If you are looking for the traditional Vienna and want to stay at a hotel of “the old school”, the Schick family is looking forward to your visit at Hotel Stefanie. It is the first address when it comes to hotels in Vienna – quite literally. Hotel Stefanie was first mentioned in a document in 1600 – walk on the traces of the imperial Austria at Vienna\'s oldest hotel and enjoy your stay in the middle of carefully selected period furniture and antiques. Taborstraße is one of the major access roads to the 2nd district. In former times many travellers stopped here to enjoy a meal, for an overnight stay or to attend their businesses. One of the accommodations on Taborstraße was “Hotel Weiße Rose”, today\'s Hotel Stefanie. At that time the Danube was still running through Vienna and the hotel was located close to the river. In this era something like 4-star comfort was probably hard to find. In remembrance of the wedding of Crown Prince Rudolf of Austria with Princess Stephanie of Belgium the hotel was renamed to “Hotel Stefanie” in 1881. The team at Hotel Stefanie wants to keep up what was actually good “in the good old times”. On the other hand one wants to offer the guests modern comfort and all amenities that one would expect at a 4-star hotel. WiFi and antiques, SKY TV and a beautiful library can be compatible. A member of the team noted that from when he was a child he had always imagined a hotel to look like a beautiful, old house with elegant furnishing and international atmosphere. A Viennese hotel dynasty\'s feel for tradition combined with a contemporary management is what makes the Schick Hotels in Vienna so unique. The Schick family has been collecting antiques as well as paintings and sculptures for years and exhibits them at the hotel, which gives it the flair of former eras. A personal selection that guests, who seek individuality, will definitely appreciate. At Hotel Stefanie the team puts a lot of thought into how to make your stay as perfect as possible. Apart from 4-star comfort, which should be a given at any hotel, there are a lot of other services offered.
