By now, it should be clear: The Radisson SAS hotels around the world boast a modern and reliable class. But some are better than others, as is the case with the Style Hotel in Vienna. All 78 designer rooms and boutiques have been carefully curated, lending an intimate feel, and are equipped with techie perks as standards: free wi-fi, flat-panel LCD televisions, CD and DVD players and climate control—and that’s in the hotel’s most basic rooms. Those on business will be relieved to discover the hotel’s three-hour laundry service, while the hungry can flock to the on-grounds restaurant Sapori, which whips up Italian dishes with equal parts expertise and flair in cushiony white-tableclothed settings.

Style Hotel’s close proximity to three bustling districts—Kohlmarkt, Graben and Freyung—means that much of Vienna’s historical flavors are just a stone’s throw away: St. Stephen’s Cathedral, State Opera and Imperial Hofburg Palace, among others.
