Last year, the DC Tower opened, and the new
hotel is set to open this month. According to the Council on Tall Buildings and
Urban Habitat, the 663-foot-tall Millennium Tower is the second-tallest
skyscraper in both Vienna and Austria, preceded by the 492-foot-tall Hochhaus
Neue Donau and the 453-foot-tall Vienna Twin Towers.
The French architect Dominique Perrault
designed the DC Tower, which offers 360-degree views of the Danubio River and
the downtown.
Meliá Vienna's 253 hotel suites will be
located on the fourth through 15th floors of the building, including the
presidential suite, which will have its own private elevator.
More than 1,000 square meters of meeting
and event space will be available at the hotel. According to the announcement,
the hotel's restaurant will be on the 57th floor with panoramic views.
According to the group, Meliá Hotels
International is one of the world's largest resort hotel chains and Spain's
leading hotel chain.
Gran Meliá, Meliá, ME, Innside, Tryp by
Wyndham, Sol, and Paradisus are among the company's labels, which operate in 35
countries across four continents. According to the company, Club Meliá is the
only vacation club owned by a Spanish company.
The Hilton Vienna Danube has been sold.
The Hilton Vienna Danube hotel was sold by
Immofinanz Group for €48.4 million ($63.5 million) to a subsidiary of
Frankfurt-based Internos Real Investors Kapitalanlagegesellschaft. According to
the firm, the selling price was higher than the book value.
The deal is part of the company's ongoing
exit from non-core hotel properties. The Leonardo Vienna, which is also on the
market following a completed renovation, is now the only hotel in the group's
hotel division, according to the company.
"Following the successful sale of the
Grand Hotel Kempinski in St. Moritz in February of this year, this latest
transaction brings us closer to our aim of terminating our company in this
asset class," said Eduard Zehetner, CEO of Immofinanz Group.
"Reserved economic growth projections, low interest rates, and the
expectation of many market participants that this situation will not improve in
the near future have fuelled demand for prime assets."
The Scandic Hotel Vienna Danube first
opened its doors in 1986. With 367 rooms, including 24 suites, it has been a
Hilton-branded hotel since 2003. The Hilton group's lease was renewed for
another 20 years in 2011.
