Not sure what is going on. Any news?
Took me awhile, but found it: http://austriantimes.at/news/Busines...otel_to_close_

tl;dr: Hotel was in need of too much modernization. Carlson/Rezidor didn't want to do it, their contract expired 12/31/13 and they didn't renew. Owner is shutting it down and renovating, hopes to reopen as a hotel in 2016.
