Book the The Amauris Vienna with VIP Benefits

Nestled on the historic Ringstrasse in the heart of Vienna, The Amauris Vienna is not merely a hotel - it is an experience. Housed in a meticulously restored 19th-century palais, the luxury boutique hotel marries cultural heritage with cutting-edge design and personalized hospitality. Since its grand opening in February 2023, The Amauris has swiftly become one of the city's most talked-about addresses, offering a new definition of elegance for discerning travelers.

A Vision Reimagined

Formerly known as The Ring Hotel, the transformation into The Amauris Vienna marked more than a name change. It signaled a bold reimagining of what a luxury hotel can be in the 21st century. With its name inspired by the majestic Amauris butterfly—symbolizing beauty, transformation, and international exploration—the hotel draws a parallel to the global guests who journey to Vienna to discover its timeless charm.

The rebranding was not only recognized by its guests but also by industry leaders. The Amauris Vienna received the prestigious Distinction Award from the REBRAND™ 100® Global Awards, applauding its innovative visual identity and contemporary brand strategy. This creative leap was led by Zagreb-based agency Fabul, whose vision was to preserve the building's grand history while crafting a space that is thoroughly modern.

A Gallery of Marble and Art

One of the hotel's most striking features is its architectural and design mastery. Over 160 tons of marble—ranging from Carrara White to Calacatta Viola and Guatemala Verde—adorn nearly every surface of the 4,190 m² property. From the walls and staircases to the 150-kilogram marble-clad doors of each suite, this opulent material adds a unique texture and timeless sophistication to the space.

Interior designer Nikola Arambaši? of OCD Arhitekti created a harmonious fusion between Viennese Art Nouveau and modern Art Deco elements. The design is characterized by clean lines, artistic flourishes, and custom lighting from FLOS and Serge Mouille. Curated furniture pieces from Galotti & Radice, Roche Bobois, Cassina, and Meridiani further contribute to the hotel's aesthetic richness.

Each room and suite is a private gallery of curated artworks. The hotel showcases original pieces from the Breiteneder family's private collection, while the public areas—particularly the staircase painted by Croatian artist Klara Rusan—invite guests to reflect on the power of visual storytelling.

A Symphony of Comfort and Design

With 62 rooms and suites, The Amauris Vienna offers an intimate yet indulgent retreat. Each accommodation is fitted with marble bathrooms, Aqua di Parma amenities, and state-of-the-art smart room systems. Room sizes vary, from the cozy Superior Rooms at 25 m² to the extravagant 120 m² Opera Suite, which boasts a private balcony and can host private dinners or business meetings.

Beyond the refined décor, the sense of serenity in each room is enhanced by the signature fragrance, "Sense of The Amauris," composed of essential oils to evoke a sensory connection with the space. The concept is subtle but unforgettable—just like the hotel itself.

Culinary Artistry at Glasswing

For many guests, the heart of The Amauris experience lies within its restaurant: Glasswing by Alexandru Simon. Awarded three toques by Gault&Millau in 2024 and recently celebrated in Austria's Rolling Pin Awards, Glasswing has cemented its status as one of Vienna's most exciting culinary destinations.

Chef Alexandru Simon—named Newcomer of the Year—brings a deeply personal approach to fine dining. His signature dishes reflect a blend of French roots, global influences, and Austrian culinary tradition. A signature langoustine dish, developed during lockdown, combines cauliflower parfait, vadouvan hollandaise, and Alpine caviar. Such compositions reveal not only Simon's technical mastery but also a deep sense of storytelling.

At Glasswing, sustainability is not a buzzword but a guiding principle. A zero-waste philosophy ensures ingredients are wholly utilized, and a forthcoming rooftop garden will supply herbs and vegetables directly to the kitchen. Whether guests opt for the gourmet seven-course dinner or the á la carte breakfast, every meal is a celebration of flavor and purpose.

Wine, Cocktails, and Conversation

Sommelier Max Populorum oversees the restaurant's 350-bottle wine list with passion and precision. Pairings are thoughtful, often surprising, and designed to elevate each dish without overpowering its nuances. Recently, Glasswing partnered with Maison Perrier-Jouët for a high-profile "Wine & Dine" event, featuring rare champagnes paired with seasonal creations—showcasing Populorum's talent for creating harmony in every glass.

Meanwhile, the Glasswing Bar & Bistro offers a more relaxed setting with all-day dining, signature cocktails, and a sidewalk terrace open year-round. On weekends, live music transforms the venue into a lively hub, while innovative cocktails—like those aged in oak barrels or infused with nut oils—underscore the creativity of Head Barkeeper Maximilian Wölle.

An Urban Oasis of Wellness

Amid the cultural and culinary vibrance, The Amauris Spa provides a tranquil counterpoint. Housed in a historic courtyard with a retractable glass roof, the indoor pool transitions effortlessly into a sunlit sanctuary. Guests can enjoy a Finnish sauna, steam bath, experience showers, and an "Eisbrunnen" ice fountain.

A Technogym-equipped fitness center ensures wellness routines are uninterrupted, while treatment rooms offer massage and cosmetic therapies. Access is exclusively reserved for hotel guests, ensuring privacy and serenity in every session.

Celebrating Vienna's Seasons

The Amauris Vienna excels in capturing the spirit of the seasons. During Advent, the hotel becomes a winter dreamscape, complete with fur throws, mulled wine, and tableside raclette on its decorated terrace. Guests are welcomed with live music, festive décor, and an exclusive hand-blown Christmas ornament from the Amauris Collection.

For Easter, the hotel introduces a spring matinee with DJ sessions and elegant brunches. In the summer, the terrace becomes a stage for cocktails, while fall brings special wine dinners and artistic installations.

During Vienna's iconic Opera Ball, The Amauris crafts an unforgettable experience—offering cultural excursions, pre-ball dining, and the finest accommodations, just steps from the State Opera.

A Boutique Legacy in the Making

Owned by Johann Breiteneder and operated under Breiteneder Immobilien Parking AG, The Amauris Vienna is part of the esteemed Relais & Châteaux association. This affiliation speaks to its commitment to excellence, authenticity, and local flavor. The hotel is the first in a planned boutique hotel group, with future properties expected in Croatia and Italy.

Their mission is simple but profound: to make every guest feel as though they are staying in the private home of a grand Viennese family.

The Amauris Effect

In a city that prides itself on tradition and refinement, The Amauris Vienna stands apart by honoring the past while embracing the future. It is a hotel where design and substance meet, where every moment is curated with intention, and where guests are invited not just to stay, but to feel, taste, and dream.

For those seeking not just accommodation but inspiration, The Amauris Vienna is a destination unto itself.
