Vienna Airport is located outside the city limits, and the journey from the airport to the center of Vienna takes about 20 minutes by car or up to 40 minutes by public transport. If you are landing in Vienna but plan to set out on a driving trip to western or southern Austria, it may be preferable for you to stay overnight at the airport so that you can collect your vehicle quickly in the morning and hit the road without having to pass through Vienna.
Inside Vienna Airport, there are two recommended hotels for accommodation. These places are particularly suitable for an overnight stay for those landing in Vienna in the evening and planning to continue directly from there toward the Salzburg or Tyrol regions. Of course, you can also spend a night at these hotels at the end of your trip if you need to return your car the evening before your flight.
Outside the airport complex, there are several recommended hotels located in nearby villages or on the outskirts of Vienna. The nightly rates at these hotels are cheaper, but it is necessary to take a train or a shuttle to reach them. Don’t worry, we have selected the best hotels where the journey is simple and not long at all!
Hotels Within the Vienna Airport Complex
Please Note: Since there are only two high-quality hotels within the airport itself, these establishments charge particularly high prices. If you are looking to save on accommodation costs, we recommend taking the suburban train (S7) from the airport to a nearby village or the outskirts of Vienna. There, you can find hotels at more realistic prices without a long commute. In the list below, we have included several hotels outside the airport located within a 30-minute train ride.
The two recommended hotels at Vienna Airport are:
1. NH Hotel
The NH chain is known for its quality, and its hotels are pleasant, modern, and offer everything needed, even for a short stay. The hotel has about 500 rooms across various levels. The windows are soundproofed to keep outside noise to a minimum. The rooms are modern and well-equipped, and naturally, there is free Wi-Fi. The breakfast is good, and there is an option for connecting rooms for family stays. It is approximately a 5-minute walk from the airport exit to the hotel. In our opinion, this is the preferred hotel for a comfortable stay at the airport.

Hotels Near the Vienna Airport Complex and on the Outskirts of Vienna
These recommended hotels are located outside the airport, but reaching them is simple, fast, and cheap via the suburban train.
Keep in mind that there are other hotels on the map not listed here, such as Das Reinisch or LifeHotel Vienna Airport, which appear to be very close to the airport. However, ultimately, if you do not want to pay extra for a hotel shuttle, you must take into account that there is about a 20-minute walk from the train station to those hotels—which is not ideal if you are arriving with luggage.
