Lukas Hochedlinger, Christie & Co's managing director for Central & Northern Europe, said the sale of reaffirmed Vienna's position as "a focal point for international investors".

Christie's Chief Executive Dan Prickett highlighted the firm's growing international brokerage business.

"Across the UK and Europe, Christie & Co remain at the heart of the transactional hotel market, while we continue with our efforts to broaden our sector-specialist coverage to create a multi-sector brand on the continent," Prickett commented.
