The Guesthouse Vienna
Vienna, Austria · Independent · Accessible Luxury
On 1 October 2013 a postwar student dorm became 39 rooms at Führichgasse 10. The lot sat empty after the war until a seven-story residence went up in the 1950s, rooms of about 15 square meters, with the Japanese restaurant Yugetsu downstairs. Arkan Zeytinoglu kept the structure, pushed bay windows through the facade, and planted a birch wood on the restaurant roof, while Sir Terence Conran furnished the rooms that look out at the State Opera.

About The Guesthouse Vienna
- Daniel Jelitzka and Georg Muzicant developed the house. Jelitzka, landlord of Café Drechsler on Rechte Wienzeile, led his future hotelier up the dark stairs until a west window framed the opera.
- Zeytinoglu's office won an invited competition and planned the hotel from 2010 to 2013, about 2,800 square meters. The pop-out windows are his reading of the old Viennese bay.
- The maisonette suites run 47 to 52 square meters on two levels. A top-floor courtyard room has a freestanding bath and a sightline to the spire of St. Stephen's.
- Entry-level rooms start at 205 sq ft (19 m²).
History
The lot at Führichgasse 10 was empty after the war. A seven-story student residence went up in the 1950s. Rooms were about 15 square meters. Yugetsu, a Japanese restaurant, occupied the ground floor. Daniel Jelitzka and Georg Muzicant developed the hotel. Arkan Zeytinoglu converted it from 2010 to 2013, adding a roof floor and pop-out windows, and planted birches on the restaurant roof. Sir Terence Conran and Conran and Partners designed the interiors. The hotel opened on 1 October 2013 with 39 rooms.
