Project Info

Magic is a big, auspicious word. However, at Esterházygasse 33 in Vienna, in the hotel “Die Josefine” and its “Barfly's Club”, which also serves as the breakfast room – it becomes an undeniable presence, felt in every corner. The result is a distinctive and exceptional fusion of various styles and epochs. Vintage was never the focal point, nor was it about incorporating old furniture. Everything was reimagined, reinterpreted, and a substantial portion of the interior was custom-crafted by hand, perfectly complementing the unique characteristics of the space.

refreshingly different

Josefine, You Alone

The challenge of reinventing an old hotel in a Wilhelminian style house in Vienna became truly unique with an extremely tight schedule. A place that embraces you with colors, furnishings and equipment and lets you discover something new again and again in its thoughtfully arranged details.

Vienna braid

The sustainable palm strand covering, known from Thonet chairs, is used for bed headboards and wall elements.

High-quality materials

Velvet, brass, green marble and details such as Ben Reyer's golden mirror create an elegant feel-good atmosphere.

Feel colorful

Heavy colors in the corridors as well as in the upholstered furniture and accessories make it very easy to feel comfortable.
