Hotel Orient
The Hotel Orient is an hourly hotel in Vienna's 1st district, Innere Stadt .
history
As early as the 17th century, a tavern called Orient was mentioned in a document at its current location at Tiefen Graben . The name comes from the fact that dinghies from Danube ships that were loaded with goods from the Orient stopped here. The inn later became a hostel and finally a hotel, which opened in 1896.
The rooms were burlesque in the lush Makart style and have largely been preserved after renovations. Each room has its own focus, for example there is an Kaiser Suite and a Mona Lisa Suite, but also a Helmut Newton Suite.
Cultural and media
The hotel has appeared in a number of films, including The Third Man with Orson Welles (who was often a guest after filming was over), as well as various episodes of Tatort .
In 2007, the film and theater director Ludwig Wüst staged Arthur Schnitzler's dream novel in the Kaiser Suite as a revealing chamber play.
The photographer Sylvie Blum published an illustrated book about the hotel in 2002.
