Meliá Vienna
About
The Melia Vienna – officially the DC Tower 1 – stands 220 metres (720 ft) tall and is the tallest skyscraper in Austria. Located in the modern Donau City district on Donau‑City‑Straße 7, the 58‑floor mixed‑use tower houses a five‑star Melia hotel on its lower fifteen levels. The hotel offers 253 well‑furnished rooms, including 14 designer suites, each featuring floor‑to‑ceiling windows that provide sweeping views of the Danube River and the city skyline. 57 th‑ and 58 th‑floor restaurants and a rooftop bar showcase panoramic vistas and serve both local and international cuisine. The building, designed by French architect Dominique Perrault with structural engineering by Werner Sobek AG, blends sleek glass façades and wave‑like curvature with sustainable, high‑performance construction, earning a Platinum LEED rating. Melia Vienna’s strategic location – a short walk from Danube Island, the Vienna International Airport and historic city centres – makes it an ideal base for both business and leisure travellers. Inside the hotel, guests enjoy modern amenities including a fitness centre on the second floor, an indoor pool, a spa area and meeting rooms that collectively cover 1 124 m² of versatile event space. The 57 Lounge and 57 Restaurant on the 57th floor are famed for their contemporary design and award‑winning cuisine, while the 58th‑floor terrace offers a serene escape and an inviting day‑time ambience. Beyond its hospitality credentials, the DC Tower 1 contributes significantly to Vienna’s skyline, offering a striking silhouette that complements the traditional Danube City skyline. Its architectural intent—unifying glass, steel, and a fluid wave‑form—recapitulates the river’s cadence while presenting an unmistakable modern landmark. Visitors to Melia Vienna can book stays directly through the official website, which provides a fully integrated booking interface, real‑time availability, and special package deals.
