Hotel Beds in Vienna Are Soaring

City tourism in Vienna has started the year 2025 with momentum. Overnight bookings in hotels and guesthouses increased by 9 percent to 2.2 million in the first two calendar months compared to the same period last year. According to Vienna Tourism, the average room occupancy improved from 49 to 50 percent, and bed occupancy from 38 to 38.7 percent. However, demand increased more than revenue.

Revenue Slightly Increased

The net overnight revenue, which is only available for January for now, reached 69.1 million euros in that one month, as announced by Vienna Tourism on Monday. This was an increase of only 1 percent compared to the same month last year.

In February, the demand dynamics in accommodation establishments slowed down somewhat - bookings increased by 6 percent to 1.1 million; in January, the increase was significantly stronger at 10 percent to 1.1 million overnight stays.

More and More Hotel Beds in Vienna

In light of the flourishing city tourism, the overnight accommodation offer in the federal capital is growing unabated. In February, 79,500 hotel beds were available in Vienna - 6,400 more, or an increase of 8.7 percent compared to the same month last year. Compared to the previous month of January alone, the number of beds in Vienna increased by 600.

The average room occupancy in February this year was 52 percent, the same as the previous year, while bed occupancy slightly improved from 39.7 to 40 percent. In January, occupancy was weaker at 49 percent (rooms) and 37.5 percent (beds) than in February, but better than in January 2024 (around 47 and 36.5 percent, respectively).
