This thread refers to the various Marriott brands within a specific geographic area. Marriott Bonvoy hotels in XX usually have posts asking which property is better, etc. Trip reports are usually better suited in the property specific threads.

How can they be the same amount of points? 
Ren IRS is Category 6 & Vienna Marriott is Category 8. The Marriott's in the center/on the Ring so I understand your wanting to stay there (I've stayed at both properties & recommend them both), but don't see how they can be the same amount of points.
Cheers.

Thanks for correcting me.

Hey guys,
planning a 2 day stay in Vienna and thinking about the IRS.
Is the lounge still decent? I remember they used to offer champagne once...

Didn't receive an upgrade but was in the main hotel on the 7th floor. Room was small but I enjoyed the quiet at night!
Cheers once again to Sharon! All the information provided made for a wonderful trip!
Update: ExArkie was right. Checked with my wife and it was indeed grüner veltliner (white bottle)!

I was there about a year ago. The sparkling wine was a Gruner Vetliner. The still wines were Austrian grapes, as well, but they varied over the course of the stay (about ten days, I think?). Seems like there were about three or four different whites, a couple of different reds.

Thank you everyone!
So if I understand it correctly: The IRS consists of 2 buildings, one main hotel and one club wing?
Which one is better to stay in?

I appreciated that my floor was really quiet, but I needed to take a daily 6:00 AM hike yo the lounge every morning for coffee (no coffee maker in room).
Would have appreciated a larger room; it was a little tight for 7 nights.

The IRS would be fine if the Marriott didn't exist. I've been staying at the Marriott since 1999 and for good reason. The location is unbeatable and now after a long overdue renovation the rooms are very comfortable- even if they are a bit on the small side.

The Marriott has the best location, but IRS isn't far. IRS is Cat 8 vs MAR Cat 9, and price is usually a bit less expensive on paid stays. I went to school in Wien, have been back several times over the years for mtgs/class reunions/FT Dos, and have stayed at both properties multiple times. The nice part is that both properties are good options! 
Cheers.

Had overnight stay 24 Sept. Arrived late, left early on 25th. Room small, clean, quick check in after doing it on line. Have not received emailed invoice but charge has not appeared on my cc yet either. Would definitely recommend for similar (airport hotel). Did not use any facilities.

Just posted a mini-review of recent stay at the Marriott in the thread Sharon created for that property. https://www.flyertalk.com/forum/marr...l#post28898114
