VIE has a RR station from which you can catch trains to other cities, as well as into the centre of the city, Wien Sudbahnhoff (Ost). The train into the city runs hourly, at 4 minutes past the hour, though this may have changed since last year. From this RR station, you can take a cab to the Ring where the Bristol is located, or you can take the U-bahn to the Karlsplatz stop. This requires a transfer, but it is a short two block walk from here. Easier is to take the D-tram from outside the RR station.

Even better, there is an airport bus service that runs to the City Air Terminal at the Hilton [Bahnhof Wien Mitte], from which you can take the U-bahn (U4) to the same Karlsplatz stop, or catch a cab. The Hilton is about a mile away from the Bristol, on the other side of the StatsPark.
