Rosewood Vienna at Petersplatz 7 is a five-star boutique hotel of the Rosewood chain opened in 2022 after a comprehensive restoration of an 1843 building. The property offers 99 rooms and suites in a coherent contemporary interior concept, the Neva restaurant by chef Hadrian Tedla with eclectic cuisine, the salon-style Salon Aurelie, a rooftop terrace with views of Stephansdom and the Asaya Spa. The location at Petersplatz - one of the oldest squares in Vienna with the baroque St. Peter's Church - places the hotel in the heart of the Innere Stadt, a few dozen steps from Stephansdom, Graben and the Hofburg.
Rosewood is the address for connoisseurs of boutique luxury Sense of Place philosophy, couples planning an intimate stay with a Michelin-aspiring restaurant, fashion week guests and Rosewood Hotels & Resorts elite tier members. The transfer from Vienna Schwechat Airport (VIE) usually takes 25-40 minutes over a distance of about 20 km. The standard route uses the A4, the A23 Südosttangente and the A22 Donauuferautobahn with the descent to Schwedenplatz and Stephansplatz.
After landing, your chauffeur meets you inside arrivals with a name board, assists with the luggage and walks you directly to the vehicle. Rosewood Vienna has its own discreet driveway at the main entrance from Petersplatz - drop-off is performed directly at the historic 1843 facade, a few steps from the Sense of Place ambassador-staffed reception.
The specific feature of the last leg: Petersplatz is a strict pedestrian zone of the Innere Stadt, but Rosewood has a vehicle entry permit from Tuchlauben. The chauffeur coordinates the drop-off moment with the hotel concierge - this matters in the evening when Tuchlauben (premium shopping) sees heavy traffic, and on Sundays when St. Peter's Church holds masses.
