Das Loft

Das Loft is one of Vienna’s most visually striking fine dining destinations, occupying the top floor of the SO/ Vienna hotel in the second district and offering panoramic views across the city’s rooftops, spires, and the distant Wienerwald hills. The restaurant was designed by the visionary Ron Arad, whose dramatic ceiling installation — a translucent, luminous cloud of geometric forms — creates a space of arresting beauty that has become one of Vienna’s most photographed interiors. The kitchen delivers modern European cuisine prepared with high-quality ingredients and contemporary technique, creating a menu that is ambitious and refined without sacrificing the accessibility expected of a hotel dining destination with broad international appeal. Dishes are seasonally informed and visually composed, with a balance of indulgence and restraint that suits the occasion-driven clientele the setting naturally attracts. The wine list is broad and expertly assembled, with a strong European base supplemented by thoughtful international selections. Service is professional and efficient, designed to maintain the energy of a cosmopolitan luxury hotel dining room while delivering a standard of attentiveness appropriate to fine dining. Das Loft is particularly sought after for celebratory occasions, romantic dinners, and corporate entertaining, where the combination of exceptional views, dramatic interior design, and accomplished cuisine creates an evening of guaranteed distinction. The sunset and evening hours are when the space is at its most spectacular.
