The Falkensteiner Hotel Wien Margareten is a contemporary luxury hotel situated in a modern building with a distinctive glass facade fronted by wooden slats. These giant windows allow the interiors to take advantage of floor-to-ceiling windows and natural light. Decor is chic, contemporary, and charming, taking inspiration from Biedermeier-period decor and adding modern twists. Upon entering, guests see a chic gray tiled floor and reception desk paired with a ceiling spangled with halo-shaped chandeliers. A hallway near the entrance pairs light wood parquet floors with black walls, moody strip lighting, abstract art, and black-and-white striped upholstered settees. The lobby bar is a standout spot with parquet floors and an eclectic array of pendant lighting, including wine-bottle chandeliers. Teal and green velvety armchairs and couches surrounded wooden cafe and coffee tables. This classy, upscale decor isn't reserved just for the common areas, but extends throughout the property, including the fresh, modern rooftop spa and sophisticated guest rooms. This is an ideal spot for leisure tourists, including couples and families traveling with children; it also draws business travelers.

The Falkensteiner Hotel Wien is located along a major road in Margareten, slightly outside of Vienna's tourist center. While the immediate area is fairly dull (there are few restaurants or shops in the neighborhood), the Margaretengürtel U-Bahn and tram lines are just a three-minute walk from the hotel and can take guests directly to the city center in about 20 minutes. The Wein Westbahnhof train station and Mariahilfer Strasse, a popular shopping street that's filled with restaurants and shops, can both be reached in about 20 minutes on foot. Schönbrunn Palace and Karlsplatz are about a five- to 10-minute drive, while Schottenring and MuseumsQuartier are a 10- to 15-minute drive. Vienna International Airport is about a 20- to 30-minute drive, or 50 minutes via public transit. The hotel has on-site, underground parking and airport transfers can be arranged, though these cost extra fees.

Rooms are chic and contemporary, with a posh backdrop of light wood parquet floors, white walls, and floor-to-ceiling windows filling the spaces with natural light. But it's the fashionable details that really add charm, such as the white-and-teal chevron wallpaper accents and matching teal pillows, side tables, and upholstered armchairs. Beds feature velvety, scalloped headboards in a mustard hue and matching dust ruffles. Furniture includes charming, vintage X-leg writing desks. Clean, modern bathrooms are outfitted with marbled tiling, square sinks, walk-in rainfall showers, and toiletry dispensers. Vanity alcoves outside of the bathrooms include stools, tissue boxes, magnifying mirrors, and hairdryers.

Rooms are quite spacious; the entry-level Superior Double Room measures 260 to 320 square feet, while the largest suite measures over 700 square feet. Upgraded rooms contain extras like sitting areas or dining tables.

The hotel offers a host of upscale amenities geared toward leisure tourists, business travelers, and families. There's a classy on-site restaurant with a seasonal menu featuring modern Viennese cuisine, while a chic lobby bar serves drinks and small plates. The daily breakfast buffet cost an extra fee, but it includes an impressive spread finished with Prosecco and is served until late morning on weekends. Vegan options are also available.
