Overview
Vienna, the imperial city known for its baroque architecture and rich musical heritage, offers a harmonious blend of history and modernity. Nestled adjacent to the iconic Belvedere Palace, Andaz Vienna Am Belvedere reflects this cultural richness while providing a contemporary, stylish retreat. Its proximity to Vienna’s main train station, a major tram line, and a subway station makes it an excellent choice for both business and leisure travelers. As loyal Hyatt Globalist members, we were eager to experience this property during our four-day stay in Vienna. Andaz Vienna not only met but exceeded our expectations with its impeccable service, thoughtful design, and unparalleled convenience.
Booking
Securing our stay at Andaz Vienna required a bit of planning, as we needed two rooms. We booked a four-night stay in the Andaz Deluxe Suite for 114,000 points and another four-night stay in a King Room for 42,000 points, complemented by a Category 1–4 free night certificate. Check out our Germany/Austria trip report for insights on how we scored amazing deals on flights and accommodations. Prior to our arrival, we emailed the hotel with a request for connecting rooms and an extension of the complimentary breakfast to our entire party. The hotel graciously accommodated both requests, showcasing their exceptional service.

Check In
Arriving by train from Salzburg, we found the hotel conveniently located just a short walk from Vienna’s main train station. For those arriving by plane, direct trains are available providing a seamless connection to the main station, followed by an easy stroll to the property.
The hotel’s spacious and modern lobby is a welcoming space, featuring distinct areas for relaxation, work, and socializing, with an inviting bar at its center. Seasonal touches, such as a giant gingerbread house during our visit, added to the warm atmosphere. A mini fridge stocked with complimentary sparkling and still water near the lobby was a thoughtful touch. Our rooms were ready upon arrival, and the concierge offered a thorough overview of transportation options and must-visit attractions in Vienna.
Room | 1 King View Room
The King View Room exceeded our high expectations. The floor-to-ceiling windows provided breathtaking views of Schweizergarten park, while double-layered curtains ensured complete privacy and blackout conditions for restful sleep.
The contemporary design is warm and inviting, with wooden floors and furniture complemented by a plush blue ottoman chair near the king-sized bed. Thoughtful decorative touches, such as architectural prints and modern artwork, enhanced the aesthetic appeal. Free Austrian snacks like Almdudler and Manner wafers, along with complimentary water, were delightful extras stocked in the mini-fridge.
Storage was abundant, thanks to a well-designed wooden closet near the entrance, which included space for luggage, coats, and shoes. A map of Vienna’s landmarks tucked inside the closet was a nice touch for first-time visitors.
Bathroom
The bathroom design stands out, with a separate toilet closet and a sleek floating toilet seat that aligns with the room’s modern style. The main bathroom is bright and functional, featuring a backlit mirror, a full-body mirror, and a wide vanity stocked with amenities, including a makeup mirror, lotions, tissues, and a clock. Heated floors added an extra touch of luxury.
The rainfall shower was a highlight, paired with high-quality Saint Charles bath products. A unique mirror window feature allows guests to flip a panel and enjoy views of the room—a thoughtful design element that enhances the sense of space.
Room | Andaz Deluxe Suite
The Andaz Deluxe Suite mirrors the luxurious design of the rest of the property while offering even more space and comfort. The suite features a spacious living room furnished with a large couch, an ottoman, and a dedicated office area—perfect for both relaxation and work. Upon arrival, we found a rollaway bed already made and a personalized welcome letter accompanied by snacks placed on the coffee table, adding a warm, thoughtful touch.
The suite includes a large mini fridge stocked with complimentary snacks and drinks, enhancing the sense of hospitality. Ample storage options are available, with a huge closet space featuring a shoe rack conveniently located next to the entrance. A separate powder room near the entrance adds an extra layer of convenience for guests. The walls are adorned with stylish paintings that contribute to the suite’s modern aesthetic, while large windows provide a stunning view of the park and the Museum of Military History.
Bedroom
The bedroom is entirely separate from the living area, ensuring privacy and tranquility. It is equipped with fully blacked-out curtains, a standalone TV, and a comfortable King-size bed with plush bedding that guarantees a restful sleep. Large bedside tables and a bed bench add functionality and style, while various lighting modes allow for customizable ambiance.
Suite Bathroom
The main bathroom in the suite is a standout feature, boasting a spacious layout with a walk-in shower, a separate bathtub, and a double vanity. The heated floors provide an added layer of luxury, making mornings and cold winter nights especially comfortable. The double vanity is equipped with all essential bath amenities and toiletry sets. The walk-in shower is notably larger compared to the standard room and features a rainfall shower head paired with high-quality Saint Charles bath products.
An adjoining toilet room is thoughtfully designed for privacy, and the bathroom connects seamlessly to a large dressing room with ample storage, additional hangers, and a dedicated makeup closet. Guests are provided with a luxurious leather basket containing bathrobes and slippers, enhancing the overall experience. Although we did not use it, the suite also includes a voucher for a complimentary shoe-shining service, with instructions for easy redemption.
Amenities
Andaz Vienna’s amenities are equally impressive. The 24/7 gym on the 4th floor offers state-of-the-art equipment and stunning park views. Guests can also enjoy a spa and sauna, with refreshments available in the fitness center.
Dining options include Eugene21, which serves Austrian cuisine with an international twist, and The Cyclist Café & Bistro, perfect for light meals in an urban setting. The Aurora Rooftop Bar offers panoramic city views and crafted cocktails—a perfect spot for a cozy evening, where we enjoyed spiked hot apple cider and glühwein.
Breakfast
The breakfast experience at Andaz Vienna was nothing short of exceptional. Globalist members can enjoy both an extensive buffet and a made-to-order menu at Eugene21. The buffet features a wide variety of options, including traditional breakfast staples like sausages, eggs, and potatoes, alongside unique offerings such as cured meats, cheeses, and a standout hummus salad. The pastry selection is unparalleled, with an impressive assortment of bread, cakes, and pastries accompanied by a variety of spreads and condiments. For coffee lovers, the handcrafted coffee options, including cappuccinos and lattes, are a must-try and far superior to the buffet’s self-serve coffee.
On especially busy mornings, guests may be seated in The Cyclist Café, which is seamlessly connected to Eugene21 and still offers easy access to the buffet. For travelers with early departures, the hotel provides takeout breakfast boxes.
Activities
The hotel’s prime location ensures easy access to some of Vienna’s most iconic landmarks. The Belvedere Palace, located just steps from the hotel, became our favorite spot for morning runs. Its expansive gardens and stunning architecture provide a serene yet inspiring backdrop.
For those looking to explore further, the D tram line right outside the hotel offers direct routes to the city center, while the nearby Südtiroler Platz metro station provides additional connections across Vienna. One morning, we even walked from the hotel to downtown Vienna, enjoying the city’s charm along the way.
