"Sure, in some ways, Vienna is among the most traditional of cities. But it’s often against a backdrop of entrenched conservatism that the most radical experiments take flight. Like its sister, the Graetzlhotel Belvedere, the Graetzlhotel Karmelitermarkt’s suites are made from disused storefronts, in this case near the Karmelitermarkt, an open-air market just to the northeast of Vienna’s city center. And like its sisters — there’s also the Meidlinger Markt — it’s a relatively low-maintenance, high-independence affair, an effort by the Urbanauts group to allow visitors to live, to the greatest possible extent, like Viennese locals." - Tablet Hotels
