Only in Vienna do you find yourself wishing for more than just an ornate 19th-century façade. Such is the premise of the Hotel Josefine, whose elegant Gründerzeit-style exterior conceals rooms that are, if anything, even more sumptuous. Brass accents, rich velvet, and surreal tilework recall Weimar-era glamour, and every detail — real keys for your room, quaint rotary phones, a clawfoot tub, a complimentary bottle of wine — speaks of self-assured, timeless good taste. Downstairs, an honesty bar with a substantial vinyl collection and a Rat Pack–inspired cocktail bar ensure that you needn’t go far to get your Josephine Baker on.
