The Ruby brand stands for urbanity and addresses target groups who are looking for real experiences, inspiration and individuality during their travels as well as during their hotel stay. The design concept of the Ruby Sofie Hotel Wien was strongly guided by the goal of capturing the unique history of the building. In the boutique hotel with 77 rooms, the history of the Sofiensäle lives on in lovingly staged details. In the bar photos and other memorabilia are reminiscent of the many personalities who have already been guests: the Strauss', Liszt and Léhar, Böhm, Solti, Karajan and Bernstein, Glass, Brubeck, May, Mann, Suttner, Trakl and Kraus, Kraftwerk, Falco, and many more. Each room has its own personal "godfather", to which individual decoration pieces, pictures and quotes refer in the room. Stylistically, very different stylistic devices and stylistic epochs were deliberately combined: In the rooms, for example, classic wall paneling made of old wood contrasts with white high-gloss furniture, antique stucco moldings with an all-glass shower in the room.
The growing style mix of European cities also characterizes the other room details; For example, in the form of antique drawing chairs or converted to bedside lamps former advertising illuminated letters. Charming individual pieces with patina and their own history shape the design of all Ruby rooms, each individually and differently.
Open-pored wood in warm tones and high-quality textiles in cream and white create a luxurious basic ambience.

Particular attention is paid to the lighting mood, staged with 12+ narrow LED spots per room. The entire lighting control is infinitely dimmable and easily switchable for the guest. Separately switchable luminaires on the washbasin and at the desk additionally ensure optimal functional lighting. The rest of the room amenities are also inferior to luxury hotels: quality bedding and bath textiles, oversized beds with 30cm high 7-zone pocket spring mattress and 40 "HD TVs are standard in every room. In addition, emphasis was placed on generous equipment with sockets and USB ports for smartphones and other electronic companions.
However, due to its intelligent floor plans and modular room architecture, the Ruby Sofie Hotel Vienna has an area efficiency that is even superior to many budget hotels; this amounts to a total of 30 sqm GFA per room, including all ancillary areas and public areas.
The entire hotel has a high energy and water consumption efficiency; For example, the lighting is completely implemented in LED technology. In terms of sustainability, equipment and materials with a low carbon footprint were preferred.
