InterContinental Vienna
Vienna, Austria · InterContinental · Accessible Luxury
InterContinental Vienna opened 4 March 1964 between the Stadtpark and the Konzerthaus as Vienna's first international chain hotel and the twenty-third InterContinental worldwide, a Pan Am-founded brand transplant. Holabird and Root set the corporate identity; Viennese architect Carl Appel cut the tower to 39 metres so it would not break the Belvedere view to the historic centre. The reinforced-concrete slab, clad in Tyrolean sandstone and mosaic, still reads as early International Style on Johannesgasse.
- 398 rooms
- Opened 1964
- Neighborhood: Stadtpark
- Rooms from 269 sq ft (25 m²)
