Concierge Secrets
Three profound tips from the dedicated concierge team of Park Hyatt Vienna for those who want to experience or shop something special in and around Vienna.
2. Young scene and Jewish Vienna
Those who want to follow the traces of Jewish Vienna should not miss the Karmeliterviertel. Just ten minutes’ walk from Park Hyatt Vienna – beyond the Danube Canal – there is the popular Karmelitermarkt as well as the so-called Jewish
Quarter. Until 1938, it was one of the centers of Jewish culture. After the war, the quarter again became the home of those Viennese Jews who survived the Holocaust. Since then, it has experienced continuous revival and is considered
trendy today: synagogues, temples, as well as kosher shops and restaurants have resettled here.

1. Understated fashion luxury from Switzerland in the heart of Vienna
Worldwide, only a few fashion houses have a 100-year family tradition. As the only Swiss fashion company, Akris is present at Paris Fashion Week and stands out with clear lines and surprising themes. Akris has long become a symbol of
understated luxury, as can be seen in the outfit of the model in the Treasuries-fashion story. Of course, this Akris minimalism is also available in Vienna: the noble shop is located in the middle of the city at Tauchlauben 8, just a four-minute walk from Park Hyatt.

3. Klosterneuburg Abbey
Northwest of Vienna is Klosterneuburg Abbey, built in the 12th century and expanded 600 years later by Emperor Charles VI after the model of the Spanish Escorial. A baroque palace residence was to be created. However, the Klosterneuburger Escorial remained an “Escorialerl”; the ambitious project failed due to financing. It is highly
recommended to take part in the “Great Abbey Tour”. The 90-minute tour includes all the highlights, such as the abbey church, the cloister with the famous Verdun Altar, and the viewing of the imperial rooms and the Marble Hall.
