InterContinental Vienna at Johannesgasse 28 is a five-star IHG (InterContinental Hotels Group) hotel opened in 1964 as the first five-star hotel in modern Austria and comprehensively renovated in 2017. The property offers 458 rooms and suites in classic imperial-modern aesthetics, the Parlour restaurant with Austrian cuisine, the iconic InterCon Bar in mid-century style and the exclusive Eurotop Club Lounge on the 12th floor with panoramic views of the Stadtpark, plus a full conference centre for 700 guests.
The Johannesgasse 28 location places the hotel between Wiener Stadtpark, Akademie der bildenden Künste and Schwarzenbergplatz, literally next to Konzerthaus and Musikverein - a two-minute walk. The transfer from Vienna Schwechat Airport (VIE) usually takes 25-35 minutes over a distance of about 19 km. The standard route uses the A4, then the A23 Südosttangente with a direct descent to Erdberg and Landstraßer Hauptstraße.
After landing, your chauffeur meets you inside arrivals with a name board, assists with the luggage and walks you directly to the vehicle. InterContinental Vienna has its own spacious driveway at the main entrance from Johannesgasse - drop-off is performed at the reserved porte-cochère with InterCon-uniformed doormen, a few steps from the IHG Premier-style reception.
The specific feature of the last leg: Johannesgasse is a third-district street with good vehicle access, the hotel has a porte-cochère ready to handle conference delegations. The chauffeur coordinates the drop-off moment with the hotel Bell Captain - this matters in the evening when Konzerthaus and Musikverein stage performances.
