We had never been to Vienna and were looking for a boutique hotel near to the Christmas Markets and as a result we chose the Artist Boutique Hotel, we could not have chosen better. We stayed for two nights with along with another couple and really enjoyed our time there. In fact, we were very sad to leave. The entrance on Buchfeldgasse is not very imposing but once through the doors you enter a world of serenity and calmness where nothing seems to be too much trouble for the staff. We arrived late morning, but they checked us in without fuss and allowed us to leave our cases so we could visit the Christmas Markets unencumbered. The nearest market was about 8 minutes walk away on Rathhausplatz if you could get there without visiting one of the many splendid cafes on the way. Both of our beautifully appointed rooms on the fourth floor were very clean, warm, comfortable, and quiet. The breakfast buffet was delicious with everything that you would expect of a continental breakfast fresh meats, cheese, bread, fruits and fresh juices there were also hot breakfast items available. Only one of our party tried the hot food a freshly prepared omelette, they were very pleased with their choice only leaving the pattern on the plate. Our stay was a memorable one thanks to all the staff who always had a smile and were polite and engaging. The hotel has a portrait mirror in the main reception area which we used on more than one occasion, the results always bringing a smile or a laugh. It is great fun for selfies which can be downloaded onto your phone. They then appear randomly in the digital picture frames during the day and once again it brought a smile when you saw them. The cocktail bar had an understated elegance which during our time was offering two for one cocktails, the ladies tried and loved the mocktails. While they did not have a large selection of beers the Austrian and Czech beers had been carefully chosen and were very welcome after a long day walking around Vienna. We would all love to go back again in the future.
