The Companion Vienna
Vienna, Austria · Independent · Accessible Luxury
A late-19th-century Zinshaus at Mariahilfer Straße 127a slept for years with the memory of Café Prohaska, which once sat in a court of white gravel. In March 2026 four hoteliers, among them Kai Hollmann of 25hours and Superbude, opened 138 rooms here and called it The Companion. Piotr Wiśniewski of weStudio kept the columns and the stucco, added a two-story roof, and set the house against Westbahnhof in Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus.
- 138 rooms
- Opened 2026
- Neighborhood: Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus
- Interiors: Piotr Wiśniewski
About The Companion Vienna
- Boca is the restaurant and Calypso the bar, both meant for neighbors as well as guests. The Velvet Suite runs 45 square meters on two levels, with a window onto the Gürtel.
- The four partners signed the Westbahnhof lease at the end of 2023. Hollmann had already opened Superbude in Vienna with them, in the middle of the pandemic.
- A light well came out so the lifts could go in. The smallest room, the Solo, starts at 12 square meters. The attic rooms are called the Nest.
History
The Companion opened in March 2026 in a late-19th-century Zinshaus at Mariahilfer Straße 127a. Café Prohaska once occupied the building, in a court of white gravel. The partners are Kai Hollmann, Florian Kollenz, Christian Lainer, and Michael Todt. They signed for 138 rooms at the end of 2023. Piotr Wiśniewski of weStudio designed the interiors, keeping columns and stucco. A two-story roof addition and the removal of a light well raised the plan. Tophotel says the roof took the count from 100 rooms to 138.
The setting
Mariahilfer Straße 127a, 1150 Vienna, Rudolfsheim-Fünfhaus, directly at Westbahnhof, between Neubau and the Gürtel. Not the Innere Stadt.
