Hilton Vienna Danube Waterfront is located at Handelskai 269 — directly on the banks of the Danube, in Vienna’s 2nd district. This four-star superior hotel is one of the few properties in Vienna with direct views over the Danube, and is equally suited to business travellers, conference guests and tourists. Its location in the 2nd district brings a practical advantage: Vienna-Schwechat Airport is closer than from most other central Vienna hotels.
From Vienna Airport to Hilton Vienna Danube Waterfront – distance and travel time
Hilton Vienna Danube Waterfront is situated in the 2nd district, at Handelskai 269. The distance from Vienna-Schwechat Airport is approximately 18 kilometres. Under normal traffic conditions, the journey takes just 15 to 20 minutes via the A4 and A23 motorways — one of the shortest transfer times of any central Vienna hotel.
During peak hours, travel time may be slightly longer. Vienna Driver plans your pickup time based on your actual flight arrival, not the original schedule.

Arriving at Vienna Airport – how the transfer works
After landing, follow the signs to baggage claim. Your driver will be waiting in the arrivals hall with a name sign — no searching, no uncertainty. He monitors your flight number and adjusts automatically if your flight is delayed.
From Schwechat, you travel directly to Handelskai 269 — no transfers, no luggage through the city. The direct route via the A4 and A23 makes this one of the fastest and most straightforward transfers into Vienna.
Departing from Hilton Vienna Danube Waterfront to the airport
For the return journey, allow at least 2 hours before departure for intra-European flights, 3 hours for international. Thanks to the short distance, this is one of the more relaxed departures from Vienna — Vienna Driver picks you up directly at the Handelskai entrance.
For early morning flights and late night departures, a pre-booked fixed-price transfer is the most reliable option — a driver outside the hotel at 4 AM, at a price confirmed the evening before.
Conferences, groups and corporate clients
Hilton Vienna Danube Waterfront is one of Vienna’s largest conference hotels with extensive event facilities. For groups and teams arriving together, a van is available with space for up to 7 passengers and 7 suitcases — at a fixed price that divides among the group. More details in our article on group and family transfers.
For corporate clients with recurring transfer needs, we offer a dedicated corporate transfer service — with company invoicing and Meet & Greet at the gate.
