The Haas-Haus is a mixed-use
building containing a hotel, a restaurant, a
café, and a sales room for an international
fashion chain.It was one of the most
controversial building in Vienna because
introducing a modern concrete and glass
structure opposite Saint Stephen's Cathedral
did not go down well with the Viennese
population.
However, today the "About Vienna.org"
describes it as, "one of the most exciting
buildings in Vienna and the city's pride.
The square of St. Stephen's Cathedral is
opened up by the glass facade. Images of
St. Stephen's Cathedral reflected by the
straight glass facade of Haas House are a
popular motif. The interior was
designed with attention to detail. At the
top you can enjoy a spectacular view of
St. Stephen's Cathedral at a beautiful
coffee shop and restaurant."
