I agree that Vienna showing a Category 6 is a bit worrying, but perhaps their category has been decided already (but the others weren’t)
Time will tell!
Everything else in Germany is a 3 or 4, including a Park Hyatt in Hamburg.
Of course, brand matters less than the cash rates the hotel can charge.
But yeah, 7 should be a placeholder. Vienna has the PH comparator so it's fairly sensible to slot an Andaz into the same category.
