And we are continuing the Viennese tour.
My second stop was at the 25hours Hotel at Museumsquartier which is located in Vienna's 7th district, home to the shopping quarter Neubaugasse, the museums and the heart of Vienna's young, liberal, creative scene. Inspired by the city’s Opera, Life Ball, Prater and countless music and theater stages, the hotel’s design is organically distinctive. It creates a fantastical world of circus, spectacle and extravagance, with just a touch of madness.

Highlights
- the spacious foyer is a lively marketplace for hotel guests, local residents, curious passers by and hipsters from the seventh district
- der Dachboden loft with bar and rooftop terrace (is one of the best rooftop bars in Vienna)
- 1500 foodmakers and Burger de ville (food courts at the hotel)
- photo booth at the reception
- jogging corner, where you can grab a small towel or bottle of water before you start your running session
- "grab and go" breakfast if you are in a hurry
- kiosk that sells practical goods and souvenirs
- circus theme developed by Armin Fischer and his Dreimeta team (don't book a room if you are afraid of clowns ;))
- the L+ category room is a real highlight with open-air baths on a private balcony
- old suitcases as TV shelves in suites are super cool 
- stop the water while using me, all natural cosmetics
- free bike rental
- complimentary WiFi

Food and drinks 
 - the 1500 FOODMAKERS restaurant likes it simple and concentrates on pizza. It's name is a witty allusion to the number of minutes there are to enjoy food in 25 hours, so you gotta try pizza over here
- you will find California’s typical relaxed, laidback attitude and interior mixed with Italian food
- in the outdoor dining area and beer garden you can find a burger van "Burger de Ville" so you need to try their funky burgers too
- don't skip a drink or two at the Dachboden with an amazing view

People 
- staff is cool and helpful
- people are really mad here and they are not joking. ;)
- if you are young, urban/ hipster kind of person (or you feel like this) than this is the right hotel for you

Price
- starting price for the smallest room is cheaper than in the most of the hotels which are members to the Designhotels.com , check it on their website.

Experience 
It is surreal and surprising. Every single corner hides some cool ideas and you will love it. The lines between imagination and reality are blurred, so don't miss the opportunity to visit the the rooftop Dachboden bar  while they are having Swing&Lindy Hop night (check my short video on the Instagram Here)! It will transfer you back to the 40's! There were some serious dancers and it is definitely popular with the locals, and they always know what's best in town.

You just have to come as you are and you will enjoy.

p.s. thank you Roland for everything!

I have never been a typical tourist. Instead of chasing like crazy and sightseeing I always preferred to sit on some cool place, grab a drink and observe, pretending to be a resident of the city. And I firmly believe that this is the best way to feel the atmosphere and get to known better other cultures and people and after that you will easily discover every town you visit.
Before every trip, I google! I google like crazy! Searching for a new and must see places: what's fresh, what's popular, what's trendy, where are the best design spots etc. And after I arrive in every hotel I try to get even more information from the hotel's staff cause no one knows better than the locals.
With bunch of papers, names and directions I jump into bed and start creating a route.
No strict plans, just some notes, cause I don't wanna feel pressure to see everything. I like to enjoy and absorb.
So let's start this first part of my guide!
The Guesthouse Hotel is the ideal starting point for strolls through the city and visiting Vienna's hotspots. But if you are not staying at this hotel, I recommend at least to have breakfast here cause it's worth it. The organic wood-fired bakery Gragger provides fresh bread and pastries and you will love it.

Must eat/drink 
The Guesthouse Hotel - all day breakfast and coffee at the Brasserie
Palmenhaus - only 400 meters away from the hotel you will find this architectural jewel built in 1901. Don't miss the opportunity to enjoy under the palms and tranquil view of the Burggarten (if you like butterflies you can check the Butterfly House next to the restaurant).
Würstelstand - next to the Albertina Museum, don't skip this if you like different type of sausages
LeSchanz - Wiener Schokolade König, near St.Stephen's Square
Clementine im Glashaus - you have to try something to eat between clementine trees
Burgring - serves raw vintage chic and down to earth food
Cafe Stadtkind - the ideal place to start or end your shopping tour
Cafe Sacher Wien - cause you need to take at least one piece of this famous cake
Figlmüller - it can be crowded because of the tourists, but believe me it is the best Schnitzel you will try, ever.

Must see
Albertina Museeum
Augustinerkirche
Wiener Staatsoper/ Staatsopernmuseum
Winterpalais
in the shadow of the St. Stephan's Cathedral there are so many well established galleries, if you are interesting in those kind of places just google it.

Must be
Albertina Passage - one of the finest dinner clubs in Vienna. The live swin, jayy and blues music will take back into another time and place.
Roberto American Bar
Porgy and Bess - Jazzclub
also the Guesthouse Hotel and Palmenhaus are places to be during the day.

Must shop
Steffl - famous department store in Vienna
Peek&Cloppenburg - not a fan of their stores at all, but during the Sale period you can find interesting piece
(Red Valentino, Max Mara, Theory etc.)
Cos - don't skip this place, they have amazing pieces
Albertina Museum - has really cool shop.

And that's it for today, for this area around my first hotel. All places are linked so you can check the address and what are they offering.

Something old and something new. Something tight and something loose.
Cat eyes and the bad attitude.
A sporty spin on feminine style.
And that's it.

Bare foots and cropped pants are perfect combination for a chilly summer days. Mixed it with a blouse or just a regular t shirt and blazer and you are ready to go. Simple as that!
