Location & getting there
The Hotel Am Parkring occupies the upper floors of a commercial building on the Ringstraße, directly opposite the Stadtpark. The U4 station Stadtpark is two minutes away, and the centre around Stephansdom and Kärntner Straße is an easy walk. Arriving from the airport is particularly convenient here: the CAT and S7 terminate at Wien Mitte, from where it is a short hop on the U4 or a stroll along the park. The Konzerthaus is also close by - handy for concert evenings. A garage in the immediate vicinity takes the car for a fee.
Who is it for?
With rooms from around 165 euros, the Am Parkring is one of the more affordable ways to sleep in the first district - solid four-star mid-range by Vienna standards, with a prime location on top. It suits first-time visitors who want to explore everything on foot, couples, and anyone who will appreciate the panoramic breakfast on the eleventh floor. If you are after design, a trendy neighbourhood or particularly spacious rooms, look towards Neubau or the apartment houses instead - what you get here is classic, functional hotel-keeping.
