Christina Pritz
Plans your event until the schedule is set. On the phone Monday to Friday, 9:00 to 17:00.
Event venue in Vienna city centre · 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, in Vienna’s city centre, the hall and the kitchen belong together. By day, light falls through the dome; in the evening, the lighting brings out the architecture. 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.
Packages per person
Three formats with clear prices. Choose what suits your occasion.
A fourth hour of drinks, a midnight snack, Champagne instead of sparkling wine and a stage can be booked individually; projector, motorised screen and mixing desk together €450 net. The hire reduction scale is not yet included in the packages. If your event reaches a revenue level, the proposal gets cheaper.
Your guest number is not listed? We will calculate itHiring the Saal only: hall hire by time slot and revenue
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.
| Time slot | Base price | from €9,000 revenue −25 % | from €12,000 revenue −50 % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Morning8:00 to 12:00 | 950 € | no reduction | no reduction |

| Day and evening8:00 to 2:00 | 3,500 € | 2.625 € | 1.750 € |
Revenue: food and drinks of the whole event, net. Time slots: morning 8:00 to 12:00 · day 8:00 to 17:00 · evening 17:00 to 2:00 · day and evening 8:00 to 2:00. With an evening booking, set-up from 15:00 at no extra charge. Later finishes by arrangement. Courtyard: fixed fee, no reduction scale.

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.

Kitchen and service

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 (in German). We need the final guest number three working days in advance. We charge for that number, but at least 80 % of the number given at booking.
Reply and people
You receive your proposal within two working days – and you know who will be looking after your event.
If your date is already taken, we will suggest available alternatives.
- What you get
- A proposal with room, schedule, price per person and total. One page, not a folder.
- What happens next
- 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.
