magdas HOTEL
Social Business Hotel.
Under the name of “magdas HOTEL im Stephanushaus”, a former clerical residence is being transformed into a new hotel with 85 guest rooms and an in-house restaurant with sidewalk tables and a garden dining area.
BWM Architekten are responsible for the overall concept of this sensitive conversion. Their aim is to preserve the character of the building – a typical example of moderate modernism with many charming details – with the utmost care, while integrating the magdas HOTEL lifestyle. The genius loci of the Stephanushaus as a spiritual place will endure in the quiet, contemplative hotel rooms. And the idea of human interaction and community is reinterpreted, for instance, in the preservation of the noteworthy chapel on the 6th floor. On the ground floor the building opens up to its urban surroundings and the restaurant’s large windows invite passers-by to come in. The sidewalk tables in Ungargasse and the dining area in the garden facing Krummgasse are new locations for people to meet up in the 3rd district.
