About Hotel Franzenshof
Our hotel was built in 1911, and it has been managed by the Sobotka family for more than 30 years. We are constantly renovating the hotel in order to create a relaxing environment for our guests. In 2009, for example, we have renovated the reception area completely. If you are coming to Vienna by bike or wish to discover the city on wheels, we have a covered and secure bicycle storage room at your disposal. Our hotel was awarded the Austrian Eco Label for tourism in 2003. This awarded is granted by the Environmental Ministry for hotels with a natural atmosphere, fresh air, non-smoking areas, selective waste collection, energy-optimized management, food from organic farms and nearby suppliers, no unnecessary packaging materials. Here is a short list of what you can do to contribute to this spirit: close the windows when the heating is turned on, turn off the light when not in use, save as much water as possible, place used towels on the floor, smoke only in permitted areas, use public transportation or bicycle.
