The hype

Boek dit als You want a design-forward lair with Instagram-famous oval windows or a rooftop bar that stares directly into St. Stephen's Cathedral.
Waarom mensen ervan houden
- The iconic oval chaise longue windows in Topazz rooms
- Lamée Rooftop's unbeatable views of St. Stephen's Cathedral
- Prime location in the 1st District, walkable to everything
Snel Overzicht: A tale of two hotels: Topazz is a dark, cozy design cocoon, while Lamée is its brighter, rooftop-party sister across the street.
Beoordeeld door @thezaisers: I stayed in this design gem and the oval windows are such a vibe! The interiors are super eclectic with velvet everywhere, but the real showstopper was the rooftop terrace. Sipping a drink while looking right at St. Stephen's Cathedral was the highlight of my trip.
