An Elton John song, Old Testament character, and Mr. Rogers' sidekick... Add to the Daniels we have known a jetsetter's hotspot in Vienna, Austria. While the Hotel Daniel itself is something to behold—we'll get to Florian Weitzer’s building on Landstraßer Gürtel and its trailer and boat another day—it's the Daniel Shop, the hotel boutique that's got our attention today.
The Daniel Shop stocks Brooks bags and ‘The Bee Station’ from England, Mexican hammocks, traveler's basics like sunglasses, hats, and cameras, as well as a range of in-house products (a soap, a white men's shirt, etc.). It presents it all in a rough hewn but elegant DIY setting amid self-made display areas and vintage '60s shop shelving. It's worth a visit, even if you aren't renting a room.
