The Ritz-Carlton Vienna occupies four historic palaces at Schubertring 5-7 — directly on the Ringstrasse, a short walk from the Vienna State Opera and the Stadtpark. Guests staying here bring a specific set of expectations to every part of their journey. The transfer from the airport is no exception.
From Vienna Airport to The Ritz-Carlton Vienna – distance and travel time
The Ritz-Carlton Vienna is located in Vienna’s 1st district, at Schubertring 5-7. The distance from Vienna-Schwechat Airport is approximately 20 kilometres. Under normal traffic conditions, the journey takes 20 to 25 minutes via the A4 motorway.
During peak hours — weekday mornings between 7:00 and 9:00 AM and afternoons between 4:00 and 6:00 PM — travel time may be slightly longer. Vienna Driver plans your pickup time based on your actual flight arrival, not the original schedule.
Fixed price from Vienna Airport to The Ritz-Carlton Vienna
The 1st district falls within the price zone with fixed prices from €39 for a sedan. The price applies in both directions — from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel back to the airport.
All prices include VAT, parking fees and the airport entry fee. No meter, no surcharge for traffic or flight delays. What you see when you book is what you pay.
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 will be there on time even if your flight is delayed.
For guests who prefer a more formal arrival, a chauffeur service with limousine is also available — including Meet & Greet at the gate for a discreet and representative transfer from the moment you land.
Departing from The Ritz-Carlton Vienna to the airport
For the return journey from The Ritz-Carlton Vienna to the airport, allow enough lead time. At least 2 hours for intra-European flights, 3 hours for international. Vienna Driver picks you up directly at the hotel entrance on Schubertring.
For early morning flights and late night departures, a pre-booked fixed-price transfer is the most reliable choice — a driver outside the hotel at 4 AM, at a price confirmed the night before.
Business travellers and corporate clients
The Ritz-Carlton Vienna is one of the most frequently chosen addresses for international business travellers and VIP guests.
