Topping-out ceremony for Europe's largest wooden hotel at Vienna Airport
A superlative hotel is currently being built at Vienna Airport. The "Vienna House Easy by Wyndham," built by the Viennese MAMMA Group, celebrated its topping-out ceremony on Monday morning. The hotel is scheduled to open its doors by the end of this year and will not only be the largest hotel on the airport site, but also the largest timber-framed hotel in Lower Austria and Europe.
The new hotel fits perfectly into this dynamic environment and makes an important contribution to the state's bed offensive, which aims to develop Lower Austria from an excursion destination to a vacation destination. Of the targeted 4.000 additional beds, over 2022 have already been built since 1.000, and the "Vienna House Easy by Wyndham" will nearly double this number.
Herbert Pinzolits, owner and CEO of the MAMMA Group, highlighted the hotel's innovative concept and sustainable construction. He described the project as a milestone for the European hotel industry, both in terms of its size and its ecological responsibility. The "Vienna House Easy" uses a wood-hybrid construction method and, upon completion, will be the largest wood-construction hotel in Europe with 510 rooms.
Wolfgang Scheibenpflug, Head of Real Estate and Site Management at Flughafen Wien AG, sees the new "Vienna House Easy" as the next phase in the development of Airport City. It ideally complements the diverse infrastructure offering, which includes convenient access to terminals and rail infrastructure, modern office and event space, and, in the future, over 1.400 hotel rooms.
