Description:
A warm welcome to you at your Hotel Stefanie on Taborstrasse, in the heart of Vienna! Let us sweep you away on a trip through the past, while you enjoy the comfort of a modern 4-star hotel. Taborstrasse has always had a special significance as an access road to the imperial city of Vienna. Beginning in the early 1400s, the most important inns for businessmen, coachmen and waggoners were situated here, directly in front of the walls surrounding what was then Vienna proper. To this day, the neighbourhood is a good jumping-off-point for visitors to Vienna. Most major sites can be quickly and easily reached by foot. <br> In the seventeenth century, Taborstrasse experience a veritable "hotel boom" - a document dated 04 May 1630 granted the owners of the buildings at the beginning of the street the privilege to "house strangers and serve food in return for money". The first historical mention of Hotel Stefanie dates back to the year 1703. A certain Josepha Winkler acquired the "Weiße Rose" (White Rose) at Taborstrasse 12 - the present-day Hotel Stefanie - in 1728. Seventy years later, in 1798, the "Weiße Rose" was mentioned in Vienna's first hotel guide. Incidentally: of all the hotels listed in that guide, only three have survived to the present day.
