A by Adina to hit the heights in Austria

Australian hotel brand A by Adina is to make its debut in Europe next year.

The homegrown premium hospitality outfit will debut in the Austrian capital of Vienna.

A by Adina Vienna Danube’s infinity pool will have views overlooking St Franziskus Church and the Reichsbrücke.

TFE hotels says construction well underway on the 48-storey DANUBEFLATS - Austria's tallest residential tower, which will be 180 metres high.

A by Adina Vienna Danube will move into the precinct in early 2025, aiming to satiate demand for luxury short-term apartment style accommodation.

A by Adina will offer 108 premium apartments in the DANUBEFLATS building, with apartments ranging from 23 square metres to 64 square metres across a range of studios, one- and two-bedroom room types.

Hotel guests will also have access to that panoramic headed pool overlooking Vienna's old town, a wellness area, business lounge with meeting rooms.

In addition to the hotel, the building will house 500 privately financed residential units. A restaurant and a supermarket are planned for the ground floor and parking will be available in the underground garage. Stay tuned.

Meet a cocktail that's good enough to eat

It is cocktail time.

When the sun comes out and Australians head outdoors - and upstairs - then cocktails come into their own.

Sydney cocktail bar Dean & Nancy’s on 22 - promoted as a homage to classic hotel bars of golden eras past - overlooks the city from the A by Adina Hotel in downtown Sydney.

Its new Above the Clouds cocktail menu features the venue’s first edible cocktail: Rocketman (above) - which is an astronaut-shaped ice-cream crafted from Haku Vodka and Mapo lemon and fior di latte ice-cream.

Other highlights across the new menu include the Space Taco with taco spice mix-infused Patron tequila; Alien on Holiday with pistachio orgeat syrup, Hendrick’s Gin, fino sherry, lime, aloe vera, and green kiwi; plus the Starry Night (below) with Roku gin, mango, kaffir lime leaf, tincture, and Perrier.



“Living and working in a microgravity environment requires culinary ingenuity and creativity,” says restaurant and bar manager Stefano Filardi, who clearly talks the talk.

“Back on earth, we’ve applied a similar technique to create a cocktail menu that reflects the energy of the city as seen from Level 22 and above.”

Above the Clouds features 17 playful cocktails, many of them edging the $30 mark.

Dean & Nancy on 22, Level 22, 2 Hunter St, Sydney NSW. Open Monday-Sunday: 4:30pm till late.
