Right in the centre of Vienna's vibrant 15th district and next to Mariahilf is Wood, one of NUMA’s unique and sustainable locations in Austria. The name’s no coincidence—Wood was built from the, well, wood of 1,500 spruces, all harvested from sustainably managed forests. But that’s not all—1,500 seeds of the same variety of spruce were planted in nearby Heiligenkreuz. In a city full of elegant stone and contemporary concrete, Wood offers something entirely different: light, unstained timber to keep things fresh and light. It’s warm, it’s inviting, it’s relaxed and vibey, all while giving guests that peaceful, easy feeling of being one with nature.
Vienna’s always worth the trip, but if you really want to feel like a local, Wood’s the way to go. With an eye on the environment, NUMA puts guests at the heart of Vienna's three most vibrant districts. Forget about Sissi and Schnitzel for a minute—NUMA is all about living like a local. At Wood, guests can have it all—their fill of baroque churches and the thrill of trendy bars and hip clubs. Visit Wood to do Vienna differently.
With its novel hosting concept and smart tech solutions, NUMA combines consistent boutique hotel quality with unprecedented flexibility. Whether you're just staying for the weekend or settling down for longer, whether you're a business traveller or a city nomad–the tastefully decorated rooms and apartments combine technology and design and welcome guests of all kinds. NUMA means stays with soul.
Like all our NUMA locations, Wood has more to offer than an exceptional location. In addition to a stress-free online check-in and a PIN code to access the building and rooms, we save you the hassle of waiting in line—and spare you from those easily-lost key cards. So you'll be in your beautiful sustainable room faster, where we've designed every inch to make you feel right at home. Especially after a long day in such a vibrant and exciting city as Vienna, the omnipresent scent of Wood feels like an oasis of relaxation.
Super-fast wifi, high-quality premium mattresses, sustainable coffee and hot insider tips for exploring your neighbourhood are just some of the little things that make a big difference.
Vienna’s Mariahilf is a lively, eclectic neighbourhood packed with galleries, street art, cafes and restaurants, and at Wood, you’re right in the middle of it all. Colourful and creative, the district’s home to some of the city's best cultural and culinary highlights, like the much-loved Naschmarkt. Here’s a tip: take a detour down some of the alleys and side streets of the neighbourhood—with some of the city’s best cocktails, cafes and art spaces, you’ll be glad you did.
If that’s not your style, fear not—there’s something for every taste. Whether it’s theatre or Prater, Wiener Schnitzel or Sachertorte, coffee creations or a cold beer on the banks of the Old Danube—at the end of your visit you’ll be singing "Vienna, Vienna, only you alone!"
Wood has only been open for a few months, but it’s already turning heads—including in the international media. The most influential think tank in European trend and future research, Zukunftsinstitut, recognised Wood as demonstrating best practices for "Sustainable Building" in their Home Report 2022. With seven stories of radical design concepts, Wood is physical proof of how NUMA is disrupting the hospitality sector.
