The Austria Trend
Hotel Ananas is a large budget chain hotel located in the more residential Margareten
neighborhood of Vienna. While the city center is within walking distance, the location isn't the most central for tourists wanting to
explore the city on foot, although the nearby metro (there's a stop across the street) can whisk you into the center
in minutes. Beyond some Art Deco influences that have been retained, interiors are generally uninspiring. Rooms are pleasant enough, but have yet to be renovated and feel very
dated. There's not much in the way of facilities besides garage parking and a
pleasant cafe-restaurant, though service is efficient and rates are very
reasonable.

Scene
Large chain hotel with mixture of Art Deco touches and drab 1980s styling
The Hotel Ananas
is the largest outpost of the Austria Trend hotel chain and occupies a simple but imposing corner building that first opened its doors in 1987. There are, however, hints of Art Deco (or, in Austria, Jugendstil) styles in the architecture and throughout the hotel lobby, which is awash in gray marble, signature red furnishings, and polished chrome details, all
illuminated by turn-of-the-century-style sconces. A trio of elevators transport guests to one of
eight floors, where the elegant early-20th-century styling is replaced with
rather drab and dated interiors more in line with the hotels late-80s heritage. The restaurant unfortunately channels more of the late-80s, and is a relatively quiet scene. The hotel predominantly attracts business travelers and visitors less interested in tourist sights, or who prefer a good value accommodation to a central location.
Location
Set in Vienna's largely residential Margareten district, close to the Pilgramgasse metro stop
The hotel is
location is a largely residential neighborhood in the Margareten district just
south of Vienna's center. While the main tourist attractions are barely within walking distance, the Pilgramgasse metro stop is essentially across the street and connects you to the central transport hub of Karlsplatz and all the major sights. There are plenty of restaurants
and bars within walking distance, and the shopping area of Mariahilfer
Strasse and Vienna's most popular market, Naschmarkt, are both within 15 minutes on
foot. Wien Westbahnhof, one of the city's main train terminal's is less than 10
minutes away by car, while Vienna's International Airport is around 25 minutes away.
Rooms
Simple style with a choice of pillows, sound-reducing parquet floors, and some street noise
The hotel has a
whopping 522 rooms spread out over its eight floors, all of which are simply
styled with light-wood paneling, traditional patterned fabrics, and
sound-reducing parquet floors. While most rooms feel clean and modern enough, if a bit bland, some
have yet to be renovated and feel dated with signs of wear. Free Wi-Fi extends to
all rooms and flat-screen TVs, a pillow menu, and minibars (with just water)
come standard. Bathrooms are modern and clean, with wall-mounted hairdryers
and soap dispensers. While windows are sound-proofed, street-facing rooms get
some traffic noise -- higher-floor and courtyard-facing rooms are quieter.
Features
Excellent buffet breakfast and secure underground parking -- both for a fee
The hotel serves hot
and cold breakfast buffet each morning with freshly baked pastries and organic
coffee -- however it's not generally included in the rate. Its Johann Strauss café-bar
offers a menu of traditional Viennese coffee house culture -- if not the
ambience -- while the restaurant serves a selection of regional specialties for
lunch and dinner. Free Wi-Fi access is available throughout the hotel, while
underneath is a secure parking garage for up to 35 cars (for a fee). The hotel also has meeting and event spaces.
