Springer Schlössl

Vienna


Set in leafy parkland roamed by squirrels, this modern hotel 500m southeast of the palace gates has 38 spick-and-span rooms (two of which are wheelchair accessible), an in-house bar, and free on-site parking with two electric charge points. The grounds also shelter an 1887-built Schlössl (mansion) and an 18th-century half-timbered former stable, both of which are now used as conference rooms.
