Sans Souci Wien is a five-star boutique hotel at Burggasse 2 in Neubau, right beside the MuseumsQuartier, and it offers luxury on a human scale. It has 71 individually furnished rooms, which makes it a world away from the large corporate hotels, and the atmosphere is that of a private town house. Facilities include the Veranda Brasserie and Bar, a bar and lounge, a full-service spa with two treatment rooms and a 24-hour gym. The breakfast buffet is free, served from early morning to late morning on weekdays and later at weekends, a welcome inclusion at this price level. The position is the strongest feature for culture seekers. The MuseumsQuartier is about a minute away, the Volkstheater underground station about two, the Hofburg about six, the Christmas market about nine and the State Opera and Spanish Riding School about eleven minutes each, so you can walk to most of the major sights. The neighbourhood is lively without being rowdy: Spittelberg's cobbled lanes, restaurants and small shops are on the doorstep, and the Naschmarkt is a short ride away. The style is individual and richly furnished, with art and decoration giving each room its own feeling, so check the category for size and outlook. It suits couples, art lovers and travellers who prefer a boutique stay to a large, formal hotel. Rates are in the upper range, and the tourist tax is added to the room price, but the free breakfast and the central position make the value easier to justify. If your priority is to be next to the museums with a spa and a good bar downstairs, it is a strong choice.
