Choice Hotels EMEA has made a bold entry into the Austrian market with the opening of Clarion Hotel Vienna South.
Located on Wienerbergstrasse 7, this new addition strengthens the group’s strategic partnership with CPI Hotels, a leading hotel operator in Central and Eastern Europe.
The 201-room property marks a significant step in Choice Hotels’ expansion across the region, offering both leisure and business travelers a modern and comfortable stay in Vienna’s vibrant business hub.
Nestled in the emerging district of Vienna Wienerberg, the hotel provides easy access to both the city center and top attractions such as the Naschmarkt, the Karlsplatz, and the iconic State Opera. The area is known for its mix of green spaces, shopping venues, and business centers, making it a prime location for travelers seeking a convenient and scenic base in Vienna.
The Clarion Hotel Vienna South boasts a variety of accommodations designed for modern travelers. Guests can choose from Standard and Executive Rooms, as well as twin rooms, adjoining rooms, and accessible options. Each room is spacious, stylishly decorated, and equipped with contemporary amenities. Pet-friendly policies, EV charging stations, and an online concierge service add to the convenience and comfort for guests.
Dining at the hotel is elevated by TwentyTwo Restaurant, situated on the 22nd floor. Offering panoramic views of Vienna, the restaurant serves upscale cuisine crafted from locally sourced ingredients. Open throughout the day for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or drinks, it provides a memorable dining experience for guests and visitors alike.
For business travelers, the hotel offers state-of-the-art conference facilities. The three meeting rooms feature city views, with the Wienerberg Room on the 22nd floor providing direct access to TwentyTwo Restaurant, making it an ideal venue for events that combine functionality and sophistication.
David Beers, CEO of Choice Hotels EMEA, emphasized the strategic importance of this opening, stating, “The opening of the Clarion Hotel Vienna South, ideally placed with impressive city views, will no doubt be popular with leisure and business travelers alike. It reflects our ongoing strategy of growing internationally and forming alliances, such as our long-standing partnership with CPI Hotels.”
This long-standing collaboration dates back to the 1990s and has resulted in CPI Hotels operating 14 Choice-branded hotels in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Notable properties include the Clarion Congress Prague, one of Europe’s largest conference hotels.
The Clarion Hotel Vienna South also participates in the global Choice Privileges rewards program, which allows its 68 million members to earn and redeem points at hotels across 46 countries. With plans to grow its portfolio by adding six new aircraft in 2025, the group continues to strengthen its global presence with nearly 400 hotels in 17 countries under four flagship brands: Ascend Hotel Collection, Clarion, Comfort, and Quality Inn.
The opening of Clarion Hotel Vienna South marks a significant milestone for Choice Hotels in expanding its footprint in Central Europe and enhancing its appeal to international travelers.
