Ruby Sofie Hotel Vienna

Ruby Sofie may be surrounded by peaceful streets and historic architecture, but the city's main sights are a short stroll away.

Originally built as a bathhouse, Ruby Sofie was set for a life of lather, rinse, repeat. Thanks to her excellent acoustics though, she was soon transformed into a beautiful ballroom.

In the cosy bar, the music lives on, in the form of gigs by local bands. Drop by for a cocktail or bring your friends and grab a beer. And when it's time to unwind, each room is a haven of Lean Luxury calm, designed with serious sleep in mind.

Blending tranquillity with great transport links, Sofie's an eight-minute walk from Wien Mitte station, just across the river from the landmarks of the Ringstrasse.
