The Relative Lieutenant wrote this after a visit to Vienna and he thought Vienna was more accessible than he imagined. It’s very compact as long as you stay inside The Ringstrasse – a horseshoe-shaped avenue encircling the medieval centre. But there are cobbles!! Here’s his review of the Michelin Starred restaurant Steirereck and I’ve also added some research on hotels to stay at for a weekend break. The research is just that as we need reviews from anyone who has been there and knows of good/cool/trendy and accessible places to stay or visit. you can contact on FB or twitter if you prefer:

The DAS TRIEST

is a Conran designed hotel from 1996, (one of the first), and looks lovely in downtown Vienna. They have accessible rooms but with baths and no grab rails, apparently. However you may just want to visit Collio, their courtyard restaurant serving ‘modern Austrian dishes’, which is fragrant with rosemary bushes or the Silver Bar, which is popular with the Viennese after work. DAS TRIEST gets 2 provisional BBS Ticks. – we need grab rails to upgrade it!!

Das Triest One of Conran’s First Design Hotels

Has a signature Conran Style

Collio Courtyard serves Austrian dishes with a twist

After its recent renovation Hospitalitynet said,

“A former coach station used by travellers en route to the spas of Trieste, Das Triest is a pitch perfect combination of history and modern design.”

There are lots of other cool places but this blog would be too long to mention them all. Suffice to say I think Vienna may be a challenge to visit in places but worth the effort.
