economy of the Common Good Principles
Located in the vibrant 2nd district of Vienna, not far from the Prater, Henriette Stadthotel offers the ideal starting point to explore the city's cultural highlights and charming corners. A family-run establishment now in its second generation, the hotel is the first in Vienna to embrace the principles of the Economy of the Common Good (ECG), with transparency, fairness, and sustainability shaping daily life here. The motto "A good place for a good life together" — for guests, employees, partners, and the environment — runs like a thread through the entire concept, creating a warm and inspiring atmosphere. The hotel's commitment to this vision is underlined by its winning of the TRIGOS 2024, Austria's most prestigious sustainability award.
Situated directly on Praterstraße, guests are steps away from stylish boutiques, charming cafés, and eclectic restaurants that reflect the creative and vibrant spirit of the neighbourhood. For business travellers, the hotel's proximity to VIECON (Messe Wien) and the UNO City (Vienna International Centre) makes it an ideal choice. Modern, health-conscious meeting rooms designed according to circular economy principles are available for meetings, seminars, workshops, and small events. Early check-in options (subject to availability) and a quiet work environment add to its appeal for professionals on the move.
The 68 spacious rooms and suites, ranging from 25 to 55 square metres, impress with colourful accents and functional layouts designed to accommodate both families and solo travellers. The hotel uses eco-friendly materials and 100% natural organic bedding — completely polyester-free. Cleaning is done entirely chemical-free using micro dry steam, ensuring a healthy indoor climate. A new addition are the Circular Living rooms, designed according to the Cradle-to-Cradle principle, combining healthy living and comfort with minimal environmental impact.
A highlight of any stay is the gold-certified organic breakfast served in the light-filled dining room. Locally sourced and seasonal ingredients take centre stage, with offerings such as homemade granola, freshly baked cakes, home-cooked jams, seasonal fruit and vegetable shots, and traditional Austrian delights like Palatschinken. A variety of vegan and vegetarian options ensures that every guest feels catered to.
For guests wishing to explore Vienna sustainably, the hotel offers a secure bicycle garage with e-bike charging station, direct access to the city's cycling highway, and personally curated insider tips on eco-conscious restaurants and activities. Here, modern comfort, responsible living, and an authentic Viennese way of life come together — a hotel that is not just a place to stay, but an inspiring place to feel at home.
