Best Hotels Near Vienna Airport
Now let’s look at the hotels in more detail.
Some are within walking distance of the terminals, while others are better for lower prices, quieter stays, or planned airport transfers.
NH Vienna Airport Conference Center – from €140
NH Vienna Airport Conference Center is the first hotel I would check for a very early flight. It sits directly across from the arrivals hall, so you can walk to the terminal without waiting for a shuttle, booking a taxi, or worrying about morning train times.
The rooms have soundproofed windows, which is reassuring when you are sleeping beside a busy airport. There are also family connecting rooms, making it a practical choice if you are travelling with children and several suitcases.
What makes it feel more complete than a basic airport stopover is the wellness area. You can use the gym, sauna, and steam room, then have dinner at the hotel’s restaurant or a drink at the bar without heading back outside.
I would choose NH when convenience matters more than saving a little on the room. Waking up and simply walking across to the airport can be worth it before a 6:00 AM flight.
Best for: very early flights, late arrivals, families with luggage, overnight layovers, and the easiest walk to the terminals.
Moxy Vienna Airport – from €120
Moxy Vienna Airport is a good choice if you want to stay within walking distance of the terminals but prefer a more casual hotel than NH Vienna Airport.
The hotel is around 450 metres from Terminals 1 and 3, with a direct tunnel connection to Terminal 3 and the airport train station. There is no airport shuttle, but you should not need one because you can walk between the hotel and the terminals.
Inside, Moxy feels lively rather than formal. Check-in takes place at the bar, the lobby has communal seating, and the 24-hour Grab & Go area is useful if you arrive late or need food before the airport restaurants open. Breakfast begins at 6:00 AM, and there is also a 24-hour gym.
The rooms are modern but compact, with walk-in showers and practical wall storage instead of large wardrobes. I would choose Moxy for a quick airport night, especially if I wanted somewhere easy, modern, and less business-like.
Best for: early flights, late arrivals, short stopovers, couples, solo travelers, and a casual airport stay.
LifeHotel Vienna Airport – from €90
LifeHotel Vienna Airport is worth checking if you want a lower-priced stay near the airport without paying for a hotel beside the terminals. It is about 5 kilometres from Vienna Airport, so you cannot walk there as you can from NH or Moxy.
The hotel offers a 24-hour airport shuttle on request. The current listed price is €37 per room for a return transfer, and it is not normally included in the room rate. After booking, request the shuttle through the hotel and confirm your pickup time and meeting point in advance.
The rooms are simple and soundproofed, and reception is open around the clock with drinks and small snacks available. This makes it a practical choice for a short overnight stay, particularly when the room price plus transfer still costs less than staying directly at the terminal.
Best for: lower-priced stay, short overnight stops, late arrivals, and travelers who do not mind using an airport shuttle.
Das Reinisch Hotel – from €120
Das Reinisch Hotel is a good choice if you want to stay close to Vienna Airport without sleeping beside the terminals. It is around 4 kilometres away, usually about seven minutes by car.
The quieter location is one of its biggest advantages. It sits outside the main flight paths, so it feels more relaxing than a typical airport stopover. You will also find a sauna, fitness room, and an on-site restaurant serving Austrian and international dishes.
The hotel does not currently advertise its own airport shuttle, so the easiest option is usually a short taxi ride. Free parking is also available during your stay, depending on availability.
Best for: quiet stays near Vienna Airport, travelers with a car, couples, longer stopovers, and guests who do not mind taking a short taxi ride.
Hotel Das Himberg – from €130
Hotel Das Himberg is a comfortable 4-star option if you prefer a quieter stay outside the airport area. Vienna Airport is around 15 minutes away by car, making it a good choice when you want more space and a calmer night before flying.
The hotel can help arrange an airport transfer when you share your flight details in advance. Inside, the rooms have a clean, modern style, and there is also a café and bar where you can relax before your journey.
Outdoor and underground parking are available, which is especially convenient if you are travelling by car.
Best for: quieter overnight stays, car travelers, couples, and guests who prefer a comfortable four-star hotel within easy reach of Vienna Airport.
Hilton Vienna Park – from €170
Hilton Vienna Park is the city option to consider when your flight is later and you would rather spend your final night in Vienna than beside the airport.
The hotel is next to Stadtpark and close to Wien Mitte station, where the City Airport Train runs non-stop to Vienna Airport in around 16 minutes. That gives you an easy airport route while keeping restaurants, shops, and central sights within walking distance.
Inside, you will find spacious rooms, a fitness center, the LENZ restaurant, Selleny’s bar, and an Executive Lounge. It works especially well when you want a comfortable final evening in the city without making the next morning too complicated.
Best for: later morning flights, a final night in Vienna, families, couples, and travelers who want easy access to Wien Mitte.

Hotels Near Vienna Airport With Shuttle or Easy Airport Access
The easiest option depends on whether you want to walk to the terminal or arrange a short transfer.
| Hotel | Airport access | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| NH Vienna Airport | Walk across from the arrivals hall | The easiest early-flight stay |
| Moxy Vienna Airport | Around 450 metres from Terminals 1 and 3, with a tunnel link to Terminal 3 | A modern hotel within walking distance |
| LifeHotel Vienna Airport | Airport transfer or taxi from Fischamend | A lower-priced stay near the airport |
| Das Reinisch Hotel | About 4 kilometres away by taxi or car | A quieter night close to the airport |
| Hotel Das Himberg | Around 15 minutes by taxi, car, or an arranged shuttle | A comfortable stay away from the terminal area |
| Hilton Vienna Park | City Airport Train from nearby Wien Mitte | Staying in Vienna before a later flight |
NH Vienna Airport and Moxy are the simplest choices when you want to walk to the terminal. LifeHotel offers airport transfers, while Hotel Das Himberg can organise a shuttle when you share your flight details. Das Reinisch is best reached by a short taxi or car ride.
Hilton Vienna Park works differently because you stay in the city and travel from Wien Mitte. The City Airport Train reaches Vienna Airport in around 16 minutes, making it more suitable when your flight is later in the morning.
Vienna Airport Hotel or City Center: Which Is Better?
Staying near Vienna Airport is usually worth it when your flight leaves very early, you arrive late at night, or you have heavy luggage and want the simplest possible journey. Being able to walk to the terminal or take a short transfer can make the final night much less stressful.
The city center makes more sense when your flight leaves later in the morning and you still want to enjoy Vienna before leaving. Staying near Wien Mitte can be a useful middle ground because you remain close to the city while keeping a direct airport connection nearby.
As a simple rule, choose an airport hotel when convenience matters most. Choose Vienna when you have enough time to enjoy the city and reach the airport comfortably.
Final Recommendation: Which Hotel Should You Choose?
If you want the easiest stay near Vienna Airport, start with NH Vienna Airport Conference Center. It is the most straightforward choice if your priority is staying close to the terminal.
If you want a modern airport hotel, check Moxy Vienna Airport. Still within walking distance but with a more modern, casual atmosphere.
If you want a cheaper nearby hotel, compare LifeHotel Vienna Airport. It can work well if you want to save money while still staying close to the airport area.
If you prefer a quieter stay, look at Das Reinisch Hotel or Hotel Das Himberg. These are better if you want more calm and do not need to sleep directly beside the terminal.
If your flight is later and you still want to enjoy Vienna, check Hilton Vienna Park.
