Description:
Revitalization of the last typical Biedermeier passage of this size and structure in Vienna. Houses now a first class hotel, various shops, bar and restaurant. The plan to demolish the dilapidated area was stopped at the last minute, thereby avoiding the possibility of an ultramodern building which may not have been harmonious. A new connecting structure between both sides of the passage made a commercial viable hotel possible. All interiors were furnished relating to the original building time. The passage was opened to the public.
