About Le Méridien Wien
- Wehdorn Architekten converted the war-damaged palaces. A thin glass attic hides extra rooms looking over the Hofburg gardens, and the restaurant sits under a roof in the shared courtyard.
- In September 2016, BEHF Architects moved the main door off the Opernring to Robert-Stolz-Platz and turned the old Opernring hall into a bar they called You.
- The Böhlerhaus, a concrete frame with a glass facade and aluminum panels, was the steel firm's headquarters until Böhler sold it in 1989.
- Hotel guests get in free at Kunsthalle Wien, the house's Unlock Art partner. The published door today is Robert-Stolz-Platz 1, about 200 meters from the State Opera.
History
Three Ringstrasse houses from 1861 to 1863, by Anton Ötzelt on Opernring 13 and 15 and by Johann Friedl on Elisabethstraße 14, plus Roland Rainer's Böhlerhaus of 1956 to 1958, became Le Méridien Wien on 11 November 2003. Breiteneder Immobilien bought the tired block in 1993, left it nearly empty for a decade, and spent about 110 million euros on the hotel. Wehdorn Architekten did the conversion. Wien Geschichte Wiki counts 261 rooms and 33 suites at the opening. In 2016 BEHF Architects moved the main entrance to Robert-Stolz-Platz.
The setting
The hotel fills Opernring 13 to 15, Elisabethstraße 12 to 14, and Robert-Stolz-Platz, with the door now at Robert-Stolz-Platz 1 in the Innere Stadt. The State Opera is about 200 meters away, across the Ring.
