Ruby Marie Hotel Vienna is at Mariahilfer Strasse 120 in Neubau, on the edge of the city's long shopping street, and it is a practical, stylish four-star base for travellers who want a modern hotel with some personality. It has 186 rooms and a set of public spaces that go beyond the usual: a restaurant, a terrace and garden, a coffee shop, a bar and a library, as well as bike rentals. A buffet breakfast is available for a surcharge, and self-parking is offered at a daily charge, so check the current rates when you book. The location is the kind that suits independent visitors. Mariahilfer Strasse is about a minute away, with its shops and cafes, and an underground station is nearby, giving quick access to the centre. On foot, the Raimund Theater is about six minutes, the Wiener Stadthalle about eleven, and the Naschmarkt and the MuseumsQuartier about nineteen minutes each, with the Kunsthistorisches Museum, the Leopold Museum, Karlsplatz and the Hofburg within about a mile. That makes it a comfortable base for those who enjoy a walk, and the underground and tram shorten the longer hops. The style is contemporary and relaxed, and the hotel is aimed at leisure travellers and young professionals as much as at business guests. It is quieter and less formal than the Ring hotels, and the rates are generally lower, which makes it a good-value choice for a longer stay. Since it is a short way from the old town, you should plan a few minutes of travel to reach the cathedral and the Opera. The city's tourist tax is added to the room rate.
The rooms and the feel
Rooms are modern and comfortable, with good beds and efficient bathrooms, and the public areas have a homely, design-led character, with the library and garden adding to the sense of a place designed for lingering. Categories vary in size, so check the room type if you need extra space, and ask for a room away from the street if you are a light sleeper.
Eating and drinking
The on-site restaurant, bar and coffee shop cover breakfast, lunch and evening drinks, and the terrace and garden are pleasant in warm weather. A buffet breakfast is available for an additional charge. Mariahilfer Strasse itself is lined with cafes, bakeries and restaurants, and the nearby streets of Neubau and Spittelberg have some of the city's best casual dining.
Location
Mariahilfer Strasse 120 is in Neubau, close to the shopping street and an underground station.
