The ecclesiastical institution known as the "Austrian Hospice of the Holy Family" was established for pilgrims in 1854 by the Austrian Catholic Church in the Holy Land. Today, the interior design is modern whilst retaining the 19th-century ambience. The guest house offers two options: dormitories (between 5-12 beds) or guest-rooms (single, double, or triple rooms). Catholic Liturgy is celebrated daily in the house-chapel. 

The Austrian Hospice aims to bring together different cultures within the realm of art, and space is given to contemporary art and music. The Austrian Hospice has its own cafe, Viennese Cafe, where you can enjoy magnificent views of the Old City whilst indulging in well-known Viennese specialties like coffee with whipped cream or sweetened milk, caffe latte with a slice of Sacher-torte or apple strudel.
