Recognised as one of the greatest composers, Vienna was the focal point of Ludwig van Beethoven's life for more than 35 years. A voyage after his footprints in this amazing capital city. Beautiful Vienna is considered the classic music capital of the world.
Beethoven’s contribution to this reputation is significant, moving to the city from Germany. Since 1792 onwards the composer lived permanently here in Heiligenstadt, famous for its baths with a mineral-rich spring with healing qualities.
Beethoven sought to cure, or at least alleviate, his hearing disorder. In this house he wrote to his brother a never sent letter expressing his despair over his worsening deafness.
In the House of Music, Vienna's interactive sound museum, one can observe Beethoven’s work and confront him and the greatest musicians of our time. Thru Beethoven’s genius one can also experience the future of digital music and virtual reality.
The Beethoven Frieze, a monumental fresco by Gustav Klimt, is on display in the famous Secession Building. Klimt was inspired by a statue of the composer by Max Klinger, which also the composer's music.
The Historic Café Frauenhuber is the oldest in Vienna, located in a building dated back in 1746. Mozart and Beethoven played here their divine music.
In a building were the composer resided for a short while, Oliver Jauk operates proudly his magical Ludvig Van restaurant
with not to be missed unconventional gastronomy and an endless surprising Austrian wine selection, all inspired by unconventionality, just like the composer.
We chose a totally renewed historical building of the elegant Beethoven hotel as our home. This is a hotel for Viennese enthusiasts, reflecting endless magnificent aspects of the city’s heritage. Guests can be impressed by the pure elegance, a blend of class and modern hospitality.
“If you are a music lover then you are here in the right spot. The building was inaugurated in 1902 for residents and only in 1954 it was transformed to a hotel by the widow of the owners, a family of carriages company”, says Barbara Ludwig, both owner and hotel’s General Manager. “In the 1970s bathrooms were added to each room. Owner Helene Jungreuthmeier’s grandson was an admirer of Beethoven music and he decided to name the hotel after his prefered composer in the 1990s. Over the years I knew one day I would own this hotel and in 2009 I invested everything I had and made the Beehoven mine. Eversince the hotel was totally renovated into a unique boutique hotel with a theme. Each of the 6 floors and the 47 rooms has been decorated on a theme, reflecting an aspect of Viennese life. From the turn of the century writers of coffeehouses to the Beethoven era onto the Secession, every room tells a different story. Original fabrics in high-end reproductions and so many hand picked details make up the interior design. Each room reflects the life of an important historical figure”, she says.
The rooms are truly pampering - An imaginative interior design for guests that cherish the culture of this city. The Beethoven makes a statement at dawn. Breakfast is luxury level, elegant and enjoyable and the Ludwig bar is the talk of the city managed by vivacious award winning Isabella Lombardo, presenting the hotel’s signature cocktail- the Ludwig.
Following Beethoven in Vienna, a break to cherish.
