Top choice in Prater & East of the Danube
Wow, what a view! Take the lift to Das Loft on the Sofitel's 18th floor to reduce Vienna to toy-town scale. From this slinky, glass-walled lounge, you can pick out landmarks such as the Stephansdom and the Hofburg over a tonka-bean sour or a mojito. By night, the backlit ceiling swirls with an impressionist painter's palette of colours.
Prices are also sky-high. There is a restaurant here too.
