Vienna - a Brilliant Hotel

Welcome to Vienna. Land of strange and wonderful things. For the duration of the festival Morro was staying at the Hotel Brillantengrund where everything was brilliant... including the windows... and the colours of the exterior of the hotel...

The inside of the rooms were equally as exciting with mini red chairs (which were perfect for Peabody) and a very very tall closet that you needed a stick for hanging anything.  Morro couldn't even reach the rack without the stick and she is pretty tall. 

Morro's very favourite thing was the bed. It was a round circle. It was probably the fanciest bed that she ever slept on and it had a chandelier over top... Pretty much just like a princess. Jasp would have really liked it, so Morro took lots of photos to send to her. She asked around and apparently her's was the only room with a circle bed so they must have special ordered it because they knew she was coming.  

Then there was the BAD room. The room located exactly next to number 108 (Morro's room) was labelled with the word "BAD".  Morro, of course,  immediately tried opening the door upon seeing this but it was locked. Her curiously was piqued, however, and each time she passed the door, she checked to see if it was unlocked. 

Each morning, breakfast was a selection of delicious loaves and Nutella or jam... and an orange juicer so you could make fresh squeezed juice. Breakfast of champions. One morning, upon sneaking a banana from the dining room back up to her room, Morro reached the top of the tiny spiralling marble staircase to discover that the door was open. The BAD door was ajar! She checked left, and then right, and no one was around. She ran down the hall trying not to squish the banana in excitement. There it was open for all to see. She looked in. It was cleaning products... and lots of them... and a sink... and a mop... sometimes it's more exciting not to know.  

The hotel had a lovely little courtyard with fairy lights and a tree. All the smoking rooms were around it so you couldn't really go in there unless you were prepared to be attacked by second hand cancer, but it looked pretty through the windows. There were magical and fancy lights everywhere throughout the place, and a classic "Hotel" sign out front. All in all it was pretty trendy, and had an awesome cool staff, and could totally belong on Queen Street West... except that everything was in German. It was great and a super home for Morro for ten days. You should totally check it out if you are going to Vienna. Danke to everyone that worked there!
