Where to stay in Speising
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Speising is residential ground. Travellers who choose it usually want the quiet of the Riedelgasse streets and Lainz within walking distance, accepting that the rooms and the restaurants sit a short ride away in Hietzing. Hetzendorf is the other fallback, just over a kilometre off. Book in Speising itself and you trade choice for calm streets around the Versorgungsheimkirche.

About Speising
What are the main landmarks in Speising?
Six names carry Speising, and most are churches. The Pfarrkirche und Ordenskirche Maria - Heil der Kranken serves the parish, the Spitalskirche Speising and the Versorgungsheimkirche stand beside it on the list, and the Linienamt Speising is the one secular name among them. The Friedensstadt-Denkmal is a memorial.
Artists were housed on the Riedelgasse, and the Künstlersiedlung Riedelgasse still names that block.
What is the history of Speising?
Institutions shaped Speising more than commerce did, and the district's oldest names belong to a hospital church, a care-home church and a Linienamt rather than to a market square. Their names survive intact. The Spitalskirche Speising and the Versorgungsheimkirche remain the quarter's landmarks inside Vienna.
The Künstlersiedlung Riedelgasse and the Friedensstadt-Denkmal sit alongside them, and Lainz repeats the pattern half a kilometre away.
Where is Speising?
Speising lies half a kilometre from Lainz, with Hetzendorf and Hietzing the next Vienna quarters out from it.
