General Info

  • WHAT IS ZOKU?
    Facilitating global living and working for the traveling professional, Zoku is a home-office hybrid, also suitable for long stays, with the services of a hotel and the social buzz of a thriving neighborhood. Zoku is a relaxed place to live, work and socialize with like-minded people while getting wired into the city.
  • WHERE IS ZOKU Vienna LOCATED?
    We’re located on Perspektivstr. 6, in the vibrant Leopoldstadt neighborhood, just 10 minutes away by metro from the city center. This district has become the ideal location to escape the busy touristic center of Vienna, while being within walking distance of must-see sights, such as the Wiener Riesenrad (the Giant Ferris Wheel). Just a short walk from public transport lines, it’s the perfect location to get wired into the city and experience Vienna just like a local. Within walking distance of the Vienna University of Economics and Business, the Messe Wien Conference Center, and the iconic Prater Park, Zoku Vienna is a central hub for business travelers, tourists and locals alike.

Each Loft sleeps two and contains a full living room, kitchen, bathroom and a big kitchen table.
