The 25hours Hotel at MuseumsQuartier in Vienna’s seventh district is a relaxed, atmospheric hotel which plays with the dreams and sensations associated with the world of the circus and reinterprets features more commonly seen in the big top in a totally different environment.

Italian food can be found everywhere - however, authentic and honest cucina popolare is harder to come by. This is about to change. The restaurant serves up uncompromisingly good fare from meticulously selected producers who put their hearts and minds into their work. RIBELLI is centred around the three pillars of salumi e antipasti, Neapolitan pizza and piatti dal forno, that is traditional oven-baked dishes such as classic lasagne and gnocchi alla sorrentina. In addition, there are carefully selected Italian wines and craft beer, because in Italy, pizza and beer go hand in hand. The central point of the restaurant is its salumeria, where Italian varieties of sausage and cheeses are freshly sliced by the salumiere. In future, foodies will also be able to buy prosciutto, pancetta and pecorino romano direct from the restaurant to enjoy at home.

On the floor below the restaurant and lobby, the hotel has created a spacious function suite with an outdoor terrace overlooking Weghuberpark. The three light-flooded Freiraum function rooms with professional conference equipment provide the ideal backdrop for creative brainstorming and focussed discussions. They can be rented individually or combined to cater for a range of party sizes, with various seating arrangement options. Muted colours and parquet flooring made from cross-grained wood create a warm atmosphere, while stacked shoe racks and bedside tables provide practical storage space with a difference. Receptions can be held in the event foyer, which has standing room for up to 200 people. Glass domes in the ceiling provide wonderfully atmospheric light, a small bar with shutters on the front reminds guests of a funfair stall, and witty details such as large distorting mirrors convey precisely the right combination of professionalism and nonchalance.&nbsp;

Need a break? After a long tour of the city, why not take it easy at one of Vienna&rsquo;s many coffee houses or the hotel&rsquo;s spa? Spanning 250 square metres, its sauna and steam bath are the perfect place for hotel guests to sweat, cool off and relax &ndash; or the other way round. The spa welcomes visitors with a tea and refreshments area, hanging chairs which playfully surprise guests by rocking, and zinc troughs which are used as either foot baths or shelving. There are quiet areas close by, either indoors in a light-flooded room with glass domes in the roof or outside in the sheltered courtyard for those who fancy a breath of fresh air. Glass walls create oases of calm without hemming visitors in and allow them to admire Olaf Hajek&rsquo;s charming little mermaid from various angles. She is the colourful star of the large wall mosaic which the Berlin-based artist designed exclusively for 25hours.

As you might expect in a hotel dedicated to show business and spectacle, a red carpet leads the way to the guest rooms &ndash; more as a humorous homage to the traditional red of the circus than a nod to Hollywood. Spread over seven storeys, the 217 private retreats offer all 25hours&rsquo; standard features: ultra comfortable beds, air-conditioning, a flatscreen TV, a minibar, UE Boom Bluetooth speaker, sustainable toiletries and free Wi-Fi. Just like all the rooms are decorated in an incredibly cheerful colour scheme and finished off with unique touches, such as hand-picked design elements and illustrations by Olaf Hajek on the walls. Special highlights include the spacious Gigantic Panorama Rooms with floor-length windows and the four Extra Large rooms on the fifth floor with a private balcony including an open-air bath tub and a breathtaking view. 
Overnight guests aren&rsquo;t the only ones who can enjoy the superb view. Anyone can use the spectacular outdoor lift to travel right the way up to the top floor. It&rsquo;s worth the trip to take in the roof terrace overlooking the park, the parliament and the palace of justice &ndash; on a clear day, you can even see the vineyards of Korneuburg and Klosterneuburg. Sprawling across some 400 square metres, the Dachboden perched above the city&rsquo;s rooftops is designed as a continuum and adapts to whatever is required of it on any given day. It could be a comfortable lounge in the afternoon, an after-work hotspot in the evening, and a hip bar well into the early hours. Or it could be a venue for events of all kinds &ndash; great DJs and young bands showcasing their latest work, wine tastings or readings.&nbsp;
