From now on you can also stay overnight in car 28 of the Wiener Riesenrad, which is located in the Prater. In cooperation with the hotel and hostel operator Superbude, the owners of the landmarks have set up a pop-up hotel room.

This is a little vintage style. Despite the comparatively small room, interesting amenities are offered, such as a disco ball, a record player and an old television. The bed is very wide and attractively designed. The “floating hotel room” is definitely an eye-catcher.

A question that many people immediately ask: is there a toilet or what if you have to go at night? There is no quiet place, but a walkie-talkie, with which one can be shut down at any time at night and visit the washrooms of the Ferris wheel operator. Incidentally, breakfast is served in the nearby Hotel Superbude.

Normally you can not book the overnight stays. These will be raffled off in cooperation with Austrian Airlines. The winners will then be provided with flight tickets, an overnight stay in the Hotel Superbude and one night in the Riesenrad Hotel and, according to the initiators, should not have to pay anything.

It is a temporary “hotel attraction”. One now observes the international response and decides at a later point in time how long the “floating hotel room” will be offered. Efforts have obviously been made with the design. When asked how one came up with the idea of ​​setting up a hotel room in a Ferris wheel wagon, the managing director of Superbude told Aviation.Direct that he was on beer and stilts with the Riesenrad boss in the Prater and the idea was born and implemented .

The following slide show shows what the Ferris Wheel Hotel looks like:
