Imperial summer


Experiencing nature at the heart of the metropolis

The ARCOTEL Kaiserwasser is situated opposite of the UNO City and the Austria Center Vienna, Vienna’s conference center. The 4-star-superior-hotel fits harmoniously into the skyline of Vienna and combines, due to its unique location, nature and urbanity. Thus, the hotel is the ideal starting point for business people, families as well as city tourists.

Especially families appreciate the location of the ARCOTEL Kaiserwasser at the recreational area of the Old Danube, which is one of the most popular destinations for excursions in Vienna and deeply rooted in the city's history. In earlier times, the so-called Kaiserwasser, a branch of the Danube River,  has been used to drive the mills of the empire and therefore, was given the name "Kaiserwasser-Imperial water".

Since spring 2012, the ARCOTEL Kaiserwasser offers its guests a particular highlight: a hotel-owned dock that offers tourists direct access to the Kaiserwasser and gives them the opportunity to relax and enjoy the warm summer days at the Danube. On request, we can organize paddle boats or stand-up paddling events for your next company outing.

Only a few minutes walk away from the ARCOTEL Kaiserwasser, the famous lido "Gänsehäufel" is located. Since the visit of Rainhard Fendrich, a famous Austrian musician, the "Gänsehäufel" has become an institution in Vienna and offers visitors the opportunity to enjoy relaxing hours at the beach or at one of the numerous outdoor pools. The many playgrounds, water slides or beach-volleyball courts are an extra highlight for children.

Action enthusiasts and all those that want to prove their skills and coordination in great height, may want to visit the high-ropes-course at the "Gänsehäufel". With a great variety of challenges, the high-ropes-course at the "Gänsehäufel" is the biggest one in Vienna.

Wax, or real life


On the Spielbudenplatz, just a few minutes' walk from the ARCOTEL Onyx in Hamburg, you will find the Panoptikum, one of the oldest waxworks in Germany. It was established in 1879 by Friedrich Hermann Faerber and is now managed by the fourth generation of the family in the shape of Dr. Hayo Faerber.

130 years ago, wax figures of famous people, including criminals and rare sights such as "dwarves" and "giants", were the only way for many people to actually see these persons first-hand. Most of the press was just text, no pictures, and all other media had yet to be invented.
The Panoptikum is the only wax museum from this time that is still in operation. However, there are not only historical figures on display, the exhibits are constantly expanded with new additions, such as Karl Lagerfeld, Lena Meyer-Landrut or Robbie Williams.
Of course, situated on "Spielbudenplatz" the link to the Reeperbahn and St. Pauli is important. Here you can meet local legends such as Anita Niehoff, who was known as "Domenica", not to mention Hans Albers and Freddy Quinn. And Udo Lindenberg, or his wax double, invites you to come and meet him on his beloved "Geile Meile" (Sin Street).

One very interesting part of the exhibition is where they show you how the waxworks are made. It takes between nine and twelve months for the artists and sculptors to create a new figure. These hand-made "works of art" are made with an eye for detail in many small, individual steps.

Visiting the Panoptikum is by all means a fantastic experience for both young and old.
And there's only one rule: don't leave your camera at home!

First rays of sunshine


The moment has come, spring is knocking on the door! After a long, cold winter, spring has come again. Temperatures are rising, enticing a myriad of people to enjoy their first spring coffee in the sun and fresh air. Warm weather, which we have all awaited, has finally arrived – a time when everything wakes up and blossoms. The first rays of sunshine and the chirping of the birds banish the winter gloominess, anger and stress. First spring feelings emerge and good mood is almost tangible in the air. It is a season  when many towns are beautiful, and a time when choosing to visit the Croatian capital is the best decision of all.


The traditional opening of the season commences at Easter. Hotel ARCOTEL Allegra has once again prepared a number of offers this year which allow you to experience the city and its surroundings. Enjoy the spring in numerous colourful Zagreb parks adjacent to the hotel ARCOTELAllegra. The most interesting city sites are not far away from our hotel and for an exceptional sensation we suggest outings to the historical town of Samobor, castle Trakoscan or nature park Zumberak. Our Joe’s bar is soon to open its terrace in the spring sun where you can enjoy the best coffee and the most delicious cocktails.
