Win a Two-Night Stay at Hotel MOTTO
24th April 2026
In our latest competition, SPHERE readers can win a two-night stay for two at the elegant, boutique hotel, Hotel MOTTO in Vienna. The prize includes breakfast on both days at the hotel’s award-winning restaurant and a guarantee of the hotel’s artful CHIC room.
At the intersection of the romance of Paris and the elegance of Vienna, you’ll find Hotel MOTTO. Nestled in the heart of the vibrant Austrian capital, this hidden gem features a bold and playful design – a haven for those who appreciate artistry and individuality.
Capturing the spirit of both 1920s flair and Scandinavian comforts, this hotel is steeped in history – 300 years to be precise. Originally a social meeting place for artists, intellectuals and creative minds, there’s a palpable but subtle eccentricity in the air.
For one of our SPHERE readers, a sophisticated stay in Vienna is now on the cards. Whether you’re indulging in the freshly baked pastries, waking up in the cloud-soft, king-sized bed or detoxing in the steam room, you might be planning your next stay before you even check out.
The Hotel
If you’re looking for style and elegance, alight with swish, high-end comforts, Hotel MOTTO is the spot for you. The decadent exterior, peppered with proud statues standing to attention over the busy urban setting, creates a grand, timeless presence that sets the tone for everything inside.
Having reopened its doors in 2021 after a revamp by renowned restaurateur Bernd Schlacher, the 91-room boutique hotel incorporates a bold design – from pink plush sofas to striking art installations and illustrated murals. Drawing on the nostalgia of a bygone era, your stay will have you dreaming of cobbled streets, candlelit cabaret shows and the golden age of travel.
The winner will stay in the CHIC room – where Parisian chic meets Scandinavian functionality – for a playful yet sophisticated place to rest your head. With a touch of whimsy in the carefully curated furnishings – be it the embroidered headboards, bronze doorknobs or fringed lamps – it’s an intimate retreat that feels every bit as charming as the city itself.
To add a layer of tranquillity to the city escape, the modern fitness and wellness area comes equipped with a rain shower, unisex sauna and a small steam bath. For those into their Pilates, the hotel partners with THE1924 around the corner, where a cosy and aesthetic studio comes to life through body transformation and posture classes.
Food and Drink
It goes without saying that superb food and drink are essential for the perfect city break. Home to its own award-winning restaurant, summer rooftop bar and its own bakery – Hotel MOTTO delivers from breakfast through to dinner.
In the city known globally for its Viennoiserie, start your day with the smell of fresh croissants or apfelstrudel filling your nose and pop downstairs to the ground floor bakery, MOTTO Brot. For dinner, head to the seventh floor to Chez Bernard, named after the hotel’s owner, for a glamorous evening in the form of seafood towers with cocktails in cut crystal glasses. End the night on the rooftop a.k.a the “Bel Étage”, meaning the “beautiful floor”, where luscious foliage, sweeping city views and DJs spinning sets keep the Vienna night alive.
