The Hotel Melia Vienna is a 5-star hotel in the DC Tower in Donau-City, beside the Danube. According to the hotel, the building is the tallest skyscraper in Austria, and the rooftop terrace is its main draw. It suits business trips near UNO City and stays where the views matter.
Location and getting around
The address is Donau-City-Straße 7, in the 22nd district (Donaustadt). This is not a hotel for walking to the old town: Wien Mitte station is 3.5 km away and St Stephen’s Cathedral (Stephansdom) is 3.9 km away, so plan on the U-Bahn or a taxi. The Prater is about 35 minutes on foot across the river. The hotel says it has direct U-Bahn access to the centre.
