OUR TOWNHOUSE
About us
Roosevelt Stadthaus offers the privacy of a Viennese home with a personal welcome. There is no room service, breakfast schedule or busy hotel lobby. Instead, you can settle into the house at your own pace. We welcome you in person, even if your flight is delayed.
Our family has run the townhouse since 2016. As keen travellers ourselves, we value thoughtful details, a warm welcome and the freedom to feel at home.
Konstanze and Johanna are both from Vienna and know the city well. From a good breakfast or a favourite Wiener Schnitzel to a traditional Heuriger wine tavern, they are happy to share personal recommendations and help you discover the Vienna they love.
A house with history
Roosevelt Stadthaus occupies a historic building from Vienna’s Gründerzeit era. The house in its present form was built in 1886 to designs by architect Emil von Förster.
Adolf Loos, a pioneer of modern architecture, designed several apartments in the building; parts of these interiors survive today. The writer Arthur Schnitzler lived here with his mother Louise from 1893 to 1911. On 15 April 1945, university professors met in the house to discuss the reopening of the University of Vienna.
Well located
Roosevelt Stadthaus is located opposite the Votive Church, close to the Ringstrasse and Vienna’s historic centre. It is an ideal base for exploring on foot: the University of Vienna, City Hall and Parliament are nearby, while the Hofburg Palace, the Servitenviertel, shopping streets, museums and galleries are all within walking distance.
