Building on the stylistic principles of the
original 1908 facade, rationalism and clean
lines mix with contemporary art and design
at The Levante Parliament. The result is
both an homage to the Viennese Modernist
movement as well an exciting new addition
to the hospitality scene.
A team of international architects, designers
and artists have transformed the historic
building into a space that is both a gallery
and a hotel. Black and white photographs
by Curt Themessl as well as glass art by
Ioan Nemtoi create a dynamic dialogue
between restrained design and sinuous
art. Over 4.600 square meters throughout
the hotel are dedicated to the works of
the internationally acclaimed glass artist.
Nemtoi was also a key collaborator on the
design of the restaurant and bar area, one
of the hotel’s most dramatic spaces.
At Nemtoi Restaurant-Bar, the setting
perfectly complements the creative fusion
of international cuisine. Dishes ranging
from Indian Tandoori chicken to the classic
Wiener Schnitzel surprise through new
flavors and original spice combinations.
Visual highlights include Nemtoi’s glass bar
and four spectacular glass “fire” sculptures,
which separate the two spaces.
Nemtoi’s organic glass forms are in keeping
with the overall design concept where the
natural elements of air, fire, earth and water
are expressed in: spacious airy rooms,
transparent glass walls and surfaces, natural
building materials and flexible forms. Lightcoloured
stone, chrome and dark wood are
design motifs throughout the guestrooms
and public spaces.
The Levante Parliament currently houses 65
Superior Single and Double rooms as well
as 5 Junior Suites. Five additional suites,
ranging from 45-105 m2 are planned for
the end of the year, boasting large terraces
overlooking Vienna’s city centre.
Each
room and suite is outfitted with the latest
technology, entertainment system, designer
body care products and luxury bedding.
The offerings are rounded out by a fitness
centre, a sauna and infrared cabin, a
courtyard garden, as well as a service
philosophy that anticipates the
