St. Stephen's: 20 minutes

The 25hours Hotel at MuseumsQuartier is in the trendy 7th District, a 5-minute walk from the art museums and cafés at the MQ, and a few more to shopping on Mariahilfer Strasse. A 20-minute stroll will get you to Stephansplatz, and it's 4 minutes to Volkstheater U-Bahn station.

Naschmarkt nearby

The 6th and 7th Districts are full of edgy designer shops and cafés, and when you're hungry it's a 15-minute walk to Naschmarkt for a huge choice of market stands and restaurants. For nightlife, the Gürtel area has lots of bars and clubs under the arches of the elevated railway.

Roof-top drinks

Trendy 1500 FOODMAKERS serves breakfast and meals later in the day (reservations recommended), or you can take advantage of grab 'n' go snacks. There are novel gifts and Austrian products at Kiosk, while Dachboden is the spot for drinks with a view. Burger de Ville is open for lunch and dinner. Amenities also include sauna and steam room.

Clowns, colors, free WiFi

The 217 quirky rooms are individually designed on the theme of circus and arena - think painted murals, bright colors, retro furniture - and the panorama suites have great views. There's free WiFi to keep you connected, and a flat-screen TV for entertainment.
