Lonely Planet review

Opened in 1995 as Vienna's premiere design hotel, Das Triest was the first top-class establishment to breath much-needed life into a city where luxury equates to period pieces and imperial fluff is all the rage.

Designed by Sir Terence Conran, Das Triest is a symbiosis of history and modern design. The 300-year-old building once used as stables has been transformed into a cutting edge hotel with more panache than anything else on offer in this city of culture (although the Style Hotel and Le Meridien are more than close behind). The overall theme is nautical: portholes replace spyholes and windows, and stairwell railings would be just at home on the Queen Mary II. Rooms are stylish in their simplicity and bathed in pastel warmth, while little touches, such as fresh flowers, folded toilet rolls and more towels than you'll ever need, polish the scene off. Collio, Das Triest's excellent Austro-Italian restaurant, is a great place to start an evening and the Silver Bar, with its own 'Das Triest' cocktail and intimate booths, the perfect location to end it.
