Hotel Sofitel Vienna Stephansdom, Austria<br />
Masterpiece of contemporary architecture<br />
Atelier Jean Nouvel beat out three other Pritzker winners in a site-specific<br />
competition and Hotel Sofitel Vienna Stephansdom won, taking her place<br />
in the historic heart of Vienna. Wanting to enrich Vienna with a work of<br />
art, Nouvel leaves guests with a sensory experience unlike any other.<br />
Sophisticated and streamlined, the hotel invites you to make your<br />
home-away-from-home in an environment filled with juxtaposition and<br />
sensibilities that inspire your sense of curiosity. An atmosphere of endless<br />
conversation pieces, it is likely that you will leave not only relaxed and<br />
restored but decidedly more satiated as well. Subtle plays of colour,<br />
materials and textures abound in this marvel where minimal form meets<br />
maximum function in a beautiful example of sustainable design. 182<br />
elegant rooms and suites let you conveniently explore the old town, Vienna<br />
Woods, and the famous Ferris wheel. Peel back the layers on concepts of<br />
the possible and impossible over international cuisine at the Das LOFT<br />
restaurant with stunning, wall-to-wall views of Austria’s City of Music.<br />
Or just linger in the 180-square-meter Magnifique Suite entertaining<br />
guests at a table for 12, then pampering in the spa bathroom complete with<br />
whirlpool and Hammam. sofitel-vienna-stephansdom.com<br />
