Leonardo Hotels Central Europe said it is the largest hotel in the world built entirely from wood and is the fourth largest hotel in Austria.
The hotel is designed around a functional model aimed at simplifying the guest experience. It includes digital services, such as a 24-hour self-check-in system.
The new opening increases the group’s footprint in Austria to nine hotels and two master apartments, including five hotels in Vienna.
Leonardo Hotels Central Europe managing director Yoram Biton said: “The opening of Leonardo Smart Vienna Airport marks far more than just another new addition to our portfolio — it constitutes a new chapter in the history of Leonardo Hotels. Leonardo Smart maintains a robust focus on the needs of travellers who value comfort, functionality and uncomplicated stays.”
Guest rooms are equipped with a desk, flat-screen television, and Wi-Fi access.
Other amenities include a bar, game tables for families, luggage lockers, a pantry kitchen, a 24-hour mini market and a gym area with wooden exercise equipment.
Thomas Neubauer will lead the hotel as general manager. His previous roles include positions at Schloss Fuschl, Adina Apartment Hotels and Palais Hansen Kempinski Vienna.
The hotel is located a short distance from Vienna-Schwechat Airport, while being well connected to central Vienna and the city’s cultural sites.
Lower Austria Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner said: “This new hotel stands for many of the things that make Lower Austria a force — entrepreneurial courage, innovative power and confidence in the future.
“This is a beacon project, which impressively demonstrates that economic success and sustainability go hand in hand and which clearly signals Lower Austria’s strength as a tourism and economic location.”
