TFE Hotels Introduces 'A by Adina' to Europe With New Opening in Vienna, Austria

A by Adina Vienna Danube is TFE Hotels First 'A by Adina' in Europe

By Asli Kutlucan CEO, TFE Hotels Europe | June 2025

As the newly appointed CEO of TFE Hotels, Europe, I am thrilled to be leading TFE’s European expansion at such an important time in its journey with its Adina brand family as well as our newest tech enabled soulful hospitality brand MM:NT. Adina has already proven itself to be a standout in the extended-stay hotel sector, having established a strong presence across Europe since its debut in 1997.

With seven new properties now open in the past few years across Austria, Switzerland, and beyond, Adina has demonstrated robust growth and has become synonymous with high-quality, apartment-style accommodations that cater to both short-term and long-term guests. It has never felt like a better time to expand TFE’s most premium offering with us introducing, A by Adina, to the European market for the first time. Austria’s wonderful capital, Vienna, felt like the most fitting and exciting next step.

I am proud to have joined a company with such a rich history and a clear vision for the future. I’ve worked within the hospitality industry for over thirty years, working across various countries including the US, UK, Rwanda and the Netherlands, which has provided me with a wealth of experience in hotel operations, development, construction, and acquisitions. I have had the privilege of developing and opening over 70 hotels during my three decades in the industry. This experience has deepened my passion for innovation and expansion, and I am excited to bring that expertise to TFE Hotels, Europe.

With my leadership team, we are focused on driving the growth of Adina Hotels in Europe, our newest tech enabled hospitality brand MM:NT, and elevating the brand into the premium hospitality space through the European debut of A by Adina - a new wave of premium extended-stay accommodation. A by Adina represents an exciting milestone in our expansion strategy. This premium brand is designed to redefine the extended-stay experience, combining the sophistication of high-end hotel services with the comfort and independence of apartment living. With A by Adina, we are responding to travellers who desire both flexibility and a luxe feel in their accommodation.

A by Adina is more than just an apart-hotel experience; it is a lifestyle offering. Each property in this brand is designed to meet the diverse needs of our guests - whether they are business professionals, expatriates, or families seeking a home away from home. The properties feature spacious living areas, full kitchens, stylish workspaces, and deluxe bathrooms. The seamless blend of independence and high-end service is what sets A by Adina apart and makes it such an attractive proposition for today’s discerning traveller.

One of the standout features of A by Adina is its unique design, which combines Australian influences with local architectural styles. A by Adina Vienna Danube showcases a striking fusion of European sophistication and Australian-inspired interiors. With natural materials, open spaces, and earthy tones, the design creates a serene and welcoming environment where guests can truly feel at home. A by Adina Vienna Danube offers a fusion of old-world charm and sleek modernity, providing a unique vantage point from which to experience Vienna’s dynamic evolution.

Located in contemporary Vienna, the hotel is just minutes away by underground train from the city’s historic centre, scenic green spaces, and Europe’s oldest amusement park. This exceptional location is truly a defining feature of the property. BWM Designers & Architects were commissioned by our team here at TFE Hotels to lead the interior design for our European debut of A by Adina in Vienna, Austria.

Our target audience for A by Adina includes individuals who value both sophistication and ease. Whether for business, extended leisure stays, or personal relocations, our guests seek premium accommodation that offer both flexibility and comfort. We believe A by Adina speaks to a wide demographic, especially young professionals and affluent travellers who appreciate the freedom of apartment living but still desire the convenience of luxe services that a high-end hotel can provide.

A by Adina’s expansion into Europe signals our ambition to become a global leader in the premium extended-stay sector. The upcoming opening of A by Adina Vienna Danube is just the beginning; this expansion will not only strengthen our foothold in Europe but will also position A by Adina as a top choice for premium travellers across the globe.

At A by Adina, we are committed to offering a truly seamless and premium experience. From wellness amenities such as the private heated infinity pool at the A by Adina Vienna Danube, which offers panoramic views of the Austrian capital to cutting-edge technology that enhances the guest experience, our focus is on delivering exceptional service and convenience. A by Adina Vienna Danube, also boasts several saunas as part of the exclusive member’s club and guest wellness offering, located on the fourth floor of the Danubeflats, the saunas are accompanied by an infrared cabin, a state-of-the-art gym and yoga studio - offering guests the opportunity to work out, relax and unwind in their own time.

The fourth floor wellness facilities and outside veranda circling the heated infinity pool has been designed by Vienna-based architecture and design studio, LABVERT, offering a refined environment for wellness and social gathering - exclusively for A by Adina guests and residents of the Danubeflats. This thoughtfully composed retreat balances functionality with understated luxury. The curved layout of the space is enhanced by floor-to-ceiling windows and glass doors, revealing sweeping panoramic views across Vienna, creating a sense of openness and calm.

On the fifth floor, guests can enjoy Lottie’s, the on-site bar and restaurant at A by Adina Vienna Danube, a destination where drinks take centre stage - crafted with precision, creativity, and a dash of intrigue. The menu features a mix of timeless classics with a modern twist, alongside inventive signature cocktails like an Old Fashioned infused with smoked eucalyptus or a sparkling spritz kissed with tropical lychee.

In true ‘a little luxe, a little laid back’ style, Lottie’s food offering is all about simple things done exceptionally well. A curated selection of shareable plates and elevated bar bites - such as artisan cheeses, incredible seafood, and perfectly executed small plates - complements the drinks-led experience. Rooted in both European and Australian influences, the menu blends sophistication with ease, creating an inviting atmosphere where elegance meets relaxed, social dining. Led by chef Theodoros Avgenikou, Lottie’s is the kind of place where the right dish, at the right moment, makes for an unforgettable experience.

Here at TFE Hotels, we are also integrating AI-driven solutions to personalise guest experiences, from AI-powered booking systems to room controls and in-room service requests. Our goal is to make every stay not only memorable but also effortlessly enjoyable. We’ve been demonstrating this with the first of its kind, MM:NT Berlin Lab, last year which acted as an ever-evolving mini-hotel laboratory, which offered guests the opportunity to share their own stay and actively change hospitality trends. MM:NT Berlin Lab is the world’s first public “beta” hotel, and continuously gathered guest feedback to redefine their stay and enable us at TFE Hotels, to shape our hospitality products in the future.

MM:NT Berlin Lab acts as an incubator for innovation, and welcomed its first commercial guests in summer last year. MM:NT offers guests a multi-functional space to sleep, cook, eat and relax. Operating with a self-serve mindset, MM:NT can be shaped to its guests needs. The hotel is digitally hosted, allowing guests to open doors, check-in before arrival and control access to their own room, all through their phone via a centralised digital concierge web app which is entirely run on green energy. This means MM:NT guests can access everything they might usually need from reception, all from their phones, whenever they need it.

MM:NT offers simplicity and transparency at the heart of the concept. Its approach to room categories is refreshingly straightforward: Little, Middle, and Big. With a commitment to understanding the desires of modern travellers, MM:NT streamlines the guest experience by prioritising what truly matters. Warm yet minimalistic spaces seamlessly blend thoughtful design with clever storage solutions, all while ensuring that every essential such as, toiletries, hair straighteners, hairdryers, cutlery, extra pillows, robes, toasters and more is all on-hand if needed. It’s a meticulous balance of comfort and convenience, where every detail is deliberately crafted to enhance the guest experience.

As we continue to grow and evolve, I am confident that A by Adina will redefine the premium extended-stay experience and set new standards in the hospitality industry. I look forward to leading this exciting chapter for Adina Hotels and TFE Hotels as a whole, and I am thrilled for what lies ahead.

A by Adina Vienna Danube is now open for guests and bookings. Room-only rates start from €199 per night for a Studio Queen Apartment. As part of a limited-time ‘Discover the A’ opening offer, room-only rates start from €179 per night, including a complimentary glass of champagne in a Studio Queen Apartment.
