Serviced Apartments in Vienna

A Serviced Apartment is a fully equipped apartment (with its own kitchen, living area, and bedroom) intended for temporary use, which also offers hotel-like services. These include, for example, housekeeping, laundry service, Wi-Fi, or 24/7 support. It combines the privacy and flexibility of having your own local apartment with the comfort of a hotel and is particularly well-suited for longer stays such as business trips, project assignments, or moving to Vienna.

Vienna Residence has been renting Serviced Apartments in Vienna since 2007. In that time, Vienna Residence has grown into one of the biggest providers in the city, with apartments across all the central districts, many of them a short walk from Vienna's major sights, and others positioned close to the big companies our corporate clients work with.

So when people ask us which serviced apartments in Vienna are actually worth booking, we're not answering as outsiders comparing listings. We're answering from having furnished, cleaned, contracted, and stood behind these apartments ourselves, for almost two decades.

This isn't a neutral round-up of every option in the city. It's what we've learned about what actually makes a serviced apartment good, where the strongest locations in Vienna are, what things really cost, and the mistakes we see people make when they're searching.

Not every district in Vienna makes sense for a Serviced Apartment. Some are strong because guests want to be close to the sights; others because they're near the big employers and event venues that bring corporate travellers to the city.

The 1st District: Vienna's Historic Core

Our apartments in the 1st district are consistently our strongest performers, and it's not a surprise. This is Vienna's old town, the Innere Stadt, walkable to the Hofburg, St. Stephen's Cathedral, and the State Opera. For guests who want to step outside and already be in the middle of the city, nothing else compares.

Stuwerstraße and TRIIIPLE: Near Messe Wien

Our Stuwerstraße apartments in the 2nd district sit close to the Messe Wien exhibition center and have direct subway access, which makes them popular with anyone in Vienna for a trade fair or conference. TRIIIPLE is another strong cluster for us — modern buildings that work well for both business stays and longer relocations.

Philips Haus: A Design Icon Above Vienna

Philips Haus, in the 10th district, deserves its own mention. It was originally the headquarters of Philips, built in the 1960s as a piece of post-war modernist architecture. We took that building and revitalised it into what we think of as a vertical village of serviced apartments, ranging from studios to units for four guests.

What makes it work isn't just the history. It's a golf course a few minutes away, the Wienerberg nature reserve for a walk or a run, a Cineplexx cinema next door, and a wide choice of restaurants. All wrapped around apartments with open modern kitchens, walk-in showers, and electric blackout blinds. It's one of the clearest examples we have of what "serviced apartment" should mean: a real neighbourhood, not just a room.

Hietzinger Kai: Quiet Elegance

For guests who want to be close to Schönbrunn Palace but away from the busier central districts, our Hietzinger Kai apartments offer a calmer, more residential feel while still being well connected into the city.

For short-term stays, we will handle the necessary registration and report your stay in accordance with Austrian law. For longer stays (more than one month), please contact your representative at Vienna Residence Customer Support, as you may also need to register your residence with the local authorities (registration form).

There’s no one-size-fits-all answer to that. There are both affordable and expensive hotels, and, just like with rental apartments, there are significant price differences among serviced apartments.

The main factors affecting the price are the location, amenities, and size of the apartment, as well as the level of service provided by the serviced apartment provider.

Vienna Residence is a premium provider offering upscale amenities, high-quality serviced apartments in prime locations, and personalized support.

Yes! As long as you book through a licensed, established operator. Legitimate serviced apartment providers in Vienna operate under Austrian trade law (Gewerberecht) as registered commercial accommodation, meet the city's fire and safety codes, and legally register every guest with local authorities (a requirement known as Meldepflicht).

This is what separates a proper serviced apartment from an unregistered short-term rental, which in Vienna is capped at 90 days a year for private landlords and carries real legal risk for both host and guest.

At Vienna Residence, every apartment comes from our own vetted portfolio with experience since 2007, not third-party listings, so you know exactly what you're getting before you arrive. Our reviews are collected and independently verified by TrustYou, giving you an honest, unfiltered picture from past guests.

No, all of our serviced apartments are non-smoking.

The answer depends on the location of the serviced apartment and your pet. Please contact us by email or phone to discuss the details.
