Events · Wollzeile 1 and Lugeck 6, 1010 Vienna

Two toques, one glass dome.A hall for 150 guests, two minutes from St Stephen’s Cathedral.

Many event venues are hired out empty and the food is brought in. Here, the hall and the kitchen belong together. By day, light falls through the dome; in the evening, light and architecture set the room in scene. The Saal measures 239 m² and is almost nine metres high; together with courtyard and restaurant, the house holds up to 230 guests.

Kitchen

The next day, your guests will still be talking about the food. That is what the two toques stand for.

At events, too, our restaurant team works with the same produce and partner farms as in the à la carte service.

Everything is cooked fresh in-house, even for 130 guests. The kitchen is Austrian, regional and seasonal: in December the menu looks different from June.

Prices

Prices before you ask. And how they fall with the number of guests.

So that you can judge your budget early, our prices are right here.

All amounts are net, plus VAT; every proposal shows net and gross. The packages per person include the room, basic technical equipment, food and drinks. There is no minimum spend; between the guest numbers shown we calculate linearly.

Hall hire

The hall hire falls as food and drink revenue rises.

The more that is eaten and drunk at your event, the lower the hall hire: from €12,000 of food and drink revenue it drops from €2,600 to €1,300.

Factsheet

The key information before your enquiry – to unfold, copy and forward.

Location and getting here

Address

Main entrance to the Saal: Wollzeile 1. Restaurant, bar and courtyard: Lugeck 6. One house, two sides, both in the first district.

Getting here

U1 and U3 to Stephansplatz or U1 and U4 to Schwedenplatz; from both stations it is only a few minutes on foot. From the airport take the CAT or S7 to Wien Mitte and then the U4 one stop to Schwedenplatz. Please give your guests the address of their area.

Parking

There are no private parking spaces in the first district. The nearest car parks are at Stephansplatz, two minutes on foot, and at Schwedenplatz, four minutes on foot. The surrounding streets are a short-term parking zone. For groups the underground is usually quicker.

Deliveries

Via Lugeck, at ground level. External furniture, decoration and equipment by arrangement.

In the house

Accessibility

The whole house is accessible: Saal, restaurant, bar, courtyard and toilets.

Hours

Events in the Saal are possible every day from 8:00 to 2:00, longer by arrangement. The restaurant is open Monday to Friday from 11:30 to 24:00 and Saturday from 10:00 to 24:00.

Music curfew

In the Saal until 2:00, in the courtyard and the restaurant until 24:00.

Technology

Sound and light system, ambient lighting, wireless microphones, music system for your playlist, fibre Wi-Fi and air conditioning are included in the packages. Projector, motorised screen and mixing desk are charged at €450 net. Anything beyond that we arrange through our technical partner.

Furniture and equipment

Standing tables, chairs, round gala tables and long tables, stage elements, cloakroom – included in the packages; with room hire only, listed as a separate item. Floral decoration and external furniture are added as separate items.

Kitchen and service

Kitchen

Austrian, regional and seasonal, interpreted in a modern way. We cook with what the season provides and with produce from farms we know.

Gault&Millau two toques · Falstaff two forks · MICHELIN Guide selected · Gaumen Hoch · organic and AMA certified · Austrian Ecolabel · Slow Food

Your own suppliers

Agency, photography, band, DJ and decoration: we are happy to organise them, but you may also bring your own suppliers at no extra charge. Food and drinks come from the house; external catering is not possible.

Exclusivity

On your date the Saal belongs to your party alone; no second event runs there in parallel. The restaurant stays in normal operation and the toilets are separate. If you want the whole house to yourself, book restaurant and Saal together.

Proposal and contract

Terms

All prices net, plus VAT; every proposal shows net and gross. The proposal is valid for ten days – during that time your date is held for you. It becomes binding only with your written confirmation; a 30 percent deposit is then due, with the final invoice after the event. This applies to the Saal and to exclusive use of the restaurant; groups in the restaurant pay no deposit.

Cancellation and rescheduling

Up to 90 days before the date you can cancel or reschedule free of charge. After that a sliding scale applies, set out in the proposal and in the terms and conditions. We need the final guest number three days in advance; until then you can change it at no extra cost.

Reply and people

You get a reply within two working days – and you know who will be looking after your event.

If your date is already taken, we will suggest free alternatives.

What you get
A proposal with room, schedule, price per person and total. One page, not a folder.
How it continues
A viewing whenever suits you, in the evening with the Saal laid if you like. An option on the date by arrangement, until you have decided.
If it ever takes longer
Just call. In the season things get busy – but we still do not want to keep you waiting.
