Awarded the Muvamo "Skyline Sips" Award for Vienna’s most stylish rooftop cocktail experience.
Aurora Rooftop Bar – Stylish Skyline View
Aurora Rooftop Bar is relatively new on Vienna’s nightlife scene, having opened with the launch of the Andaz Vienna Am Belvedere in 2019. The bar is part of the hotel’s larger design concept, which celebrates contemporary Austrian art, architecture, and innovation. But Aurora takes a distinct turn northward – its name and concept are inspired by the Scandinavian aesthetic and the atmospheric phenomenon of the Northern Lights.
Aurora Rooftop Bar is located on the 16th floor of the Andaz Hotel. Here visitors can enjoy some of the best views in the city in a setting that champions detail, design, and local engagement. The bar’s interiors were carefully curated to evoke a modern Nordic lodge: clean lines, organic materials, and a cozy, understated elegance that contrasts beautifully with the expansive views just outside the glass.
What also makes Aurora Rooftop Bar interesting is how it’s integrated into the cultural flow of the surrounding area. Located near Vienna’s Belvedere district and the Quartier Belvedere urban development zone, it’s part of a newly energized pocket of the city that blends heritage with modernity. You’re just minutes from historical landmarks, but Aurora feels decidedly now – a gathering place for Vienna’s design-forward crowd, business creatives, and savvy travelers.
The cocktail program is a central feature of Aurora’s identity. It leans heavily on Nordic ingredients and sensibilities – minimalist in presentation but complex in flavor. This influence carries through into the food as well, with a seasonal selection of small plates and bites that complement the drinks without overwhelming them.
In a city known for its tradition and grandeur, Aurora offers something different: a place where you can enjoy Vienna from a modern perspective, both literally and figuratively.
