A by Adina: Redefining Hotel Living in Vienna

Tucked into Vienna’s tallest residential tower, A by Adina strikes a perfect balance between premium comfort and unbothered cool, quietly redefining the concept of hotel living. Launched in April 2025, this is the first European venture from the Australian-born brand, showcasing premium apartment hotels that seamlessly blend into their modern surroundings while infusing a distinctly contemporary Australian twist.

Hotel Overview

Occupying several floors of a striking skyscraper on the banks of the Danube, A by Adina offers a unique urban retreat. The fifth floor features Lotties, a sleek yet warm in-house bar and restaurant, alongside a 24-hour reception. Guests can unwind at the all-inclusive spa on the fourth level, which boasts multiple saunas and a private heated infinity pool, all while enjoying panoramic views of the Austrian capital.

Conveniently located just minutes from the U-Bahn and a 20-minute drive from the airport, A by Adina provides easy access to Vienna’s historical center without the overwhelming tourist crowds. The nearby Danube Island (Donauinsel) offers a man-made urban beach with al fresco bars, while a Billa supermarket located beneath the tower caters to any late-night snack or wine cravings.

Pro Tip: Keep the hotel address handy for taxi drivers, as it’s still a newcomer on Vienna’s hotel map.

Room Features

All 120 studios and apartments at A by Adina share a philosophy of thoughtful, self-sufficient design. Crafted by the Viennese firm BWM Designers and Architects, the interiors feature eucalyptus greens, oak wood finishes, and dark marble, subtly nodding to the Australian landscape while maintaining a serene Scandi-retreat vibe.

Room options include one- or two-bedroom studio apartments, ideal for couples, each equipped with a fully functional kitchen, wash-dryer, coffee machine, and capsules. The Destination A rooms cater specifically to business travelers and C-suite guests, offering a separate bedroom, stylish lounge, private terrace, and exclusive services such as à la carte breakfast, flexible check-in and check-out times, and complimentary in-room movie streaming. A standout feature is "The Daily Pause," a cocktail service that delivers signature drinks to your suite or serves them in the lounge. Each bathroom is stocked with skincare products from the Australian natural brand, Hunter Lab.

Additionally, pets are welcome, and check-out is set for a very civilised midday, making it a convenient choice for all types of travelers.

Dining Experience

Lotties serves as the perfect intimate setting for meals at any time of day. Designed to resemble a modern living room, it features tasteful furnishings and vibrant pops of color. Guests can enjoy a breakfast buffet or order à la carte, and later indulge in cocktails with a stunning city view. Signature drinks like Negronis and Old Fashioneds infused with smoked eucalyptus are must-tries.

For those looking to explore beyond traditional Austrian fare, Lotties offers a rotating menu of elevated bar bites and shareable plates. During a recent visit, the chefs showcased Austral-Asian flavors with dishes such as crispy karaage chicken, pulled pork bao buns, and gyoza.

Activities and Attractions

Vienna is known for its spacious yet walkable layout, making it ideal for gallery-hopping, palace gazing, or leisurely strolls through manicured gardens. The state-of-the-art wellness center and infinity pool are open from 5 AM to 10 PM, catering to early risers and post-sightseeing relaxation alike. In summer, the pool and relaxing sundeck become a refuge, while in winter, the heated pool at 35 degrees remains inviting.

A top recommendation is to visit a leafy heuriger (traditional Austrian wine tavern) just 15 minutes away by car. Here, guests can unwind in a tranquil setting while savoring local white wines. And of course, no visit to Vienna would be complete without indulging in a classic schnitzel.

In Summary

A by Adina serves as an excellent base for both travelers and long-term business stays. This impressive new addition to Vienna’s hospitality scene offers peace and quiet, combining the space of an apartment with the comforts of a boutique hotel, allowing guests to recharge before diving into everything the city has to offer.
