Renzo Piano-designed Vienna Andaz to feature rooftop bar with Schweizergarten views
Pritzker Prize-winning architect Renzo Piano is designing the Andaz Am Belvedere hotel, set to open in Vienna’s new Quartier Belvedere district in 2019.
The project is a joint venture between Hyatt Hotels and Signa, who previously collaborated on the Park Hyatt Vienna. The hotel will be located opposite the 21er Haus – formerly the Museum of Modern Art – and Vienna’s Schweizergarten, next to the Belvedere Palace.
The 300-room Andaz Am Belvedere will “take inspiration from the city’s art and architecture, diverse cuisine, outstanding quality of life and irresistible charm,” according to a statement from Signa, and will feature interiors designed by Gabriel Kacerovsky of Archisphere and Swiss designer Claudio Carbone.
Taking its cue from Prince Eugene of Savoy – a developer, art collector and the man behind the Belvedere Palace – the Andaz Am Belvedere will feature contemporary local art and design designed to immerse guests in the history of both Prince Eugene and the city of Vienna.
The hotel will be comprised of two separate buildings connected by interwoven bridges, with a shared lounge on the ground floor, and will include a 16th floor rooftop bar with views of the Schweizergarten, as well as a large spa and wellness area on the fourth floor.
“This is an incredibly important development for Vienna, with the Belvedere Quarter set to become a sought-after destination in the city,” said Peter Norman, senior vice president of acquisitions and development for Hyatt – Europe, Africa and Middle East.
