September 09, 2020: Topping out
July 14, 2020: Setup of the Dome
Today the dome is placed onto the roof. The proportions of the construction follow the geometry of the head facade as well as the richly decorated facade in Schadekgasse. This structure completes the ensemble of the roof formation of the related corner buildings.
October 03, 2019: Construction work is forging ahead
Work in Hotel Motto is in full progress. A new roof structure will help to unify the building complex and to create the connection to the existing neighbouring building. The plinth zone is also being redesigned and will integrate all the openings needed such as the hotel entrance, access to the metro line, and delivery access for the shops. A new staircase being built on the courtyard side will connect the staggered floor levels of the two wings and will lead to the roof terrace.
December 07, 2018: Construction work has commenced
Work on the redesign of the former Hotel Kummer on Mariahilfer Strasse in Vienna has already started. Alongside adaptations to ensure that the building meets the most modern hotel standards, it is to be crowned with a glazed rooftop element: this lattice dome will house the restaurant and bar, which will be open to both hotel guests and the general public. The hotel is scheduled to open in 2021 under the new name ‘Hotel Motto’.
